Michelle beat huge competition to win a place studying sociology at Princeton, one of America's most venerable and expensive universities.

Her choice of sociology as her major in college gives some insight into her choice of words about being proud of her country, IMHO.

Cry me a river.

If Michelle wants to run a contest for "person most abused by Princeton," lots of women are running way ahead of her.

Heck, even Hillary has Michelle beat, since women were not even allowed to matriculate at PU in the mid-sixties.

Back in the 80's, my husband was overlooked for a promotion that SHOULD have been his hands down, but was instead given to a Black man simply because he was black, and it was an opportunity for upper management to promote a black into a management position--for affirmative action quotas, as this was a DOD contractor under pressure to promote "other than whites" into management positions. Needless to say, it shocked my husband, but it completely shocked the Black appointee as well.

Imagine how many other times this has gone on across the country, and continues to do so.
