Michelle Obama's Refined Racism

Michelle Obama and Black Separationists at Princeton

Read the full thesis here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.
Or here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.

For months during the nominating process, Michelle Obama's graduating thesis has been under lock and key at Princeton University. The university stated suspiciously that it would be available to the public after the general election. Nobody knew why until now.

Michelle Obama's Refined Racism

The sequestering of an academic thesis was unprecedented at Princeton, a liberal university that prides itself on open access to scholarly information. Despite repeated attempts by media organizations to view the document, Obama's alma mater would provide no explanation for hiding it.

The thesis written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn, is titled Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community." You can download it here.

Politico.com received a possibly redacted copy from the Obama campaign recently. The excerpts show that Obama identifies with black militancy, utterly obsessed with race in America and her own blackness. It is a fundamentally racist document, shocking when considering that this scholarship is the product of a presidential candidate's wife at a great university.

She mourns that she will face further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant."

Obama's thesis is full of paranoid claims and overtly racist feelings. She cannot accept the idea of a diverse student body working together in a melting pot. Others worry about her black militancy here.

"I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don't belong. Regardless of the circumstances under which I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second."

Not only does she see separate black and white societies in America, but she elevates black over white in her world.

There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I was somehow obligated to this community and would utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit this community first and foremost.

What is Michelle Obama planning to do with her future resources that will elevate black over white in America?

Most alarming is her use of the terms "separationist" and "integrationist" when describing the views of black people. She clearly identifies herself with a separationist" view of race.

By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as a result of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand the desperation of their situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an integrationist who is ignorant to their plight."

Here is another typical passage that is uncomfortable for its poor writing, but nevertheless ominous in meaning:

Attending Princeton has probably forced [black alumni] to compete intellectually with Whites more than with Blacks and, thus, they have probably become more familiar with Whites intellectually, but in other activities they are likely to have gained familiarity with Whites if they did not spend time with Whites in other activities besides intellectual ones.

Is it no wonder that most black alumni ignored her racist questionnaire? Only 89 responded out of 400 who were asked for input.

The following passage appears to be a call to arms for affirmative action policies that could be the hallmark of an Obama administration.

"Predominately white universities like Princeton are socially and academically designed to cater to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of their enrollments."

The conclusion of the thesis is alarming. Michelle Obama's poll of black alumni helps her understand that other black students at Princeton do not share her obsession with blackness. She laments that only 1/3 say they are more comfortable around black people than white people.

But rather than celebrate, she is horrified that black alumni identify with our common American culture more than they value the color of their skin.

"I hoped that these findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree of identification with whites as a result of the educational and occupational path that black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a certain level of identification with the black community. However, these findings do not support this possibility."

Michelle Obama does not look into a crowd and see Americans. She sees black people and white people eternally conflicted with one another.

That is a very divisive view for a potential first lady that would do untold damage to race relations in this country in a Barack Obama administration. Michelle Obama's intellectually refined racism should give all Americans pause for deep concern.

When she said she wasn’t proud of her country until that day,well in my opinion is she will not be happy until her husband is President and able to tell the white folks what to do. It’s all about power.

Leftists protect each other. Her thesis is kept from us because it would convince us that her husband should not be elected. The left did the same thing for Hillary - her thesis was hidden from the public because it shows that she is a confirmed marxist.

On the other hand, she rails against "white society" for keeping her as a black woman always on the "periphery," never a "full participant."

I got this funny feeling that she got snubbed by some white guy she had a thing for. Just fits the bill.

She's a miserable and racist douche-bag. If the Obama’s were white they would be run out of office for being Klan members. She might be educated but that education did nothing to take away her ignorance.

Michelle Obama and Jeremiah Wright are the best things that could have happened to Cankles.

Barackstar was at this sermon..............Wright’s strong sentiments were echoed in the Sunday morning service attended by NewsMax.

Wright laced into America’s establishment, blaming the “white arrogance” of America’s Caucasian majority for the woes of the world, especially the oppression suffered by blacks. To underscore the point he refers to the country as the “United States of White America.” Many in the congregation, including Obama, nodded in apparent agreement as these statements were made.

The sermon also addressed the Iraq war, a frequent area of Wright’s

If you aren't from the South, it is uncanny how you just defined the dilemma we've lived with in the South for two generations. Nothing is ever enough and no amount of inclusive behavior on our part ever makes any difference.

Hey, everyone!
Pop quiz:
What is Michelle & Barack’s theme song?

Could it be? :


I see a White House and I want it painted black
No Whities anymore I want the world to be black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes;
They will all be in hijab as my darkness grows
I see a line of cars and they’re all burned to black
With my power and my hate, America turns black.
I’ll make white people turn their heads and quickly run away
For every new black baby; reparations every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my White House and it has been painted black
I’ll never fade away; You’ll have to face the fact:
If you elect me, I’ll turn your your whole world black!

All you green eyed devils; I’ll turn your life to rue.
You did not foresee this happening to you?
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My hate will laugh with me before the morning comes

I see a White world and I want it painted black
No bright colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
They will all be in hijab when my power Grows.
Hmm, hmm, hmm,…
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!


(With apologies to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.... I only had to change a few words to make this work.)

++++++++++++++++++++
You would think that their present status would shake her beliefs. Obama is doing so well because of so many who have united behind him yet her views are not likely to change when the real issue here is her own identity problems.

And with a $300K annual income she seems no happier.

Bitterness has taken over. She needs a shot of self worth.

never a “full participant.”

And becoming first lady is not going to change her view of herself.

The bigger concern is how poorly written the thesis is. Hardly the work of someone I would want in a leadership role. And hardly indicative of someone deserving of a $300K salary, especially in a public relations role.

I take seriously the idea that affirmative action has been one of the most destructive elements to this country and her Constitution. Consider that it these graduates who are now in leadership positions through out this country in all walks of life, professions and business. Then behold the current condition of America's infrastructures, how it is being ripped and stripped in every form that it has manifested, only to now be sold to the highest bidder regardless of their intentions towards this country's best interests.

We have a generation of" of college created leaders who seem to have no understanding of" facts and logical deduction. These 'despots' have been promoted on the basis of their"mastery of whining, their ideologies that despise the individual, any kind of productivity, and love of only money that is their own. Because that is the only standard that they could accept, that is not related to morality, race, nation, or religion.

It's not even a race issue. Witness the present state of our economy and what our "best minds", (really means our 'best graduates'), have managed to make out our once decent economy.

By making promotions contingent on instutional degrees, we have lost the people who can really make things happen, and have accepted in their place those who have the 'right degrees'. Even when those degrees do not indicate any accomplishment in the real world.

But then this is the mind set that has been necessary to make the pretext of 'affirmative action' possible. All previous definitions of education must be ignored and replaced by purposefully ignorant contentions, not even civilized debate.

'Affirmative Action' produces exactly what it is touted as being against, Institutional Racism.~ It must be a 'liberal' idea.

It’s all about power. ++++++++++++++++ It won't change a thing because she'll then complain about lack of respect perceived in her own mind. She has an identity problem that is deeply embedded for whatever reason.
