Michelle Obama thesis was on racial divide
POLITICO ^ | 3/17/08 | Jeffrey Ressner

Michelle Obama's senior year thesis at Princeton University, obtained from the campaign by Politico, shows a document written by a young woman grappling with a society in which a black Princeton alumnus might only be allowed to remain "on the periphery." Read the full thesis here:

If they make it to the nomination, and get nominated, they will be HAMMERED for this. They seem to be obsessed with the issue of race, almost stereotypically so. Most people, pubbie and rat, will be very irritated to hear about “racial divides” all of the time.

And what of Hillary!'s thesis on Marxist socialism?

It would be nice to put them both up, side by side, so we can see how unsuited both candidates really are.

"I(Michelle Obama) 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 underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second."

Therein lies the rub. Blacks know liberals are shallow and discriminating, seeing color first and looking down on them, yet they continue to associate with them. True conservativism judges people by their actions and doesn't assume things based on race.

but everything makes more sense after watching Rev Jeremiah Wrong. The hands on the crotch, the flag pin, the “first time I’m really proud of America” etc

The more that is revealed about the Obama’s racist leanings, the more likely that Hillary will get the nomination even if Obama has more votes and elected delegates. It is going to be an interesting DNC nomination.

Many, including African-Americans, were amazed at Michelle Obama’s statement that only now is she proud to be an American. Now we know why. Any one who sat and listened to Jeremiah Wrights spewing American hatred for twenty years would certainly have a warped sense of judgment of the American society.

Am I the only one who is wondering where Michelle Obama has been the last four or five days? No major MSM reports of her campaigning for hubby. I think they had to chain her and her enmity for the United States up.

Thank-you Professor Wallace you have made me a much better student.

This was gleaned from the Acknowledgment section of her thesis. This is exactly how it appeared.

That an Ivy League institution accepts such poor writing in a thesis simply boggles my mind.

Right and see who the new Gov of New York’s father’s friends are. Dingal and Rangel. Just what we need. The race dividers.

Michelle Obama’s thesis is typical of the indoctrination and so-called serious study of “African American Studies.” These courses are taught from one political point of view and they simply graduate supporters of Jeremiah Wright. The irony is the thinking is so lock-step, there is no diversity. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Wow. What a dynamic, interesting thesis.

Had I handed in something as inane and stupid as this I would have been failed.

Black, black, black. Good Lord. It's enough to make one gag.

This is, indeed, a 'Democrat boring' and self-serving piece of prattle.

It seems the running theme in all the controversy, both with Michelle and Pastor Wright is the notion that a black man must not conform to white standards of education and success if in the process a black man or woman loses their black identity.

As if to say if you are Black, Educated and Successful you are less black than those in the black community who tend to drop out of school, get pregnant during their teens and do not learn a job skill.

All evident in the teaching of "The Black Value System" as preached from the pulpit of Pastor Wright and those like him.
