Princeton Educated Blacks and the Black Community [Michelle Obama thesis]
The Politico ^ | 1985 | Michelle Obama

Posted on 05/16/2008 2:25:15 PM PDT by Winged Hussar

Mrs. Obama clearly identifies herself with a “separatist” view of race. “By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as a result of their ideologies, a separatist 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.” Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to her “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.” [See page 2 of the first .pdf file, http://www.politico.com/pdf/080222_MOPrincetonThesis_1-251.pdf] Michele Obama clearly has a chip on her shoulder. Not only does she see separate black and white societies in America, but she elevates black over white in her world.

Here is another passage that is uncomfortable and ominous in meaning: “There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost.” [This also is on page 2]

My goodness, is that 981 pages of thesis? Is there some substance in there, or is it just diarrhea of the pen?

Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama’s resentments toward her country and its citizens were undoubtedly nourished by the effect that her set-aside affirmative action appointment to Princeton had on her. It would appear that she was unable to reconcile her black cultural nationalist/separatist philosophy with her tenure at Princeton, a place for which she was wholly unsuited by dint of preparation and talent, if her poorly written senior thesis is any indication. Rather than appreciating the AA slack cut her by the lib profs, she chose to lash out at what she saw as condescension and maybe some pity from them. She felt that she didn’t belong and she probably didn’t, but her racial sensitivity antenna read racism and bigotry rather that contemptuous pity. Her artificially inflated ego couldn’t stand that and she has mutated an enormous shoulder chip ever since.
Now we can only hope that the Barack He who must not be middle named Obama campaign does not muzzle her and deprive the GOP of a priceless asset. Bur from what I hear that is a dangerous proposition for any worker in that campaign. She appears to be as unmanageable and ornery as the Hildabeast.

wife of Barack Obama stated that America was a nation founded on “crime and hatred”.

Makes me cry. This woman has caused racial division where there had never been any before. Now I don't want to know any Blacks, will never go out of my way to help or understand them again. My door is shut, as is my wallet.

find myself striving for many of the same goals as my White classmates - acceptance to a prestigious graduate or professional school or a high paying position in a successful corporation.

Ah, I get it success is a white thing and not to be emulated.

Michele Obama is the poster child for affirmative action. Had she been any flavor(other than black of course)her HS grades would have kept her from setting foot on campus. Her thesis at Princeton was about on par with a 7th grade elementary student yet this creature received a degree, pathetic.

BULLSH#$!!!!!
She is making 300,000 a year, they are both millionaires
You mean to tell me they still consider themselves disenfranchised. Is being on the outer edge of the socalled white society so disturbing or is it the money, michelle? 2 hypocrites, like Wright IN HIS MILLION DOLLAR MANSION IN A GATED WHITE COMMUNITY
