Snopes referring to the Michelle Obama thesis.

I’m sick of all this pandering to the “black community”. They are 6% of the population but you’d think they were 85% for all the whining and noise they make. The Asians come here, get busy, get educated and in a very short time they’re prosperous. The Mexicans, in general, are hard workers who unfortunately are at risk of becoming the group pandered to which will destroy whatever work ethic they showed up here with.

What a crock. The “blacks” should get over themselves and copy the asians.

I’ve read excerpts. It’s pretty bad. Her command of language ... not college thesis quality.

Thanx for the pingaling

I am officially sick and tired of this entire nightmare of a movie.

How could a person who hates America, was groomed by Marxists and is more than likely part of a religion that wants to see this country destroyed, one step away from the White House?

Seriously, how in the world is this possible?

Everyday I feel like I’m in the middle of a nightmare from which I cannot extricate myself.

Sorry...I had to vent.

I've already seen Michelle's thesis from Princeton several months ago.

Let's hope we likewise have an opportunity to see Barack Obama's thesis which he supposedly wrote at Columbia. Nor has his transcript there been released. Wonder why.

Michelle Obama’s thesis according to Cliff Notes: I hate America, I hate whitey. What more do you need to know.

Well, there's the "whitey owes me more" part.

From page 7 of Part I on Politico:
"The idea of separationism and pluralism (both cultural structural and societal structural) is also discussed by Billingsley (1968) who believes there is a need for Blacks to build up their own communities; define themselves by new "Black" standards different from the old White standards; and exercise power and control over their own institutions and services within the Black community."

Gee, doesn't this sound like inner-city Chicago today?

(Or, in a more tin-foil, sinister vein -- Sharia law in the U.K. ?)

And from page 8 from Part I of Politico:

Conyers and Wallace (1976) embody the idea of Blacks working with Whites as a plausible political and economic ideology about relations between the Black and White Communities. Their discussion focuses on representative integration which is the integration of Black official into various aspects of politics. They discuss problems which face these Black officials who must persuade the White community that they are above issues of race and that they are representing all people and not just Black people."

Sounds like the whole Obama campaign, until it ran into trouble, at which point the Race Card got played (for example by Kansas Gov. Sibelius.)

More to follow as I get time.

Cheers! Cheers!

It is VERY important to notice when reading this document, which has been stored as a .pdf: NO kerning!

Cheers!

You know, I skimped through this thesis....

She is a terrible speaker...makes many mistakes...
But i dont see many mistakes if any in this thesis, this is NOT hers...When was this done???

There doesn’t seem to be mistakes in English grammar or spelling mistakes....This is no way hers??? Was there spell check back then?

But again, i could be wrong...

[A_Former_Democrat]

I have a hard time understanding the same. Yet there are many people who “live right, vote left.” I ran into one the other day . . . Jewish female lawyer from NY . . .”you voting for Obama”? Of course she was, absolutely.

Yet in the same conversation she went on to complain how her son’s high school was dumbing down the curriculum, thus hurting his college choice opportunities.

Some people just don’t get it.

[mnehring]

Bump for later..

[grey_whiskers]

From page 20 (in part II on Politico):

"Thus, the higher the class and the more upward the career mobility, the more comfortable these Blacks will be with Whites than with lower class Blacks. Class and upward mobility will probably influence the dependent variables in the same way that time spent influenced the independent variables."

Hmm, her thesis technically covers only Princeton Alumni of color.

Otherwise we could use Jeremiah Wright (assigned to the medical team to care for LBJ, received a personal letter of thanks from the White House physician, Vice Admiral Burkley; holds a Master's Degree in English --if Wikipedia is accurate (!) ) as a counterexample.

Cheers!

It’s pretty bad. Her command of language ... not college thesis quality.

That's the truth. This is copied verbatim from the Acknowledgments section.

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

[grey_whiskers]

Come to think of it, given the entire subject of the thesis -- measuring the Princeton experience and its effects on Princeton students of color vis-à-vis race relations -- Princeton didn't help her to assimilate completely in either van der Berghe's first or second sense.

"For the first time in my adult life, I was proud of my country."

Cheers!

"...no one has any way of knowing how much of it had been re-written, edited, or otherwise changed to hide any damning comments, statements, or arguments.

This is pitiful.

If this is the re-written, cleaned up version the original must be downright unreadable.

She writes at the level of a semi-literate black teenager with a racist chip on her shoulder pouring her presumed victimhood out on MySpace.

[grey_whiskers]

Pg. 30 and 31 read in part:

"Table 4.4 a shows that during Pre-to-Prin period a larger percentage of respondents reported becoming unmotivated to benefit God, than they were in becoming motivated to benefit God, but during the Prin-to-Post period a larger percentage of respondents reported becoming motivated to benefit God than they were becoming not motivated to benefit God."

Ivy League secular indoctrination strikes again, documented by a simultaneous member of two preferred victim groups! (and therefore not propaganda from the Religious Right^TM

[SERKIT]

It is interesting that the thesis is in the first-person (my, I, me). Wouldn't an advisor steer students to do more objective work and use “third person-professional” type of style?

[struggle]

So she didn’t even get a degree, then? I’m writing my thesis and plan to go on to my doctorate, and I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t even feel comfortable taking a class with someone who graduated with a CERTIFICATE (whatever that means...).
