Snopes referring to the Michelle Obama thesis.

I'd rather sort my sock drawer, followed by watching paint dry.
The race card?
I remember a draft paper being sent back to me for the same thing, and that was in undergrad. Do I have grounds for a lawsuit? /s
“she received a certificate”
What is a certificate?
did she receive a degree?
Agreed!!
I’ve read excerpts. It’s pretty bad. Her command of language ... not college thesis quality.
I picked up several grammatical and punctuation mistakes in just a few pages. But alas, she was a sociology major, not an English major.
Agreed - people in college are sometimes malleable and idealistic and know that to get an A you sometimes parrot your professors, who are leftie loonies. Too many of them do more than parrot, though, and swallow the party line hook, line, and sinker. Fortunately, most then go into the real world, get a job and have to pay bills, and the scales fall from their eyes prety quickly.
Of course, some folks leave the college Liberal Cradle for an almost indentical one in the world of lobbyists, Non-for-Profit social justice brigades, and the like. They never grow up, though they realize that the liberal ideology sold as idealism is actually its opposite - fascist bullying. Them that adhere to it after this realization are the true thugs. Obama is a thug. Rev. Wright's a thug. Most journalists are thugs. The Fannie/Freddie bureaucrats and their congressional enablers are thugs. I haven't heard enough from Mrs. Obama to judge.
I agree. I found it quite painful to read.
Her command of the english language and thought process is, well, pretty short.
There is already a movie about this kind of oppression taking over a nation.
It’s called “V for Vengeance”.
In it, the Magic Avenger (”V”) gets close to and kills off all those who have oppressed him (by making him the subject of a series of experiments), and eventually he escapes because of a fire in the facility, coming back and playing “the Count of Monte Cristo”.
I think Michelle was just using the “Cliff Notes” of the Alexandre Dumas tale, and adapting it to her own experiences. You shall note, that Michelle’s research does seem ultimately self-absorbed.
You know what shocked me when I read her thesis many months ago? It wasn’t her racial attitudes. It was how poorly the thesis was written. It totally blows the notion of Michelle as an intellectual.
The times were the mid-80’s. I’d give it more of a pass on content if it were late 60’s to mid 70’s, but not in the mid-80’s.
Plus, it is awful consistent with what she is saying now.
Well, that's really it in a nutshell for Michelle and other "leaders" of the black community like Jesse, Al, and others, isn't it....? There really isn't any evidence to support our claims, but we still feel descrimination, so it must be present.
The bimbo wrote a thesis? What is it about - killing “whitey”?
“Back then”, one turned over their draft to a paid public steno-typist, who put it into proper form for a fee, and typed the final draft. They USUALLY corrected spelling errors as part of the service.
There were always many in college towns who specialized in typing term papers, etc.
They did NOT write nor fact check a paper, though they may have suggested editorial/grammatical changes, for an additional fee.
I wasn't able to afford them, so pecked out my own class papers on a Royal portable typewriter, using style templates from the campus bookstore...and lots of correction tape.
“Only $350,000.......SHE IS OPPRESSED!!!
Help free Mrs. Barry from the confines of oppression.”
PLEASE! Someone OPPRESS me!
Who knows what they mean, since current AP practice is to refer to a HS diploma as a "degree".
At Princeton one can obtain a certificate from the Bendheim Center for Finance “that attests to the proficiency in the discipline.” A certificate, as far as I know, if not the equivalent of a B.A. or B.Sci.
Ok, First you CHANGE your race and get your spouse elected Senator.

It IS consistent with what she's saying now, that's why I said she didn't grow out of it.
I was a RAT until I grew out of it.
