Re: Black Commentator Blasts First Lady

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Humano</div><div class="ubbcode-body">In her senior thesis at Princeton, she talked about how black students can feel a sense of alienation on that Ivey League campus, and in the primaries, she said that for the first time in her life she felt proud of her country, a comment magnified beyond what she said was her intent. Are these the musings of a militant?

Not in the least.</div></div>
Her roommate’s mom refused to let her daughter room with her because her daughter was white and Michelle was Black.
Even without her knowing the details you can deduce from this that something was in the air so she could not have been that far off the Reservation.

but i can see where someone coming from a different POV could perceive her to be &quot;rebellious&quot;.. </div></div>

or free thinking... not afraid to challenge the status quo?? </div></div>

I'm sure there are those whoe perceive her in this manner..

The comment was spun way out of context and the joke is even Dick Cheney <span style="font-style: italic">(not to mention the millions of folks worldwide who acknowledged a more perfect Union with the coming of Barack to the White House)</span>, recently made comments about the changing of the guard and the import of it.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Jaded</div><div class="ubbcode-body">an remember her thesis?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Obama, who concentrated in sociology and received a certificate in African-American studies, examined how the attitudes of black alumni have changed over the course of their time at the University. &quot;Will they become more or less motivated to benefit the Black community?&quot; Obama wrote in her thesis.

After surveying 89 black graduates, Obama concluded that attending the University as an undergraduate decreased the extent to which black alumni identified with the black community as a whole.

Obama drew on her personal experiences as an example.

&quot;As I enter my final year at Princeton, I find myself striving for many of the same goals as my White classmates -- acceptance to a prestigious graduate school or a high-paying position in a successful corporation,&quot; she wrote, citing the University's conservative values as a likely cause.

&quot;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,&quot; she said, noting the small size of the African-American studies department and that there were only five black tenured professors at the University across all departments.

Obama studied the attitudes of black Princeton alumni to determine what effect their time at Princeton had on their identification with the black community. &quot;My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'Blackness' than ever before,&quot; she wrote in her introduction. &quot;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.&quot; </div></div> </div></div>

I have to laugh this is the like the pro forma response as to why Michelle is an angry Black Harridan. As if she was not in school, did not observe, did not defend her Thesis based upon her own experiences. How old is she now?
Did anyone ash her if things had changed on the College Campus?
