For your info - according to Snopes.com. I checked this out and it IS a direct quote from Snopes.com. Don't know whether she's grown up any since this happened. Steve
According to Snopes.com, Princeton was requested to put a 'restriction' on distributionof any copies of the thesis of Michelle Obama (a/k/a/ Michelle laVaughn Robinson) sayingit could not be made available until November 5, 2008 but when it was published on apolitical website they decided they would lift the restriction. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/thesis.asp Subj: Thesis - Michele Obama aka Michelle LaVaughn Robinson
OBAMA'S MILITANT RACISM REVEALED In her senior thesis at Princeton, Michele Obama, the wife of Barack Obamastated that America was a nation founded on 'crime and hatred'. Moreover, she stated that whites in America were 'ineradicably racist'. The1985 thesis, titled 'Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community' waswritten under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson. Michelle Obamastated in her thesis that to 'Whites at Princeton , it often seems as if, to them,she will always be Black first...' However, it was reported by a fellow blackclassmate, 'If those 'Whites at Princeton ' really saw Michelle as one whoalways would 'be Black first,' it seems that she gave them that impression'. Most alarming is Michele Obama's use of the terms 'separationist' and'integrationist' when describing the views of black people. Mrs. Obama clearly identifies herself with a 'separationist' view of race. 'By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as aresult of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand thedesperation 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 likelylead to her 'further integration and/or assimilation into a white culturaland social structure that will only allow me to remain on the peripheryof society; never becoming a full participant.' Michele Obama clearly has a chip on her shoulder. Not only does she seeseparate black and white societies in America , but she elevates black overwhite 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 blackcommunity, I am obligated to this community and will utilizeall of my present and future resources to benefit the blackcommunity first and foremost.' What is Michelle Obama planning to do with her future resources if she's firstlady that will elevate black over white in America? The following passageappears to be a call to arms for affirmative action policies that could be thehallmark of an Obama administration. 'Predominately white universities likePrinceton are socially and academically designed to cater to the needs of thewhite students comprising the bulk of their enrollments.'
The conclusion of her thesis is alarming. Michelle Obama's poll of black alumni concludes that other black studentsat Princeton do not share her obsession with blackness. But rather thancelebrate, she is horrified that black alumni identify with our commonAmerican culture more than they value the color of their skin. 'I hoped thatthese findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree ofidentification with whites as a result of the educational and occupationalpath that black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain acertain level of identification with the black community. However, thesefindings do not support this possibility.'Is it no wonder that most black alumni ignored her racist questionnaire? Only 89 students responded out of 400 who were asked for input.Michelle Obama does not look into a crowd of Obama supporters and seeAmericans. She sees black people and white people eternally conflictedwith one another.The thesis provides a trove of Mrs. Obama's thoughts andworld view seen through a race-based prism. This is a verydivisive view for a potential first lady that would do untolddamage to race relations in this country in a Barack Obamaadministration. Michelle Obama's intellectually refined racism should give allAmericans pause for deep concern.Now maybe she's changed, and maybe not....but she sure sounds like someonewith an axe to grind with America. Will the press let Michelle get a free pass overher obviously racist comment about American whites? I am sure that it will. PS: We paid for her scholarship. Talk about racism !!! Now we can truly understand why Mr. Obama does NOT want his wife brought into the picture right now.. . .
