I know I am a bit late on this however, as I read Michelle Obama’s “Mumbo-jumbo” thesis, I had thought the exact same as you. Individuals with more in common with one another, will be attracted to one another. Isn’t that her whole thesis?
It’s my understanding Michelle had a full scholarship to both Princeton and Harvard. I am high school educated man. Is this the best she could come up with?
Let’s see, 1) If you are a women, who conceived a child; studies show*: you will spend more time with other women who conceived and not single women.
2) If you are a man who is an avid golfer, studies show*; you’ll spend more time with other avid golfers and not softball players.
3) If you are _____________, studies show*, you’ll spend more time with ____________ and not _____________.
studies show*; to mean my own observations.
I am sending this to Princeton and see if they will give me an “Honorary Degree”.

Her thesis definetly has an affinity for keeping the status quo, black racism, alive. She comes across as preferring to see black segregationism instead of American integration.
But that perceived preference is muted by the general tone to the thesis which is: what happens when blacks enter an integrated social setting. That is not an outrageous question to ask.
The results seem to say that integration is the normal result.

Michelle has pushed her race back 40 years plus with her remarks. In addition, the topic of her study is so trite, that it is amazing that tax payer dollars paid for this trash! What do you expect when Chicago politics mix with Princeton liberal thought?

Racism comes in all colors. I surely don’t want this taken into the White House.
As a Democrat, the choice for me would have been Hillary Rodham Clinton, but now I will vote for John McCain. A man of honor, to all Americans and our Country.

Why do you want to help the poor black people so much more than the poor white people. Why not just give all your money to the very poor?
Forget about the past. Live in the now. Change the way you think.
Don’t change America.

If a conservative wrote about this subject, there would such an uproar by the liberal press.
God Bless America, we are going to need it.

She and her husband are both racists.
Birds of a feather.

I would like to address angrynana. “The whole black issue….” The whole black issue is white people (yes, I said it white people). White people are always spouting forget the past, moved on. BE RESPONSIBLE! Well, when are you going to be reponsible for your actions, what you have done.
Less, than 50 years ago Eugene “Bull” Connor, used high-pressure water jets and police dogs to control black protestors. Who is going to be responsible for that? Who is going to be responsible for the lack of educational equality for minorities. When the tides change and whites are the poor minorities, what then?
So, do you think only blacks are in jail, pregnant and on drugs. You don’t know any whites on drugs, uneducated and in jail (some for blowing up schools, or shooting them up). Even, though studies and the news predict Blacks tragic downfall as part of this country…if you look thru eyes wide open you will see that Blacks have made great strides inspite of the torture they have endured. Please, recognize that the African American race is a phenomenal race and a compliment to this country.
Just like YOUR President. Again, Michelle Obama was 21 in 1985 when she attended Princeton.

And that just royally p/sses people off. So the backlash has been and is tremendously venomous and absolutely senseless.
There is nothing wrong with this paper by Michelle Obama. There is nothing wrong or shameful for a person to choose to study his/her own culture and heritage within a nation of diverse cultures.
The attitudes towards people of color in this country, such as the blacks and Native Americans, is shameful. On the one hand if black people or the natives try to rise up above the oppression, the whites get all bent out of shape just like they are doing right now towards the Obamas… Yet if these oppressed races don’t try to rise up, evolve, make changes they’re condemned and looked down upon by races who believe themselves to be more superior, which is usually the white race, and they’re treated with disdain.
It’s like Peoples of Color are da/mned if they do and they’re da/mned if they don’t. It’s pitiful really because the one thing that will always keep a nation divided is racial prejudice amongst the people.

All these degrees in Sociology and [enter group name] Studies are such a waste of time and money it’s baffling.

who are more educated will gravitate toward others who share similar life styles and economic/ educational status whether it be through work or community activities no matter what racial culture you were exposed to during your formative years. A well educated black or white person unlikely would ever associate with a very impoverished black or white person on a social level. They are in completly different circles of society in general.

One can even instill bright colors into the website.
However I will only mention a few of the most popular website types of which the majority of the users tend to buy.

it might not be a taboo subject but usually people don’t talk about these subjects. To the next! Many thanks!!

I guess if it weren’t for her hubby’s massive failures in all phases of the presidency, she’d be able to play something OTHER than the race card…

Does running a well-established blog like yours require a large amount of work?
I’m completely new to blogging but I do write in my journal on a
daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience and feelings online.
Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for
brand new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!
