Media Firestorm:posted by: Political Pyro

Part of my problem with the media coverage of the Obama campaign has been its blatant hypocrisy toward dealing with the issue of racism in America. Somehow, white people can be racist, black people cannot. West Virginians are racist. South Carolinians are not.
In truth, anyone can be a racist. One does not have to utter racial slurs to qualify as a racist either. It’s what’s in your heart and mind that counts… Or in your college thesis…
Here is a quote from Michelle Obama’s thesis at Princeton:
"My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘blackness’ than ever before. 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. Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second."
By the tone of her writing, one would think this was written in 1965, not 1985. If it was actually true that Michelle was mistreated in any way, one would think she would provide evidence. She says — no matter how hard they "try to be open-minded toward me"… Very revealing. The key word here is try. They did try. Yet, her paper is peppered with vague accusations like "it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second."
What? Perhaps maybe possibly they kinda perhaps sorta thought some bad stuff about her even though they accepted her into the college and tried to welcome her into the group? Sounds like Michelle alienated herself. Perhaps some of her own deep feelings of inferiority were beginning to show. Here is more:
Michelle Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to her "further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant."
WTF? What did MLK die for again? I thought this was a melting pot! Is there even a white social structure? Again, it is Michelle who seems to have a problem with white people, not vice versa, and the idea of her assimilating into "white culture" seems downright scary to her. Outrageous.
Barack Obama had no idea that Rev. Jeremiah Wright was preaching hate to black separatists for 20 years. Sen. Obama finally threw Wright and the whole church under the bus a few weeks ago. Did Michelle?




MO and BO will bring on the thought police when/if they have their coronation, make no bones about it. The ultimate irony is that BO played the Big Brother card on HRC. The real Big Brother is BHO himself.

Neither of the Obamas threw or have thrown Jeremiah Wright under any multi-wheeled vehicle. They simply don’t go there anymore. They can return, though, when BHO’s defeated in November.
As to them being racist? Their actions, including that 20+ years in that racially divisive, unholy atmosphere for anyone else, especially a non-black person, would’ve been causes for crucifixion of such NBP by Obama, his worshippers and this shills in the news media as racists.
Thing is, he and they aren’t just racists based on the color of ones’s skin. They’re cultural, intellectual and social racists.
And no amount of BHO’s JacksonVille, Fla., b***s*** about accusing anyone who differs with him, votes against him, etc.–a coward’s cover if ever there was one–will change that.

To answer your question;
Simply put it: Hell yes Man, she is a full-blood garn dash black racist.

I think she is rather a black version of Leonsa Helmsley, a haughty shrew whose wealth/influence miraculously came to her, while she thinks that that happened because she was owed that and that - entitlement, and her hubby is not different, and they flaunt it. I’m kind of neutral about “affirmative action’ and I think that in many cases it really provided a basic point of start for some - however when some (not that edifying) products of affirmative action (and this is what the Obama-s actually are) compound their success with buffoonish displays of “nouveau rich”, that irritates me. Michelle goes on the same shelf with Leonsa and Arianne - and mr. Glibama himself is not fit for the US presidency.

Who are these right-wing racists who think they understand what Michelle went through in ther life. At Princeton, a her room mate had to change rooms just becos she didn’t want to live with a black woman. As a white, I’ve seen all the discrimination blacks go through even today not 1965 so, this article shows clearly how arrogant and out of touch the Reublican racists are!

The original website oo the Trinity United Church of Christ had VERY little Christ and his teaching and a lot of attitude toward WHITEY and the seperation from the white culture and commerce. It just may be that Michelle sends out the vibes that she is not friendly to us racially biased whitey bigots looking askance at the ‘black culture’ that embraces hate

You know what else gets me? Look at that quote from her thesis. Is that scholarly, research based writing? No, it’s not! It’s like she took her own diary and turned it in as a thesis. And Princeton let her graduate with that??!! Geez. I didn’t attend an ivy league school, but if I’d turned that in, I wouldn’t have passed. If you make an argument, you need to back it up with EVIDENCE! She just sat down and wrote “This is how I feel. The end.” And she calls that a thesis. Yeah, you’re so mistreated, Michelle. You turn in the biggest piece of garbage ever written as a thesis at an ivy league school and they pass you and give you a degree! You poor thing. What an awful life you have. Oh, please. Get some therapy for crying out loud because you’ve got some serious mental health issues.

When over 90% of African Americans are voting for Obama, it is definitely about race. All my friends and family said that they voted for Obama because he was black. Someone just daid to me yesterday that we MUST support our own. Our own?! Obama was never a part of the black community until he wanted to sun for the state senate. That is where Trinity came in…it was all political. Then when he didn’t need them anymore her throw them under the bus. It is getting pretty crowded under that bus now!

Just look at her facial expressions when she talks on TV. Anger, animosity, resentment, lack of self-confidence… it’s written all over her. This woman has a major axe to grind. It’s abvious. If they win in November, don’t be surprised if the White is repainted black.
