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?
