In the 1980s, no less. Imagine if this was your child who had to put up with this.
People all over this country live with this EVERY DAY. And every day, new groups get added to the list.

The only 'controversy' here is that children still suffer ignorant people like the woman cited above.

I believe the American public has the right to read it and ask those questions, don't you???

It has been released. Links have been posted here on CD. The thesis is sickening to read. Loaded with racial hate and bitterness.

From what I understood it was released for a while, and then they shut it down for whatever reason.

I do have to ask though, if she was writing from her OWN personal experiences, what does it matter what anyone else thinks?

We all know, some people will just say the usual stuff about being bitter, etc without actually trying to walk a mile in her shoes.

I'm still up in the air about it...I can see reasons why it should & shouldn't be re-released. I'm just not quite sure what will be gained from reading it, espically if people won't look at the whole picture.

The thesis can be found here

Corrupt government, conspiracy, new world order, no future.

Just click on the area in red labeled

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4. - PDF file

So far this thread seem to be a whole lot of nothing. And that's coming from someone who is not voting for Obama.

If your going to try to make this out to be some big issue. Please post what is objectionable from the thesis, And not just a single line but the surrounding words as well.

Otherwise we wind up with quotes such as Mrs. Obama believes "Whites are responsible for the failure of Blacks", when in reality the statement in the thesis is "According to the survey it was discovered that only 2.3% of respondents felt Whites were responsible for the failure of Blacks."

And please include the page number so we can look at the quote in complete context.

Well i had read this before and together with all her other statements and her being very angry and all of a sudden vanishing of the spotlight....is saying enough...If and i don't think Obama will ever be president...but just if....than I guess we will see so much of her because she is just trying to make it easier for Nobama....she was bad for his campaign so he through her under the bus, just like any one else ....

I doubt your neutrality.

But it is ok for you and the liberals here to judge John McCains divorces from 1977?

Double standards.

Now, once you have hate in your heart like Michelle Obama has for America and for whites it will never go away.

Her thesis should be front and center, afterall, we cannot allow someone who hates America, hates whites and blames all failures of the black community on whites to be in our WH.
