In her senior thesis at Princeton, Michele Obama, the wife of Barack Obama stated that America was a nation founded on "crime and hatred". Moreover, she stated that whites in America were "ineradicably racist". The 1985 thesis, titled "Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community" was written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson.

She is a racist trained pig who hates America. And yes, this thesis is racist and she should be called on it in public to answer real questions about it.

We surely do not need a lady like this in our White House as she could do allot of damage to our country by just being there.

Like her hubby she is a divider and will divide us to no end.

I fail to see how she is elevating the black community over any other. Are we really THAT uncomfortable with minorities trying to assert their identity?

Having taken several African-American and Chicano courses, that type of language isn't uncommon. I don't see it as racist either. She is saying that her first priority is the black community. What's wrong with that? We all find ways of pigeonholing ourselves into society. I've heard several compelling arguments on my own campus which was founded by the Jewish community and 50% Jewish arguing that we are Jews first and Americans second and are horrified at the idea that others feel differently. It's a young person thing- at 22 or 24 or however old she was when she wrote that, she was still working out her identity and it played out in her thesis.

The big question is, would you all really want to be judged for something you wrote or said when you were in college? 25 years is a lifetime of change for Michelle.

This is truely sad to read. She needs to be asked in public about her separatist views. This is really sad, considering we just had MLK celebrations, and MLK truely believed in one American society, with eqaulity for all.
Both Barack and Michelle seem to have alot of baggage that show them as racist and separatist from their past, their personal associations, and from their writings.

I remember when I studied African History in college. I learned that what kept them, particularly the indiginous peoples in South Africa, in bondage and susceptible to colonization was the fact that there were so many factions within the groups, there was no unity. Michelle Obama doesn't seek unity either. She's angry, her thesis is only a glimmer. Maybe she's chilled out in her adult years, hope so, but that thesis and it's language makes perfect sense that she would embrace the Church she and Barack was married in and had their daughters baptized.

Obama's mother was a wild woman! She must have been a hoot. Having an affair with a married man (Barack's father), then not giving a hoot and marrying again only to have her parents raise her son? Dang!!! Thank goodness her parents were on solid ground and raised him right.

I know lots of angry blacks who I would call seperatists. They try to blame the white people for their failures instead of working together for racial harmony.

Farrakan is a good example of a seperatist. If you read his speeches and comments he is always blaming the "white devil". A lot of uneducated blacks are hung up on that ancient histroy like they could do something about something that happened 100 years or more ago.

I see Mrs Obama as a mad black woman who is an embarassment to her husband.

His mother was a white hippie s.lut, his daddy was a dead beat dad, his preacher is a nut and his wife is a bitter bytch.
