Did her father tell her she only got lucky or didn't build that herself? She ONLY got in because of who she is. Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool.
The fact that you and others claim that as some sort of fact, without seeing her academic transcripts, is as ignorant as it gets. Being a minority and the POTUS' daughter and being smart enough to get into an Ivy League are NOT mutually exclusive, as much as some of you archaic thinkers believe.
Did her father tell her she only got lucky or didn't build that herself?
That's Obama's implicit message to his daughter, given his Commencement speech at Howard University:
"That's a pet peeve of mine: People who have been successful and don’t realize they've been lucky. That God may have blessed them; it wasn’t nothing you did."
And when c-d posters agreewith Obama that Malia getting admitted to Harvard is "nothing she did" and that it was just luck, the usual Obamabots throw a race-baiting temper tantrum.
Can you imagine having a father who thought you did nothing to earn that Harvard admission? That you were just "lucky?" That's deplorable.
Yeah, I'm sure that admission was entirely merit-based.
I can see through that sarcastic remark. The rolling eyes gives it away. It is a subtle allusion to affirmative action. Why would anyone assume Malia Obama got into Harvard under affirmative action, other than being Black?
Race was brought into, but not in a direct way. It was brought up in a subtle, sarcastic way.
Did her father tell her she only got lucky or didn't build that herself? She ONLY got in because of who she is. Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool.
Her father didn't say a word about her getting lucky. In fact, her father has said nothing at all about his daughter going to Harvard.
And if she got in because of who she is, answer this. Who is she, according to you, that would aid her in getting in to Harvard?
They (liberals) always do. It's their only way to put their point across.
They toss the race card at any and all opportunities...
Yet, you toss it back with your comment:

This 'entire' thread isn't all about SKIN COLOR - it's about the first child getting into Harvard BECAUSE she's the first child... News Flash: yes, she's black..... it isn't about her getting in because she's black - it's about her getting in because she's the first child... Yes, there were people talking about how some minorities get in with lower requirements - that's been going on since the development of EEOC... Eventual Elimination Of Caucasians... that IS what it stands for, isn't it?
We know that Michelle Obama entered Princeton due to affirmative action. Why would anyone assume that her daughter entered Harvard strictly on merit?
Prove that she got in based on affirmative action. Do you know her SAT/ACT scores? Her grades? If not, I do not recommend making such nasty assumptions.
