The material below was sent to me by someone who regularly votes for the GOP candidate. The email was sent to hundreds of like-minded right-wingers in and around the Boston area. I happen to know the man from an unrelated job I had with him many years ago.
I am reprinting the email here. My only point in doing so is to throw some water in the faces of those Obama supporters and people leaning that way so they will wake up and realize that while Democrats might overlook some of these racial issues, angry white men and women on the other side of the political divide WILL NOT.
If anyone wants to read Michele Obama’s thesis for themselves and make up their own minds about her beliefs, here are links to all four sections of the PDF file:
Princeton Educated Blacks and the Black Community
——————————————————————————————
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.
Michelle Obama stated in her thesis that to “Whites at Princeton , it often seems as if, to them, she will always be Black first…” However, it was reported by a fellow black classmate, If those “Whites at Princeton ” really saw Michelle as one who always would “be Black first,” it seems that she gave them that impression.
Most alarming is Michele Obama’s use of the terms separationist and integrationist when describing the views of black people.
Mrs. Obama clearly identifies herself with a separationist� view of race.
By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as a result of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand the desperation of their situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an integrationist who is ignorant to their plight.
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.”
Michele Obama clearly has a chip on her shoulder.
Not only does she see separate black and white societies in America , but she elevates black over white in her world.
Here is another passage that is uncomfortable and ominous in meaning:
There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost.
What is Michelle Obama planning to do with her future resources if she’s first lady that will elevate black over white in America ?
The following passage appears to be a call to arms for affirmative action policies that could be the hallmark of an Obama administration.
Predominately white universities like Princeton are socially and academically designed to cater to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of their enrollments.
The conclusion of her thesis is alarming.
Michelle Obama’s poll of black alumni concludes that other black students at Princeton do not share her obsession with blackness. But rather than celebrate, she is horrified that black alumni identify with our common American culture more than they value the color of their skin. I hoped that these findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree of identification with whites as a result of the educational and occupational path that black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a certain level of identification with the black community However, these findings do not support this possibility.
Is it no wonder that most black alumni ignored her racist questionnaire? Only 89 students responded out of 400 who were asked for input.
Michelle Obama does not look into a crowd of Obama supporters and see Americans. She sees black people and white people eternally conflicted with one another.
The thesis provides a trove of Mrs. Obama’s thoughts and world view seen through a race-based prism.
This is a very divisive view for a potential first lady that would do untold damage to race relations in this country in a Barack Obama administration.
Michelle Obamai’s intellectually refined racism should give all Americans pause for deep concern.
Now maybe she’s changed, but she sure sounds like someone with an axe to grind with America . Will the press let Michelle get a free pass over her obviously racist comment about American whites? I am sure that it will. But it shouldn’t.
FYI:
I am definitely sick of the main stream media (MSM) feeding us all this crap about Obama being an agent of change.
Has anyone stopped to think what kind of change; really?
PS: We paid for her scholarship.

Wow this is the first time I’ve seen the above material. I was surprised at her “this is the fist time I’ve ever been proud to be an American” gaffe earlier this year. But the material in this blog post is amazing.
This info really needs to be circulated. Michelle Obama doesn’t get a pass on this. Only in the land of political correctness could someone turn in a paper with a thesis like this and it be considered critical writing. What a joke. America founded out of crime and hatred? She’s nuts.
What most upsets me is Michelle Obama’s “whites are ineradicably racist” remark. That’s not true. I wish it were, but it’s not. I’m glad someone exposed that comment because White voters need to see that the Obamas are only interested in White votes. The Obamas are not going to effectively represent Whites nor America if they are elected.

All of it is perspective from a group and an issue that has been hence forth ignored. I don’t know which comments from Wallace that you’re referring to, but your mentioning him implies what You already think about him. So you’re comparing him with a a child of his era’s Gross mistreatment and inequalities. Did you really think people wouldn’t have to definitively deal with it?

I say paranoid, because it’s just paranoia and guilt to automatically equate Dealing with the issue of race fairly, With some sort of comeupance on white people. That’s not going to happen. Don’t let your fear get the best of you. Just have the guts to face this elephant of an issue head on, fairly (seeing all sides), and for once and for all. The World is getting smaller, We MUST learn to get along and understand one another’s point of view better than we do now.

Thanks you for your comment. Given the type of discussion we are having about race in 2008, I think it will be Obama’s grandson’s son who might be ready to be the first American black president. There is just too much distrust and animosity based on old history infecting blacks and whites. That needs to be settled and put behind us. This conversation helps pave the way, but it is not the open door.

Lots more than 1% feel that way. It is sad, but true. And many more people lie to pollsters about how they are OK with race relations then boink the non-white candidates.
The GOP with proverbially tar and feather BO. They must have some other torture planned for Hillary. They will both suffer, trust me.
Figure 25% of white voters are still active racists and the rest are hiding behind their religions.
Sorry it is that way.

What strikes me most about the thesis as someone who supervises theses, is how personal it seems to be. I have let one person write about himself–he’s in his 80s and getting an MA and telling about his life in the context of a bigger history. But to have a 22 year old write about herself seems a little narcissistic. It seems immature at worst.

They’re only getting a free ride until the nomination. This will tear apart the Democrat’s chances, or they will win and tear apart America.
This is just the tip of radicals Obama associates with, and they aren’t for the type of peaceful, informed change Obama goes on and on about. Anybody can see there is a Trojan horse wrapped up in his nice words. People are so desparate for change though, his chants are mesmorizing.

If you don’t like Obama, making stuff up about him like this makes it look like there isn’t enough awful stuff that he really does endorse. Me, I have no problem finding lots of the latter.

The post is called, “Here’s what the far right is saying. . .” It is not called, “Here’s what Rake Morgan is saying. . . .”
My point in posting this was to show Dems the attack points that the far right will use against Obama, true or false. Turns out, this is exactly what they are doing and you can expect more in the future, true or false.
Even though you misinterpreted the post, I appreciate your comment and the link.

We don’t know what Michelle Obama wrote in her thesis because Princeton pulled it from their library for the duration of the election. Very disingenuous and foolish. Therefore, I think it is fair that the “far right” question why this occurred and whether or not the Obama’s hold racist views. After all, political candidates do not operate in a vacuum independent of their families and racism is unacceptable regardless of who engages in it.
Perhaps equally despicable, Rake, is your attempt to throw the “far right” under the bus by presenting a negative story about the Obama’s, to the political gain of your buddy, then hiding by essentially saying, “I didn’t say it, those rat bastards of the ‘far right’ did. ”
Post this if you’ve got the guts.

Please, say what you will. The only comments I moderate here contain obcenities or racial/ethnic slurs.
You can still read a copy of Mrs. Obama’s thesis at the Hillary Clinton Quarterly. We provide the full text of the document as a PDF file.
Finally, the point in making this post was to warn Democrats of the attacks the far right would make against the Obamas if Barack became the nominee. My hope was that the Dems would see that Hillary was the less vulnerable candidate. Now that this is no longer an issue, what we are seeing is the ramping up of the race issue in the general election campaign. And Mrs. Obama’s thesis will be a target.
Thanks for your comment!
