So basically, she bitches that Princeton is too white for her. She sets off to prove that while the blacks at Princeton are constantly in a very "white" environment, they still graduate with a strong sense of being a member of the "black" community. Her data did not support this hypothesis.

Perhaps because Princeton isn't that white. It's really stupid when you think about it. Of course there are going to be more white people there than where she came from. There are more white people in the US as a whole. She is segregating people in her mind. It's obvious that the other students didn't feel like they were in a white community.

I believe that this whole white/black community thing is stupid. If we are going to be a truly equal nation, then people need to stop fucking trying to associate with communities of different colors.

I find irony in the fact that Michelle clings to racial equality, but her thesis was trying to achieve the opposite. It seems almost too childish to be a thesis for such a prestigious school.

another thing i find very funny is that Obama is more white than black, by quite alot. his mother was completely white. so he is 50% white, then he is muslim about 43.5 and black only 6.5. yet he runs as a black. (note: he got financial aid from harvard for being african american, by law you have to be 12.5 percent black to recieve it lawfully)

You do realize Muslim isn't a race, right? And his father is full-Kenyan. In other words, saying he is 6.5% black is wrong.

sorry, i mean to say Arabic, i got confused, because he went to a muslim school. and the majority of arabs are muslims, so a little mistake on my end.
i dont care whether he is white or black or blue, im just stating something. it was just a interesting point. and his father is not 100% kenyan. his dad is a mix between arab and black. anyways, i dont care what color he is. i just find it interesting that he more white than black, but choose to run on black. which i personally think is politically briliant choice. gets the black vote, gets the liberal vote, and gets the sympathetic vote. i dont fault him.

i come from a country where i was a minority(1 to 14) and can associate with him, i guess, some what. please dont mistake what i said as being racist.


as for the comment on the black panthers things. yeah they were visually obstructing people, but think of it this way, so here comes an old couple, and 2 black guys are swinging billy clubs. they might get scared and just go home. and who else but the black panthers are doing this?

you realize that kenyan does not mean he hasto be black. do you geographically know where kenya is? i'll find some resources. i cant remember where i found it but i'll get it to you as soon as i do. (also note that i dont really care what he is, aslong as he govern well he could be a gay greek ninja for all i care)

I hate to sound like a dick, but where did you hear Barack Obama Sr. was mostly Arab? I searched for a bit and could find zero evidence on this. The closest thing I could find is that he is a Kenyan Muslim.
