Thoughts of HoMan

I find it intersting that not one person in media, news or any faction of information has brought to light the complete thoughts of the "doomsday" couple...The Obamas...

Here is just a few inserts from the race riddled thesis from Mrs. Hussain Obama...

The 1985 thesis provides a trove of Michelle Obama's thoughts as a young woman, with many of the paper's statements describing the student's world as seen through a race-based prism.

"My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'blackness' than ever before," the future Mrs. Obama wrote in her thesis introduction. "I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don't belong. Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second."

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."

In defining the concept of identification or the ability to identify with the black community," the Princeton student wrote, "I based my definition on the premise that there is a distinctive black culture very different from white culture." Other thesis statements specifically pointed to what was seen by the future Mrs. Obama as racially insensitive practices in a university system populated with mostly Caucasian educators and students: "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."

Perhaps one of the most germane subjects approached in the thesis is a section in which she conveyed views about political relations between black and white communities. She quotes the work of sociologists James Conyers and Walter Wallace, who discussed "integration of black official(s) into various aspects of politics" and notes "problems which face these black officials who must persuade the white community that they are above issues of race and that they are representing all people and not just black people," as opposed to creating "two separate social structures."

To research her thesis, the future Mrs. Obama sent an 18-question survey to a sampling of 400 black Princeton graduates, requesting the respondents define the amount of time and "comfort" level spent interacting with blacks and whites before they attended the school, as well as during and after their University years. Other questions dealt with their individual religious beliefs, living arrangements, careers, role models, economic status, and thoughts about lower class blacks. In addition, those surveyed were asked to choose whether they were more in line with a "separationist and/or pluralist" viewpoint or an "integrationist and/or assimilationist" ideology.

Just under 90 alums responded to the questionnaires (for a response rate of approximately 22 percent) and the conclusions were not what she expected. "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."

Not sure about anyone else...but again..

Michelle Obama reminds me so much of Hillary. If her sorry BLEEP husband does get elected then I recon she will have the experience to be president just as Hillary says she did!

yahyamoro you are one racist person who needs to get outta Dodge and go back to the island from which you came and do without your freedom. As I said in the other blog, if there were a real black person running for office that was not a Muslim extremist and was worthy of the job they would have my vote.

I took some time to read the thesis. Thank you for providing it.

Well, I have to say that what I did read was not anything negative or bad. For example...when Mr's Obama writes, "My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'blackness' than ever before," it isn't implying anything negative. What it implies is that she felt out of place at a college that is large of a white student body. And I have to admit, I've felt out of place at certian places or functions as well. And it isn't a misplaced feeling.

Example: I went into the Central Market a week ago today. The one on Westheimer (sp?). Well, every place I went I had people asking "do you need some help?" Now, you may think that this is being polite. However, I was surrounded by dozens of white patrons...the people asking me if I needed never bothered to ask any of the other patrons.

Now, whereas I was not offended...it did stick in my mind...what was happening that is. It did make me aware that I was an oddity in the place.

This is, what I gathered from reading the thesis, Mr's Obama meant.

"...the people asking me if I needed never bothered to ask any of the other patrons."

Maybe you looked lost?

"It did make me aware that I was an oddity in the place."

I think the sight of a huge Black man carrying a fish would look a little odd anywhere! Don't you? HA!

You have a point my friend. Went today as a matter of fact. Had a HUGE hit...had to be a shark...fought it for 20 minutes before he broke my 75lb test. Took my best leader along with him. Man I wish I could have seen it...but I couldn't bring this one it. My arm is killing me.

I am just your normal kilt wearing Texans fan. Texan born and proud of it. I have varied opinions about many issues, as you might have already read. I do like a great discussion, some would call arguements...you say tomatoe, I say tomato. Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.
