Under-performing schools should be targeted because they're under-performing, not because they've got a certain number of a certain demographic of students enrolled, IMO.
I agree that his writing is somewhat aggressive.

While it is indeed thought-provoking and makes some valid points, I don't care for his style of writing, because I think statements such as " First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known." where he loses a lot of credibility and just, IMO, furthers the divide. People in general need to stop seeing race as more than it is. |

Society is not indeed colorblind; I know you're black from your avatar.
However, I don't make any assumptions beyond that. I don't know if you identify as African descent. I don't know if you listen rap or you prefer classical music. All I know is that you're black.
I think people/animals will be prejudiced slightly, though. It just depends on how you let it shape your perception.

MICHELE OBAMA'S MILITANT RACISM REVEALED
[/IMG]
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 is 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 worldview 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 Obama'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.
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?"

Don't be upset about it, sorry. The snopes link simply addresses the fact that the thesis had been restricted. (It isn't any longer) The rest of the quote shouldn't be attributed to that snopes link and it looked like it was. Is the rest of the quote the body of an email you received or an actual published article?

If that were indeed truthful, I'd expect Michelle Obama to say something. I do believe in change and that people can change; 1985 was a long time ago, and I'm going to guess some of what I believe today may be different in 23 years
