“My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘Blackness’ than ever before,” she wrote in the introduction to her sociology thesis, “Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community.” “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 didn’t belong.”
‘A reader in the know informs me that Michelle Obama’s thesis, “Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community,” is unavailable until November 5,2008’
That’s correct, here it is from the horse’s, er, mouth:

Shameful! A whole lot of pressure should be brought to bear on Princeton. After all, Michelle is sure to exert a lot of influence on O-bomber, the American people deserve to understand her views on things...
Regardless, suppression of knowledge is SURELY at odds with the principles of an institution of higher learning like Princeton...isn’t it?
Well..it looks like the WP has the thesis and is obviously sitting on it until after the election!!
“Is she a PhD?”
THIS IS ONE TO HOUND HER ON TILL ................
Mrs. Esopman
Robinson, Michelle LaVaughn (1985): Princeton Educated Blacks and the Black Community [Restricted until November 5, 2008].
I think its 'I resemble' that remark.
Heard Groucho Marx say it in one of his movies from the early 1930s.

Princeton and Harvard both have a lot of undergrads who write a “thesis” (at Harvard it is usually required for an honors degree - I’m not sure about Princeton). It’s not at all what one would think of as like a doctoral thesis of course, but it is supposed to be a significant piece of research. At Harvard they were usually 60 - 120 pp. depending upon the field and the topic. Much more substantial than a course term paper but not like what’ required for a doctoral degree....
Michelle, welcome to REAL LIFE. How do you think I felt when I did consulting work for Japan Airlines a few years back?
The best you can expect from the "other" is tolerance and cooperation. Michelle is just another "ethnic" with a chip on her shoulder about being outnumbered. We are ALL a minority somewhere Shelly baby, deal with it.
With this one, it’s always about race.
I think Michelle has some pathological mental problems. Example: Her whining about how many times she was told NO throughout her life (I think it was 3 times to be exact) as an indictment on life in racist America. Why do Libs think they should always hear Yes? Only spoiled brats think like that. I got news for her - we all hear No throughout our lives. Grow Up, woman. It has nothing to do with race or gender any more. Her statement about “If you are lucky enough to have a job in this country...” Good grief! This is one twofer we have to pass by. Barak may be an empty suit, but hers is filled with anger and contempt.

‘Right, another poster linked to the reference for her “Senior Thesis.”’
Sadly, even the brief fragment already leaked contains an error: “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 didn’t belong.”
should of course be
“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.”
I’m sure her grasp of other subjects is equally robust.
In fact, she didn’t belong there. ;-)
Oh, for crying out loud. Well, at least NOW she’s proud of her country.
Ha ha ha.....maybe it full of errors and is an embarrassment to Princeton. LOL!

Not very likely. Unless a thesis is pretty important it rarely is located anywhere but the library where the PhD was granted.
I’m guessing this was a less-than-memorable work...
