My bad, not a PhD it turns out, just an undergraduate thesis.

“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...”

This was an undergraduate “Senior Thesis”. So, I doubt any copies exist outside of Princeton and the Obamasama residence.

Unbelievable. This kind of tripe passes for “scholarship” at Princeton? Sounds more like a soliloquy from The Morning Show.

[The Right Stuff]

That is correct. The major part of the Senior year is spent in researching and writing the Senior thesis. They are then published, bound and a copy of each thesis is kept in the Princeton library. You are supposed to be able to have access to them.

“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.”

No wonder they want to keep it under wraps. There is a lot of honesty in that. No one will make a black feel "blacker" than a liberal will. Same goes for anyone who can be stereotyped into one of the traditional liberal Cult of Victimhood groups.

"If your face fits, we must point to it."

Two people who employ identity politics at the drop of a hat are using it against each other. Priceless!

>>Hillarys thesis disappeared for a while too as i recall.

Hillary’s never appeared, did it?

[auntdb215]

I have a question, how were her black professors and classmates toward her?

Another point. I went to a small private college where most students were in a way higher socioeconomic category (for lack of a better word), than I, I too felt at times like I did not belong, but not because of the color of my skin.
