Today, the White House defended its decision to host rapper Common despite more opposition from the New Jersey State Police. The show will go on.
But some Americans (including myself) have asked what was Michelle Obama thinking inviting a woman-bashing, cop-hating, Bush-burning, Black Panther sympathizing rapper to a poetry reading at the White House? It's a fair question since we are paying her husband's salary and housing the family until at least 2012.
Michelle has left us a written record of her feelings, thoughts and philosophy from her early days as a student at Princeton. Perhaps revisiting the First Lady's thesis may yield some answers into her obvious psychological need to expose not only her own daughters to violent-sexualized rap lyrics but other local children as well.
Mrs. Obama wrote "Princeton Educated Blacks and the Black Community" in 1985 when gangsta rap was just beginning its very lucrative rise into the mainstream. At the same time a highly rated sitcom centered on an upper middle-class African-American family living in New York City. The Cosby Show which premiered in 1984 rarely dealt with race issues or the contemporary black experience. Gangsta rap and The Cosby Show occurring around the same time surely reflected a burgeoning identity crisis for African-Americans.

Good, now the Michelle explained it, I feel a whole lot better now. (sarc)
That excerpt is from an Ivy League thesis?
It wouldn’t pass muster as a high school essay when I went to school. How pathetic.
Keep up Queen Moochelle. Everyday you head off to radical town, you help solidify a moderate vote against your man reelection.
It's a long, psychic journey from south side Chicago to the Ivy Leagues and Mrs. Obama’s final paper at Princeton reveals a race-obsessed young woman.
These experiences have made it apparent to me that the path I have chosen to follow by attending Princeton will likely lead to my 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. This realization has presently made my goals to actively utilize my resources to benefit the Black community more desirable.
At the same time, however, it is conceivable that my four years of exposure to a predominately [sic] White, Ivy League University has instilled within me certain conservative values. For example, as I enter my final year at Princeton, I find myself striving for many of the same goals as my White classmates- acceptance to a prestigious graduate or professional school or a high paying position in a successful corporation.
Stokely Carmichael and Charles Hamilton's (1967) developed definition of separationism in their discussion of Black Power which guided me in the formulation and use of this concept in the study.The concept of Black Power rests on the fundamental premise: Before a group can enter the open society, it must close ranks. By this we mean that group solidarity is necessary before a group can operate effectively from a bargaining position of strength in a pluralistic society.’
I began this study questioning my own attitudes as a future alumnus. I wondered whether or not my education at Princeton would affect my identification with the Black community.”
Huh? What kind of semi-illiterate nonsense is this? On a senior’s “final” paper? From a supposed Ivy-League educated “lawyer”?
The bottom line: “Screw Whitey.”
She is an Oreo and scared to death the black community will “dumb her”
This is really bad writing.
she sure didn’t get admitted to Princeton based on her writing skills!
My 8th grade english teacher would have smeared red ink all over that!
“Dumb[ing] her would be REAL hard to do. The Mariana trench as a finite depth.
same here
the racism is not from many in the black commiunity but from the elitists in this admin.
MO is certainly a racist and now looks at her and her husband positions as payback to whitey .
AG has been so racist and yet this media will not go after him nor will much of the right minus the hard working people like us.
As for MO worrying about positions, then remind me how many real jobs has this woman had and tell me MO exactly what grades did bozo get and how the hell did he get into collage and pay for these schools.
Being black or a minority today is clearly a step up if you want something or have been accused of something.
Of course there are those in the black community who are not like MO and the AG , good hard working folk like Allen West, Condi Rice etc
It is the AG and MO who gives those others a bad name and I for one would be so pissed off having the white elitist person or a black racist telling me I have to have affirmative action because I am too dumb to get a job or pass a test
I would not have accepted that kind of low quality of work from my home schooled son when he was in high school. He would have gotten the big, red DA. (Do Again)
Waste of money on that mindless beast,should of gave that college seat to somebody worthy.
And I thought the Clinton´s were screwy....
WTH I can't believe this came from a high school senior and I come from a town where most students did not speak English when starting the first grade. Sad.
This is the worst example of English grammar and sentence structure I’ve ever seen. From the first paragraph, from “These experiences to ‘’becoming a full participant’’ is about the longest run-on sentence I’ve ever read. And I’ll be damned just what in the world this convoluted bs is supposed to mean.
It's too bad, that with all her education & opportunities that she's been given, she has really missed the mark. I believe that she feels that she's attained her goal of being as good or better than the whites that she resents, but it just has not happened!!
It's a fact of life that what you truly are on the inside cannot be hidden from others, no matter what gown you put on or what fabulous hotel or resort you visit - you still take 'the real you' along!
