    Michelle Obama's senior year thesis at Princeton University, obtained from the campaign by Politico, shows a document written by a young woman grappling with a society in which a black Princeton alumnus might only be allowed to remain "on the periphery." Read the full thesis here:

    The eruption of outrage, shock and fear that is flowing over Barack Obama’s campaign like hot lava because his pastor has preached some strident sermons tells us one thing for certain: Many white people don’t know black people at all. If they did, they would know that Rev. Jeremiah Wright of Chicago is hardly the only black minister who uses the pulpit to rant against racial duplicity and injustice. The black church has always been the place for letting our hair down and speaking our peace -- a safe haven from the criminations outside. It’s how and why the black...

    Advocacy group gives governor a D and lawmakers a C- for latest legislation. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger gets a D and the state Legislature a C-minus when it comes to supporting bills that bridge California's racial divide, according to a report card put out by an advocacy group Tuesday.Despite the governor's pledge to represent all Californians, authors of the 2006 racial equity report card gave him poor marks for vetoing bills to provide universal health insurance and allow separate textbooks for English learners. The Governor's Office called the report flawed.The report card called "Facing Race" was compiled by the Applied Research...

    The achievement gap between minority and white students has long been a stain on the bright mosaic of culturally and racially diverse school districts.From North Jersey to Cleveland to San Diego, whites as a group generally score considerably better on standardized tests than their minority peers. Whites also tend to enroll in more honors classes, while minorities are more prevalent in remedial courses.Now, one Bergen County district is introducing a sweeping concept that it hopes will bridge its gap by addressing a wide range of possible roadblocks to academic success.The initiative includes dozens of ideas. Some are in the talking...

    The linked source site is a thread I started here back before the elections on 9/3/2003 after David Horowitz and Michells Malkin and others exposed on National TV the racist/subversive nature of the "MECHA" organization as evidenced by their hate filled website. Almost immediately MECHA responded by replacing their Marxist diatribes and hate literature and "manifestos" with a plain blank white page on their many sites all around the country. I just checked and more then two months later the sites are mostly all still blank! Wow! If a little light is all it takes to keep these cockroaches hiding...

    Since Michelle Malkin and others have been examining the racist hate group "MECHA" and pointing to their flagship website MECHA.ORG as plain and clear evidence of their hate and violent tendencies MECHA has restricted access to the content of the site by replacing the hate filled blogs and diatribes with a plain blank page. No errors. No redirects. Just nothing. That site has been available online continuously for a long time and for this to happen at this time when for the first time in a LONG time (like forever?) when the spotlight is turned on their true nature -...

    California gubernatorial candidate Cruz Bustamante remains steadfast in his refusal to denounce MEChA, which he joined as a university student. For anybody who is still wondering why this is such a big deal, herewith are key quotes from MEChA's founding document El Plan Espiritual de Aztlán (cited by many MEChA university chapters as being "fundmental" to the organization) juxtaposed with the Nazi Party's founding platform ("The Twenty-Five Points", which were first read in public by Adolf Hitler on Feb. 24, 1920) Twenty-Five Points: 4. None but members of the nation may be citizens of the State. None but those of...
