People are like diamonds. They have many facets.
You claimed...

So I asked...
>Cite?
And since you didn't respond immediately, I went hunting to see what I
could find. I discovered (much to my unsurprise) that you have no idea
what the Paper in question actually says, since it is currently
unavailable to the public. I was able to find some excerpts with a few
comments, all of which I am quoting here:
:In her 1985 Princeton senior thesis, "Princeton-Educated Blacks and the
:Black Community," Michelle LaVaughn Robinson lamented that white
:professors and classmates always saw her as "Black first and a student
:second."
:She had surveyed alumni to see whether they sacrificed their commitment
:to other blacks on the altar of success, and foresaw for herself an
:uneasy future: "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."...
:As Michelle Obama wrote in her thesis introduction, "My experiences at
:Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'Blackness' than ever before.
: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."...
:Michelle Obama was guided in her choice of thesis topic by a consuming
:concern that her success might compromise her black identity. As she
:wrote in her conclusion:
:"I wondered whether or not my education at Princeton would affect my
:identification with the Black community. 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."...
:Michelle Obama's fears of losing touch with her roots without ever being
:embraced into the mainstream led her to promise, in her thesis
:introduction, "to actively utilize my resources to benefit the Black
:community."
So while you *could* be right, I suppose, that somewhere in her Thesis
(that none of us can read in full at this point) she may have suggested
that "all whites are racist and the US was founded on hate and a criminal
act", you don't really know that. Because you have an agenda, you're
extrapolating beyond all hope of being believed by anyone with an IQ over
25. That's pretty pathetic.
And as an aside, I wish it wasn't unavailable. The people who are going to
find in it proof that the Baracks are anti-Christs are already convinced
of that anyway. For the rest of us, it would be little more than
interesting reading. She did, after all, write this Thesis over two
decades ago, so anyone over 12 would recognize that her experiences since
that time would have expanded and/or changed her views.
