It's all black and white

I often find myself asking, "Why is this news?" And this is a perfect example.

So what if Michelle Obama wrote her senior thesis about how she rediscovered her Blackness? The "I'm black first, a student second" =BULL S**T. Get over your color-insecurity and quit blaming others for a supposed attitude you project onto them. This is an even bigger pile of crap:
Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to her "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."
Perhaps the your husband is running for President thing will lead her to retract that statement in a future piece. I'm sure she'll get a book deal, and not because she's black.

All I have to say is I wish I could have written a 96 page thesis on my white-ness. How absurd.

I bet a Princeton education got her further away from guns, drugs, hip-hop and legal unemployment. There are no way near the 45% unemployment of black males under 35 that was reported in Milwaukee. The jobs of dealing, prostitution, pimping and burglary just aren't reported income. Someone does them in every society, we just don't admit it in America.
