Michelle Obama's shameful chapter in black history:
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2311As Byron York assessed in a
separate article:
The most profound influence in his life, his wife Michelle, is notoriously less circumspect than her careful husband about where she's coming from. Her college thesis, which Princeton tried to keep under lock and key, testifies to a race-obsessed worldview. She may have refined it, but she's never grown out of it.
After four years at one of America's most esteemed academic institutions, Michelle recoiled at the thought of "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." That the sky has been the limit for her, that she has managed to ride the "periphery" from Princeton to Harvard Law School, to one of the country's top law firms, and to a plethora of prestigious institutional positions, has not much altered her perspective. Through the windows of her mansion on Chicago's south side, American society still appears as a caste system.
The United States, she says, is "just downright mean." Never, prior to her husband's presidential run, had she had a reason to feel proud of it, she told a campaign throng. But by last November, with Barack's pursuit of the brass ring catching momentum, she suddenly got plenty proud. And confident: so much so that she was moved to tell MSNBC, "Black America will wake up and get it" -- unite and carry him over the finish line.
It reminds me of
Buchanan's assessment of William Ayers and the radical Left of the 60's generation. That despite living as the wealthiest and most entitled generation in history, managed to convince themselves they were living in an intolerable hell.
Apparently there is no level of conciliation from the mainstream of America that will ever sooth Ms. Obama's rage --or black america's as a whole.
