Is Michelle Obama Racist?

Jody Morse
One of the main determining factors of any presidential election is the candidate's spouse. It is rumored that one of the main reasons that John Kerry did not win the presidential election four years ago was because people were not very fond of his wife. Many people are not very fond of Bill Clinton, which could ultimately hurt Hillary Rodham Clinton's chance of becoming the next United States president. However, many people are not very familiar with Michelle Obama, the wife of Barack Obama. Is it possible that this woman could be a racist?

Why Do People Believe Michelle Obama May Be Racist?

When Michelle Obama attended Princeton University, she wrote a thesis about racial division. Although the university claims that they will not, by any means, release the paper to the public until the presidential election is over due to the effects that they fear it may have on Obama's campaign, it can be found at this website for anyone to access. Keep in mind that it is likely that this may only be floating around the internet for a short period of time, as Princeton University is bound to find out that it has been posted. If you want to read it, it's probably best to check it out now.

As with everything else, people are going to perceive the thesis that Michelle Obama wrote in different ways. While one person may think that she was simply writing about inequality and injustice, there are others that may say that her words were very racist against white people. Others may simply think that she has a lot of pride for her race. In order to determine whether or not you think her words are racist, check the thesis out for yourself. I could tell you my own opinion of it but there is really no point because you will develop your own anyway.

Should Presidential Candidates Be Judged By Their Spouses?

Is it fair for Hillary Rodham Clinton to be judged by the actions that Bill Clinton made while he was in office? Is it fair for Barack Obama to be judged by the thesis that his wife wrote while she attended Princeton University? Do you think that she really thought that she would one day be married to a presidential candidate? Or is it possible that she was simply trying to bullshit a thesis for school so that she could receive a good grade, like many of us so often do? I will openly admit that I am not at all a supporter of Obama, but my decision is not based on what his wife wrote. It seems unfair for this paper that his wife wrote while she was in college to sway the opinions of voters. The same can be said of any presidential candidate.

Is Barack Obama himself racist? Once again, I will not judge or tell you what I think. However, if you want to read more about this possibility, be sure to check out this article, titled "Is Barack Obama a Racist or Guilty by Association" by Kim Linton.

    Mrs. Michelle Obama is not a racist. People still don't understand the system of racism/white supremacy. It is a system that was created by white people so they can survive and maintain power. Black people don't have power in this country even with a Black president. This country is controlled by major white owned corporations and wealthy elite white families. Black people and people of color are victim of this system. So her thesis is a point of view of victimization. White people, you guys rid the planet of this plague racism/white supremacy, which is a global system, so we can have justice for all.

    I don't believe Michelle is racist only because a lot people don't really understand where she is coming from.

    Michelle is not just a racist but she's a separatist too and a terrible person to have in the White House.

    Some snippets from her thesis ..

    "By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as a result of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand the desperation of their situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an integrationist who is ignorant to their plight".

    She mourns that she will face “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".

    How is the Tea Party racist when the Black Panthers Party is not?

    This cannot be true legally. I'd like to hear this ageument being made nationally.

    Sue the NAACP and Black Panther Party for not representing all people. The BPP were forcefully harrassing voters on election day, it doesn't get much worse then this.

    Saw this article today, it seems that Michelle Obama is trying to secure her future in the White House by saying the Tea Party is racist and teaming with the NAACP (National Association of Colored People to do so.

    First this is absurd, because the Tea Party core beliefs are lowering taxes and trying to get the governments attention to stop spending money we don't have......

    In addition, it's funny b/c there are non caucausions in the Tea Party, and here's what they have to say about it- search article titled: Black Conservative Tea Party Backers Take Heat

    Here's the article that really just didn't give me a great impression...it seems like Obama's only got one thing going for him to help him stay in the White House....and Michelle is doing anything she can to use it...this is very dispicable: search this article titled: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/12/naacp-considers-condemning-tea-party-racism/

    But as long as we are on this topic, I would like to see a law suit suing

    Racism is a by-product of multiculturalism. Racism cannot/does not exist in ethnically/culturally homogeneous nations. Racial nationalism is the ONLY cure for racism.

    Whites, do you think that by being all-tolerant and all-accepting you're going to eradicate racism? No, you'll just make yourself susceptible to becoming the underdog yourself - heck we ALREADY are the underdog in race relations. When we can't even defend our borders from illegal aliens without being called dumb Soviet slur words like "racist," how do you think it'll be when non-whites are the majority here (which will happen if we don't take off the rose-tinted glasses in time)? Do you think non-whites, who have proven the last 50 years that they view anti-racism as a one way street with only Whites needing to make any effort, care about anti-racism? Please . . . don't delude yourselves. Join me at Stormfront.

    Michelle Obama is indeed racist; it's because of people like her that I have now embraced White Nationalism. No one else looks out for the interests of us Whites.

  • lalala6/4/2010

  • Tuna Fish5/27/2010
