I saw the title of this post and thought “Oh, they Michelle Obama and Sonia Sotomayor each other at Princeton, how neat.” But they didn’t! That didn’t stop Politico.com from attempting to draw on some connection. It also gave Ben Smith a chance to bring up old charges from the Democratic primary:
Foes of Michelle Obama (Princeton ‘85) sought to tie her most pointed recent comment on race – that her husband’s campaign made her proud of her country “for the first time” – back to that Princeton thesis, where Obama’s sense of aching racial exclusion came through powerfully.
For Sotomayor (Princeton ‘76), the words in question came from 2001, a single sentence on the final page of a speech that has emerged as an issue in her nomination: “I would hope that a wise Latina woman, with the richness of her experiences, would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,” she said. Politico.com
Huh? Now that’s a stretch even for Politico, but they were helped out by Crystal Nix Hines
. I guess Ben finds it shocking that that two women of color might have experienced racism attending a college or university in the 70s and 80s. What a Revelation!

they sound incredibly desperate…delusional, actually.
why do they feel threatened by strong women?

I was wondering how long it would take for before a link of this type was made. Predictable…typical…

Two self-confident women of color….it was too much for Politico to resist.
they can’t resist the hit job

Why do I get the feeling that I’m going to have to condition my heart to take 4 possibly 8 long years of the media acting like idiots??

I’ve got a hot tip for a lot of folks in this nation. If they spent time talking to women of color on predominately white campuses they would find that many of them have a similiar opinion on the subject of race.

Why is it that some white people, not all, but some refuse to understand or at least try to understand what it must have been like to be black in this country just afew decades ago. Yes things have improve, but racism is not gone. But I want people like this Ben fellow to open whatever mind and heart he has and think what have blacks had to be proud of this country for. Proud of being treated like second class citizens, in some area worse. Proud of going fighting for this country and when you got home you still dealt with the racism, proud of being killed, hanged, proud of your children being bombed to death in churches, blacks having to give up there seat on the bus to whites, 15 year old kid being dragged out of bed, beaten and killed because he had the nerve to whistle at a white woman,and that’s just one case that we know of, how many others happen that were hide under the sheets, there were no law because alot of times they were wearing those sheets, proud of your children going to terrible schools, while the white kids go to good schools, proud of not being able to vote, having waterhoses and dogs put on you as you try to fight for some rights to be treated like a human being. I could go on and on, but I think any sensible person gets the point. Don’t try to act like Blacks have always had reasons to be proud of this country. Just the things my Great Grandmother used to talk to her kids about what things were like. It is time to put to rest that comment that Michelle made, because I could understand it well. I remember when Cindy McCain stood before that crowd and said I have always been proud of my country. I would love to have told her, of course, you has always been white. Try walking a mile in my Great Grandmother, or any other black woman shoes.
