Scratching the Surface
depth of pride
[Michelle Obama’s senior year thesis at Princeton University] “Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community" 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. Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second.
Didja ever think, Michelle, that your feeling of “not belonging” might not have been due to the *black* thing?
Just, yanno, something to think about.
