Michelle Obama thesis was on racial divide

Race in Princeton Township, NJ

77.45% of people are white, 4.75% are black, 12.74% are asian, 0.13% are native american, and 5.17% claim 'Other'

.

The U.S. is 73.9% white and Princeton Township is 77.45% white. You guys think that's a big difference? Makes me really wonder if either of you got anything out of education beyond recess and lunch.

A extremely significant fact that many seem to forget.

Of course since the relationship as you imply it is on a 1:1 scale across the board.

However, being that I'M NOT A DEMOCRAT, your lame ### attempts to assume so are just that, lame. Nice try though.

Who cares about your third party wasted vote but luckily your votes never elect anyone so what's the harm, eh? Feel free to write me in for Prez. I'll appoint you head of the Federal Election Commission. Don't laugh I can rig the machines.

These machines have been growingly de-certified because it has been shown they can easily be tampered with, and with no backup paper trail to audit them, they are the first and second source, which makes no sense at all, of recounts.

Weren't you part of the crowd screaming about hanging chads and butterfly paper ballots in 2000? Let's just vote by a show of hands next time.

I'm a white person, I have nothing to be paranoid about, right?

Oh no, not you. You have more than enough paranoia to transcend race, gender, time and space.

Yeah, whatever, more accusal of Democrat garbage, and everyone who points out this country's flawed ### voting system and politically motivated attempts at underfunding areas to ensure they don't have enough voting machines (wonder why the crowds of black voters were standing out there for hours at a time in Ohio? it was all over TV -- of course not) is a conspiracy theorist.

Really doesn't matter if you're a Dem, Whig or Anti-Federalist. Most people would proudly proclaim they're Green or Libertarian or whatever but your paranoia and air of mystery is all you've got going for you. Are you the Green Hornet? If you can prove your assertions in court for example than you have standing; otherwise, you'll remain an another Internet nutball. There's never a completely free and fair election but the standard is if the abuse is so widespread and systematic when the election is null and void otherwise the election results stand.

Do you just like arguing for the sake of it or something? It just shows how personal you're trying to make this in that you've got to take a simple statement of fact and use it as a dig to suggest that "us guys" are somehow uneducated. I'll say this for you - you really don't pick your very battles well -

No wonder you like magicians. Misdirection, sleight-of-hand and illusions. Could you saw Michelle Obama in half for me?

Oh give over - all I said was that Princeton was a predominantly white, affluent area. I don't see why that's so controversial that you feel a need to try to disprove it - which I should add you have not really done - except play some "sleight-of-hand" of your own with national demographic statistics.

As I said - regional variations in population demographics can be quite illuminating, especially in NJ. But again - that's nothing particularly controversial about that (unless of course you're just disagreeing for the sake of disagreement).

It doesn't matter what university you go...it doesn't matter what corner of the earth you live...racial devide/racism always exist...some people use their colors...but even people with the same color still hate each other. Until people learned not to hate each other or pre-judge each other they would be no solution in racism. So if you are white and bad mouth your fellow white man is not racial comments, but if you bad mouth other color it is a racial comments...what is that tell you? Race should not be used at all if someone disagree with you or call you names. What happen to the free speech? Just like black they call each other ni$#% but its ok, as soon you call them ni&^%$ man you can get killed just saying that word. So who is racist here?

Black American should make positive out of the negative. Let me xplain...yes! slavery is bad but, most of the black where would they be without slavery...for sure they are still in Africa and maybe starving to death...they should be thankfull their roots where sold to America to became slave and they sacrifice for their future. Black American should be proud as an American this is the only county that your dream can come true, try that in Africa dude???

Unlike you, I don't limit my options.

Feel free to write me in for Prez.

After Hugo Chavez.

How about a show of red herrings?

Oh no, not you. You have more than enough paranoia to transcend race, gender, time and space.

But it certainly does not transcend Captain Americas of the U.S.

Uh yeah, the best way idiots try and make their blind-following spoon-feeding selves feel better is no different than hard lined conspiracy theorists who refuse to believe rational things. Guess what, you're no different than a truther. The fact that these voting machines were shown to be vulnerable to people changing votes through simple Excel spreadsheet shows how votes can be tampered alone, and that they've been de-commissioned and continue to be, throughout the country, is no conspiracy theory. These machines go through scrutiny because there's very few things more important in this country than voting. Given the circumstances and how they happened, it's clear you're quite the extremist here, and rational people are doing something to stop disenfranchisement and reckless spending on voting machines that best serve the people by allowing someone to change votes. Yep, simple arguments for simple folks. Way to do nothing to help the country.

Correction. It's been about 2,789 times since my last count.

Funny how people from abroad, excluding #6 and co, seem to comprehend and understand this point. Reality that is.

If Michelle's ancestors had not been brought to America, regardless of the circumstances, what chance out of 200,000,000 would she have of even seeing Princeton, let aloe attending?

Zero

Zilch

Too many people taking the wrong pill here..

Its easy to be dismissive when you're ignorant.

But sure, why not... Lets generalise across an entire population of people because clearly you lot have your finger on the pulse of what its like to walk in other people's shoes.

I don't take any pills. Well, no, I do take advil if I have a headache. I really don't like headaches and am eternally grateful I didn't inherit the 'migraine' gene from my dad.
