I will get no star for saying this. I actually dozed off sitting up midway through the second page. Since I have read ten pages of Michelle Obama's thesis, I have to say that it was a bit boring as well. Typical undergraduate writing trying to masquerade as a something worthy of a sociology journal, with too many semicolons wrongly used.
I was amazed earlier when Christopher Hitchens found it was worth writing about and read all sorts of sinister nonsense into it. There is no smoking gun of hatred towards white people in it. There is no militant black power stance.
The third page of Madden's article was mildly more interesting. My, some of those religious nuts are imagininative, aren't they? I actually live among some people like that. They think that I am terribly weird and un-American. I believe in welfare, abortion rights, and hate sermons. I am white. I was reared Baptist in my early years. Just imagine how horrified they would be if I was brought up on the "exotic" island of Hawaii.
