Spengler writes about Michelle Obama's apology for a "senior thesis". More damningly, he quotes from it. Sic, sic, sic, all the way:

"[A] separationist is more likely to have a realistic impression of the plight of the Black lower class because of the likelihood that a separationist is more closely associated with the Black lower class than are integrationist [sic]. By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as a result of their ideologies, a separationist [sic] may better understand the desparation [sic] of their [sic] situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an integrationist who is ignorant to [sic] their plight."

Michelle did not imagine the contempt with which the white liberal professors of Princeton regarded black students, for the above passage was preserved in the final version of the thesis stored by the university, errors and all.

[...]

Her "hopelessness", "frustration" and "disappointment" remain, exacerbated by guilt over her own success. That is not speculation, but a precis of her own account. One might speculate that the guilt became all the more poignant to the extent her success was unearned. Michelle Obama's employer, The University of Chicago Hospitals, paid her $121,910, a reasonable sum for the skill level evident in her thesis, but raised this to $316,952 shortly after her husband was elected US senator.

My emphasis. Spengler has gone soft. $121,910 is not a reasonable sum for the "skill level evident in her thesis". A reasonable sum would be zero. In fact, you would have to pay me to read it.

Race aside, there are parallels between the Obamas and the Blairs as they once were. The men are good-looking, but all style and no substance. They capitalise on a desire for "change", as if "change" were enough. "Things can only get better," sang Blair ten years ago. They got worse. As for the women, Cherie Booth was also from a deprived background, but she hasn't exploited it. Foolish in many ways, she is genuinely intelligent in her own field, and her career success owes nothing to "affirmative action". Michelle Obama, in contrast, is an idiot, who cannot write a sentence or think beyond the platitudes of imagined grievances. Made to "feel good about herself" by indulgent schools, colleges and employers, she is completely unaware of her own mediocrity. Were she not black, more people would say so.
