The problems of being a black woman at an Ivy League university
Dinesh D'Souza considers the travails of Michelle Obama. This via Ace, objecting "Just because it's true doesn't mean it's nice to say."
One might expect that the reaction of someone who gets so many privileges to be grateful to a society that makes them possible. But no.
