I was curious and checked Michelle’s senior thesis. Her topic is very interesting. Her manner of developing the ideas seems somewhat weak and thin. I did empathize with Michelle when she described feeling that she had not really felt a sense of belonging at Princeton, and was always on the periphery. It caused me to reflect more about the divide of race and how it can be bridged. The question of how university life affects the empathy of blacks toward less fortunate blacks, is certainly of importance.

Why does she take as a given that she can only be loyal to her own people by putting them above all other people? Doesn’t that assumption come across as a barrier that pushes away people who are not black? It seems that this way of thinking is a wall.

I am interested in ways that peoples can celebrate and share their differences, instead of always seeing them as a problem.
