I think it is about something more than mere race animus. I think it is an intellectual groping for a rationalization for overthrowing the system.

The level of intellectual rigor in the exercise is pathetic but its purpose is only to provide a fig leaf for doing what Obama had been doing on a small scale as a community organizer and is trying now to do on a grand scale as chief executive:

the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change.

The left is always seeking a new rationalization to justify junking the system. In this case it's racism. Sometimes it's misogyny. But it can be virtually anything. The incident with Rush Limbaugh demonstrates that the gravamen of the alleged injustice need not be serious or genuine to serve the purpose.

The left will also try to change the venue and its strivings to junk the system. That is why it seeks to overrule the state at the federal level and the federal government in the United Nations.

I find it repugnant to my sense of decency that Harvard University would host this pseudo-intellectual endeavor on so many levels both in its law school and elsewhere. Can you imagine Harvard affording equal scope to a professor who argues that blacks should be control because they are violent and inferior? Why is one perspective inherently better or worse than the other? If Harvard lives in a world where subjectivism rules, why is a black man's critical race theory valid and a white racist's supremacy theory reprehensible?

Once one trades intellectual rigor for political correctness and subjectivism, there is no right or wrong, in fact there is no true or false. This is precisely the place that The Frankfurt School intended for our entire educational system to go and it has succeeded brilliantly in taking it there.

Once this dismal philosophical nihilism becomes the rule, the Constitution means nothing, reason means nothing, and the path is made straight for intellectual, moral, and political disintegration and ultimately totalitarianism.

Nathan I realize your post here was written a couple weeks ago but is very interestig in light of the Zimmerman case so many are following. I've only begun reading this thread ...but found it so informative I'm bumping it up again for others perhaps to take note.

Thank you so much for such a great post.
