Obama sycophant Soledad O'Brien got into a tussle with Joel Pollak of Breitbart.com and had her head handed to her as she tried desperately to dissuade viewers of the truth- that Barack Obama was heavily influenced by the radical Bell.
In her conversation with Pollak she at first appeared not to know what Critical Race Theory actually was while at the same time she was sure Pollak was wrong. From somewhere she came up with a definition that happened to be curiously similar to the one found in Wikipedia. Soon after the Wikipedia page for CRT was changed repeatedly and so often that it came under editorial lockdown.
TheDC also previously reported that an editorial lock was placed Monday on the Wikipedia article about Critical Race Theory itself, following a separate “edit war” which followed a CNN debate between O’Brien and a Breitbart.com editor. While O’Brien insisted on-air that Critical Race Theory was not a backlash against perceived “white supremacy,” the theory’s Wikipedia article mentioned white supremacy in two different sections — including a definition of Critical Race Theory from UCLA.
O'Brien was so flummoxed that she invited another liberal professor to attempt to rewrite history at CNN, which caught the eye of Skook.
There is nothing wrong with being a sycophantic fan of a writer, but the problem becomes apparent when the fan is passed off as an objective analyst; unfortunately, for Soledad, she was humiliated and became a laughingstock, along with her employer, the Obama Propaganda Bureau, CNN.CNN has now decided to do battle with the forces that have no reservations against calling the racist Derrick Bell, a racist, by rewriting or blunting the message of the racist mentor of President Obama and trying once again to repackage the vile message of racism under a pretense of scholarly circumlocution.
The story of our president and the endemic racism of his associates is ongoing with many surprises.
Michelle Malkin asked the question "What's the Matter with Soledad O'Brien?"
When viewers took to Twitter to pepper O'Brien with follow-up questions about critical race theory, the CNN star had a twit fit. She invited a liberal professor, Emory University's Dorothy Brown, on her television show to back her up and then lashed out: "See? That was our critical race theory 101. Stop tweeting me. We have moved on, people."Not so fast, sister.
Turns out that O'Brien, a Harvard grad, has a rather emotional connection to Bell. As documented at my new Twitter curation/aggregation site Twitchy.com, O'Brien tweeted that it was a "rough day" for her when Bell passed away last fall. She wrote that she had "just started re-reading" one of his books and mourned again: "RIP Prof. Bell." O'Brien also shared tributes to Bell from fellow Harvard prof and friend of Obama Charles Ogletree. That's the same Professor Ogletree who bragged that he "hid" the Obama/Bell video during the 2008 campaign.
O'Brien failed to disclose her pro-Bell bias to viewers before her segments.
O'Brien also failed to disclose that the liberal prof who denied on her show that critical race theory had aaaaaanything to do with bashing America as a white supremacy-ruled government actually wrote the exact opposite. In one of her own books, Brown asserted that the purpose of CRT was to "highlight the ways in which the law is not neutral and objective, but designed to support White supremacy and the subordination of people of color." Oops.
But this wasn't the first time O'Brien tried to shield her viewers from the truth. Far from it.
In January she flailed away at Newt Gingrich when Gingrich tied Saul Alinsky to Barack Obama.

Incidentally, that fellow from Breitbart Joel is married to a black woman.
Thanks Starman417.
“Incidentally, that fellow from Breitbart Joel is married to a black woman.”

Yes, married to a fellow Harvard grad who is MUCH brighter and better looking than Soledad and who is a patriot to boot.
Proof that going to Harvard does not make one intelligent.
Kind of cute but Soledeaf.
I missed the actual segment, but am told Pollack was asked "why he hates black people ?" LOL. Can anyone confirm ?
As the child of a interracial marriage, she probably has a ‘connection’ with Obama. The bottom line is that both she and Obama benefited tremendously by being from those mixed marriages. Why? Because Americans aren't generally racist and people have been motivated to help those they've seen as disadvantaged. So what happens? They turn into closet racists with a ‘payback’ attitude and hurt many people in the process.

“From somewhere she came up with a definition that happened to be curiously similar to the one found in Wikipedia.”
That was exactly what I thought. After watching Soledad go after Joel, I went to Wikipedia to find out what Critical Race Theory was all about. And what she said was almost word for word straight out of the first paragraph in Wikipedia, (which by the way was the typical academic-speak that sounds impressive but is totally inane.)
Yes. There was some washed up actor who asked that.

Tom Sowell had an excellent idea about why people like Bell come up with their cockamamie theories. Basically, many of them, like Bell, were faced with a future of being a nobody. That they couldn’t stand. Most academics want to be something. So they invent or propagate, like Bell, ridiculous things, like critical race theory, to make their mark in the world. The last thing people like Bell want is for racism to disappear. All traces of racism will never disappear, because all people are flawed human beings. All people...including the propagators of insanely stupid things like CRT.

Perhaps she’s an exception to the rule. I saw a video with her being given an award as the outstanding graduate of her naval training class. And from everything I’ve seen about her, she’s an outstanding American patriot and a true patriot (how many other Harvard graduates do you know who ENLIST in the navy to do national service?). She shares her husband’s conservative views and philosophy.
Not only is she a stand up person, she’s also gorgeous. Her husband is a lucky guy.
You are dead-on correct about exception to the rule. I think maybe only Berserkley has spewed out more radicals than Harvard...
OOPS! I forgot...Cornell.
