Ever Wonder How Obama Became President of the Harvard Law Review?
NYT ^ | February 6, 1990 | FOX BUTTERFIELD

Posted on 10/01/2010 10:04:29 PM PDT by aquila48

The Harvard Law Review, generally considered the most prestigious in the country, elected the first black president in its 104-year history today. The job is considered the highest student position at Harvard Law School. The new president of the Review is Barack Obama, a 28-year-old graduate of Columbia University who spent four years heading a community development program for poor blacks on Chicago's South Side before enrolling in law school. His late father, Barack Obama, was a finance minister in Kenya and his mother, Ann Dunham, is an American anthropologist now doing fieldwork in Indonesia. Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii. ''The fact that I've been elected shows a lot of progress,'' Mr. Obama said today in an interview. ''It's encouraging.

Affirmative action is similar to profiling. It is profiling that they are using against Arizona’s immigration law. Of course, all of this is a formula for getting what you want using the race card.

Obama gets things for doing nothing. Like his Nobel peace prize. The fix is in, with this creep.

"They seem to be saying that minority students just aren't capable of getting the requisite grades. That sounds rather racist to me."

First, they don't "seem to be" saying it, they are saying it. Period.

Second, "racist" implies, and requires, denigrating intent. It isn't racist if it's just a statement of fact that happens to make known a reality that is inconvenient to other-than-caucasians. Which it is. Facts cannot be racist, they're just facts.

The sole and entire purpose of "racial quotas" and "affirmative action" is to give hard-to-earn positions to people incapable of acquiring them through demonstrated merit. This breeds justifiable frustration and deserved resentment among those more qualified who get the shaft so truly racist bullsh*t can be jammed down their throats.

We will never be rid of actual racism in America until we do away, once and for all, with the immorally prejudicial, bigoted practices of "racial quotas" and "affirmative action."

Being a racist is wrong. Disliking an Eskimo because he got the job you earned just because he smells like blubber is completely normal, and not in the least bit racist.

Frigging Eskimos!

And it’s obvious he’s not ventured far
from that work ethic ... a lazy slug then
and now, only now, he’s a purposeful force
for evil and the destruction of the greatest
country on the face of the earth. How is he
worthy of one iota of foregiveness ?

“Affirmative action is similar to profiling.”

It’s not just similar, it’s blatant profiling.

Isn’t it interesting that groups want to be “discriminated toward” when it comes to receiving benefits, but don’t want to be “discriminated against” when one of their members behaves badly.

In other words - one member is “victimized”, the whole group is victimized. One member commits a crime, the whole group is absolved.

“You have to remember that for every one of me, there are hundreds or thousands of black students with at least equal talent who don’t get a chance,’’ he said, alluding to poverty or growing up in a drug environment.

BULLS**T.

You advanced through CORRUPTION Barry. You KNOW IT .

Most of us other poor souls - not those who voted for you - have a sense of honesty and integrity that you gave up on long ago... to advance(!). That’s how LOW you are bro. You broke in da head, you stay broke! You stay broke. There no try try. You stay broked bra.

And we KNOW IT.

Barry, those poor souls with out hope... they are BETTER and more deserving than you are. Best YOU can do is resign.

‘Cause you ain’t WORTHY homes. You dig? You one bugga broke in da head. You broke bro. You STAY broke. You no go. You stay broke. Aa?

(forgive the Hawaiian Pidgin, I speak that bastards loca language. Dat bastard, he stay broke a?)

~I never knew that Hawaiian pidgin would EVER do me so good. I have to thank God now, and I do. Thank you Lord(!), for delivering me from the corruption that lives and breathes in Hawaii now. God grant me the gratitude, the foresight, and the honesty to his Holy providence! He alone, through my parents, gave me the ability to see the difference between the light and the dark!

I KNOW what Hawaii, the DHOH is doing. I am a real witness. I am a real victim. They will NOT release to me... MY OWN BIRTH DOCUMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are breaking their own laws.... but Dr. Onaka of the DHOH does not care. I am a witness. Corruption and filth live under the guise of law. They are false. I am a witness to this fact.

Beware my FRiends. This fight is not imaginary. It is not merely a tale of centuries long past. We live it.

What have you?

Courage.

What have you to eat once courage fails you?

The bread of Christ, who says: “Believith in me, and you shall have ever lasting life.” Fear is the opposite of love, and love is GOD. Fear not.

Fearing not, victory is God’s. God’s victory is that of Freedom.

My Father, with his dying breath, taught me fear is the opposite of love. FEAR NOT. Love is the path forward.

We love freedom.

FEAR NOTHING.

I believe that previous FP posts have documented that the position was bought with Saudis money.
Harvard degrees are nothing more than high priced scholastic papers going to the highest bidder.
Anyone who respects an University that does not require final examines is foolish. Harvard is just a high priced scholastic paper mill, pure and simple!

I don’t know - but I’m willing to bet that before 1970 none.

When you find the answer, please pass it along.

About a year ago I checked the last seven presidents of the Harvard Law Review against the archived HLR online. NONE of them had published any articles in the HLR, although a couple were credited in footnotes with assistance (as Obama was).

Apparently the law student staff does not publish articles under their own names. The articles with named authors are usually written by well-known law professors.

Strongly suggest reading Shelby Steele’s book, “White Guilt.”

Steele, like Obama is from Cicago and half-Black. He was a student radical who has seen the the light... strongly!

Obama was the perfect MOLE; photogenic, bright enough but not too bright, spoke well, black, radical Left and no obvious criminal history. The Left & other Globalist Progressives have been looking for a tool like this for a Century and they ID’d BO early in his life, shepherded him, covered up for him, purging all records until the time was ripe to steal the Presidency. In the ‘08 election we saw both sides of this fraud come together, the mole could not have gotten elected w/o the set-up by both the Left and the right progressives. Only a crappy opponent like McCain with the help of a crappy prog president like GWB (got to destroy Free Markets to Save Free Markets + his last 4 years in office) and it finally took a manipulated financial collapse to get this dumb tool Obama elected. It was a total setup and the proof is the fact that we still donot have the records on this perv president...WHY NOT? If the Republican Party will not manage to fight we must take down both parties....destroy all RINOS ASAP!!
