During her third and final year at Harvard Law School, first lady Michelle Obama — then named Michelle Robinson — penned an article for the newsletter of Harvard’s Black Law Students Association (BLSA), arguing that Harvard and its students were perpetuating “racist and sexist stereotypes” by not intentionally hiring minority and female law professors on the basis of their sex or skin color.

The 1988 essay, titled “Minority and Women Law Professors: A Comparison of Teaching Styles,” ran in a special edition of the BLSA Memo. The future first lady justified her demands for more black and female law school faculty by attacking the “traditional model,” in which law students were educated through the Socratic method.

She also opposed the traditional meritocratic hiring principle, where professors with better legal pedigrees were more often hired, arguing that it limited the success of women and blacks.

Well, Mrs. Robinson why don’t you answer this. What happens when you hire a black and they can’t cut the mustard. Do you just keep the inferior worker on the job to have goodie feelings about hiring an OF COLOR PERSON or do man up and tell them the real truth so maybe they will improve in the future. I know what you and jessie would do. And it’s one of the main problems why these people don’t improve.

But once you hire em, you can't fire em unless you are ready for a major race based lawsuit.

Yes we can attribute it to Marx and Cone. But to sum it up, they don’t believe in working for and earning something. They think that everyone has equal intelligence and equal drive so everyone should get the same grades in school, everyone should get the same pay (except the elites who run things).
Btw Marx never worked a day in his life, Engels who was born into money helped support Marx.

Time to remove all race-based policy from the law, including civil and employment suits. Enough is enough.

Once a bigot...always a bigot.

**What we have learned over this year is that hope is making a comeback. It is making a comeback. And let me tell you something -- for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment. I've seen people who are hungry to be unified around some basic common issues, and it's made me proud.
