Derrick Bell: The Jeremiah Wright Of Harvard
IBD Editorials ^ | March 8, 2012

Presidential Vetting: Obama's days at Harvard have been shrouded in secrecy. But a new video lifts a corner of the veil, revealing his creepy embrace of the "Jeremiah Wright of academia."

It turns out his favorite law professor was the late Derrick Bell, a black radical who taught classes trashing the Constitution as racist.

He liked Bell so much he led a law school "strike" in support of him in 1991, when the professor went on unpaid leave to protest the lack of affirmative-action hiring on campus.

A video clip posted by Breitbart.com captures Obama praising Bell for "speaking the truth" and hugging him.

Not long before this show of affection, Bell had been called into the university president's office to explain why he had sent him a letter filled with violent fantasies — including their own death from a bomb planted in his office by white racists. Bell explained that such extremism is what it would take to get the administration to agree to grant more affirmative-action programs.

Harvard's honcho wasn't amused. Bell groused he just didn't get it. But who would? Apparently his star pupil. And that's what's so unsettling.

Bell's nutty ideas — including that America is a "racist nation" carrying out a "quasi-genocide in the inner cities" — were well known to Obama. Bell came highly recommended by Obama's America-hating preacher Rev. Wright. He and Bell were pals. In fact, Obama just traded Wright's pews for Bell's desks.

If you haven’t gotten a chance to watch “The Space Traders” I highly recommend it. Its so absurd that its funny. Ronald Reagan is an evil alien overlord.

See 1990 interview with Thomas Sowell about Derrik Bell.

You’re known by the company you keep, and Obummer has sought out association with racists. Birds of a feather flock together. He hates whites, he hates the West, he hates capitalism.

The man is a hater.

His {Bell} legal writings included this gem published in the Connecticut Law Review around the time Obama was defending him: "The whole (classical) liberal worldview of private rights and public sovereignty mediated by the rule of law needed to be exploded." Obama lapped it up. This was not some misguided youth flirting with radicalism. He was 30, and Harvard Law Review editor.

I wish one of these oh so brilliant types would show us ONE country where these ideas worked. One country. Any one. Even the Russians and Chinese are using some capitalism - they're tired of being poor...

Bell’s racist mentality which is delivered to black children in diversity, moves with those children out into live. It becomes the klan with a tan and attacks white people in the cities. It doused a white boy with gas and set him on fire in St. Louis last week.

It is not harmless by any means.
