Well, his grandmother was a typical white person. And in the kerfuffle between the black professor and the white policeman Obama was quick to note that the police acted stupidly. But hell, that is nothing more than the culmination of a young scholar's education and association with professorial race baiters.
The guy lived in and espoused a paradox. He claims that aggressive racial favoritism is required to right what he sees as the wrongs of the American past, while embracing the political party that institutionalized the wrongs of which he bases his theory, while at the same time, denigrating those of his own ethnicity who succeed without the racial favoritism he espouses (threats to his theory).
Furthermore, he talks of society and politics based on a white culture, but when one looks at the world history of black cultures, not a society or political system has progressed due to violence and corruption that is systemic within. So he actually is pulling a baseless theory out of his a** that only those with no or an aberrant education can embrace.
Bell also railed against the racism that motivated acts of white-on-black crime, lamenting that “even our lives … are threatened because of our color.”[7] That claim did not square with the fact that more than 90 percent of African American murder victims nationwide are actually killed by fellow blacks, but it made for a nice sound bite.
Is there anyone on Freerepublic that wouldn’t leap at the chance to vote for either Thomas Sowell or Col. West if either were running for president? Is there anyone here who wouldn’t count himself lucky to get such a chance? Is there anyone here who would even give a passing notice to the ethnicity of either man?
The battle is on.
No more "hope and change" fluff. Barrack Obama is allied with American-hating radicals and Marxists. Are you in?
I know quite a few leftists who would say yes to that, but I know quite a few more who would balk.
A vote for Obama is a vote to further tear down the America you grew up in and replace it with late sixties Eastern European style marxist state.
Are you in?
hmmmm......I wonder why?
What would these race baiters do if there had never been slavery in the US?
I despise these people. Obama included.
NO.
bookmark Derrick Bell “no credit” class, 1990 article
I wonder if Obama was a no-credit student in Bell’s “Civil Rights at the Crossroads” class.
My guess, YES.
Even if not, he no doubt got credit
for it anyway.
The Harvard Black Law Students Association (HBLSA) was founded in 1967. Today HBLSA is the largest chapter in the National Black Law Students Association. With well over 100 members, HBLSA is truly reflective of the diversity that exists within the Black community of Harvard Law School. HBLSA alumni range from Charles Ogletree, renowned legal scholar and our very own advisor, to Deval Patrick, Governor of Massachusetts, to Debra Lee, CEO of BET, to Barack and Michelle Obama, President and First Lady of the United States of America.

I found that Barack might not be the only Obama on the tapes.
In May 1988, Harvard Law students, borrowing from Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals,
and foreshadowing the Occupy movement of 2011, occupied the Harvard Law
School’s dean’s office. The students were supporting Professor Derrick
Bell’s demand that the law school hire professors on the basis of race.
One of the students “dressed in black” and occupying the dean’s
office appears to be Michelle Obama (Harvard Law ’88). Here is a link
to the grainy video. (lower right at about ten seconds in, wearing white Keds):

Students occupy Dean's office at Harvard Law School
1:00:17: Visual: Shots of Harvard Law students studying their textbooks as they occupy the Dean's office in the administration building of Harvard Law School. Most of the students are African American. Marcus Jones reports that 50 Harvard Law School students marched into the administration building in the afternoon; that most of the students are African American; that many of the students wore black as a show of solidarity.

Summary
David Boeri reports that a group of Harvard Law students occupied the Dean's office overnight to protest the lack of minority faculty at the school. Boeri notes that the students held a rally for their cause this morning. Boeri’s report includes footage of Charles Ogletree (Visiting Professor, Harvard Law School) addressing a rally of students outside of the school. Boeri notes that the sit-in is over for now and that student leaders met with James Vorenberg (Dean, Harvard Law School) to discuss their demands for an increase in minority faculty members. Boeri interviews Robert Wilkins (Harvard Black Law Students Association) about the meeting with the Dean.

Freedom to think at Harvard Law
THE WASHINGTON TIMES - Wednesday, JULY 17, 1991
Author: Eric Felten, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Dean Robert Clark was not about to see his Harvard Law School office be turned into the Columbia University president’s office of the 1990s. No cigar-smoking students with their feet up on his desk. So when student protesters staged sit-ins blocking his office lobby for the second time in a semester last fall, he cracked down.
The students were following the lead of Professor Derrick Bell , who has taken a leave of absence from the university until a black woman professor is appointed to the law school. Mr. Bell is protesting the school’s unwillingness to offer tenure to Anita Allen, a visiting professor from Georgetown University and a black woman.
“We took pictures of the students in the office so that we would know who they were, and [we] told them they were in clear violation of university rules,” Mr. Clark says. The students also were told that if they did not leave the office by the end of the day, they would be disciplined. They were sent letters saying such protests would not be tolerated in the future.
“They waited a little past the deadline, to show they weren’t intimidated,” Mr. Clark says. With a hint of mischief, he adds, “Maybe I shouldn’t say this - because I don’t want to encourage them to try it again - but they haven’t been back.”

Anita LaFrance Allen-Castellito (born March 24, 1953)[1] is the Henry R. Silverman Professor of Law and professor of philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She is also a senior fellow in the bioethics department of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, a collaborating faculty member in African studies, and an affiliated faculty member in the women’s studies program. In 2010 President Barack Obama named Allen to the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. She is a Hastings Center Fellow.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Obama
Robinson majored in sociology and minored in African American studies and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in 1985.[4][25] She earned her Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Harvard Law School in 1988.[26] At Harvard she participated in demonstrations advocating the hiring of professors who were members of minorities[27] and worked for the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau, assisting low-income tenants with housing cases.[28]
Too grainy to say. And that woman is shorter than MO.
But, really, if there'd been a racial protest in HLS when Michelle was there the real surprise would be if she didn't participate.

And, those feet are huge. ;)
Good find!
Is she tall enough? feet big enough?
Your links demonstrate and add to the overwhelming evidence we have that Obama’s radical ties are unbroken to this day.
LucyT: Ping to thread and posts
The average moderate won’t get it. This is all too esoteric for them
There’s something fishy about this. The video was hidden during ‘08, but then shown publicly to a room full of people shortly after Professor Bell died. I’m betting this is some sort of strategy on zero’s part. This criticism of Bell is going to backfire.
You can make the same statement about any country on this planet.....Every race or nationality has an inherent bias for their own...That's just human nature.
