As for me, Im keeping busy in Chicago. Im currently working at Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland here in Chicago, a small firm specializing in employment discrimination and voting rights/civil rights cases. Im also teaching a seminar on race and the law at the University of Chicago law school -- your casebook has been an invaluable reference guide for that.
The main reason Im writing to you, though, has to do with a book that Ive been writing, on again, off again, for the past two years. Originally, the book (called Dreams of My Father) was going to be a series of essays on issues of race and class, but as it has evolved its become a memoir of my family and my experiences as an organizer in Chicago...
Your name came to mind as somebody whose insight Ive always appreciated, so Ive enclosed an advanced readers edition of the book. If you have time to read it and think its worth of a plug, Id be thrilled...
Looks like all these past radical associations that Obummer and the Regime have worked very hard to scrub are starting to make their way into the daylight again. Great investigative work by the Breitbart people again. At least there are a few real journalists left.
Dreams from My Father is a beautifully written chronicle of a gifted young man marked and molded by a family whose love for him was as deep as its diversity was daunting. We hear in Barack Obamas soaring book that survival demands resilience in the face of frustrated expectations, and that ones committed opposition to the destructive tides of Americas obsession with color cultivates a vision of life that is nourished by struggle.
- Derrick Bell, author of Faces at the Bottom of the Well
The regime knows this guy is bad news as evidenced by their eliminating this from the reprint of the book. It also disproves the lie that Obummers radicalism was just a passing fad in college. He was active in this philosophy well after it.
So Obama was supposed to get past “America’s obsession with color”? When exactly did that happen— between Beer Summits?
bttt
Drip, drip, drip. Will anyone care come November?
obama tells Bell it’s called Dreams OF My Father. Bell writes Dreams FROM My Father. I’m not convinced he read it.

>> Im not convinced he read it. <<
Typical of the blurbing class?
No one cares. Seriously. No one except for those who all ready would not vote for BHO cares. 9 out of 10 people on the street would not even know who Bell was, and if you told them would shrug their shoulders and not think it a big deal.
How presumptuous to write an autobiography at age 35, more so when you have accomplished diddly squat.
I find it amusing that I forget about our obsession with color until someone mentions our obsession with color.
Barry is no different than Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. He's all about race and class warfare. He his the most dangerous person ever to sit in the White House.
Sure he is/was a radical who would destroy this country from the inside out, but Romney isn’t our first choice so who cares if we keep him in office for four more years.
Shouldn’t the title have been, Dreams Of My Drunken Deadbeat Father Who Abandoned Me?
Presumptuous? Hey, that's nobama's middle name. Along with arrogant and narcissistic.
Fixed.
Bobo didn't get much for his ask. That is lame as sh!t.
You should really give him credit for being a polygamist a as well. It is quite difficult to court and satisfy 3 wives.
