This is a great post by J. Christian Adams, former Justice Department attorney who quit because of the racial policies of this administration. He writes at length to explain why Professor Derrick Bell is important to the conversation in explaining Obama’s radical policies:

BREITBART - Both Obama and Bell demanded that Harvard hire professors on the basis of race. Obama and other students rallied to Bell’s side after Bell quit teaching in an attempt to force Harvard to implement race-based hiring policies.

Other archived video tapes I have reviewed reveal that Bell espouses racial ideas deeply at odds with American values–and did so, adamantly, while at Harvard Law School.

The Obama-Bell connection is the latest in a pattern of Barack Obama’s associations with individuals who promoted a racially divisive America.

Professor Derrick Bell’s racial world view is now manifesting in the policies of the Obama administration, particularly in Eric Holder’s Justice Department. That’s why Obama’s radical associations in the past matter.

That’s also why Senator Obama’s appearance with New Black Panther Party President, Malik Zulu Shabazz in Selma, Alabama, matters. I detail the 2007 Selma event and photographs with Obama and Shabazz in my book, Injustice.

Contrary to those who might praise Derrick Bell, America is the worse off because of his ideas.

Bell did more than advocate for race-based hiring. He was perhaps the worst Johnny Appleseed of a nasty racialist legal theory called Critical Race Theory. Critical Race Theory, in a nutshell, argues that the law is a weapon of the majority whites to oppress “people of color.” It argues for “structural racism”–the idea that American institutions are aligned against blacks, whether the oppressor is the criminal justice system, a cabdriver without a fare, businesses, government, Domino’s Pizza, banks, or the police.

Critical Race Theory does not view the law as applying equally to all Americans, but advocates for racially unfair implementation of the law to right past injustice.

Most of the crackpot racial grievance you hear today has a philosophical foundation in Critical Race Theory. It is a counter-American, collectivist idea. Reparations, race-based hiring and excusing New Black Panther voter intimidation are some of the evil fruits of Critical Race Theory.

Bell’s history might be insignificant if he kept it to himself. But he didn’t. He used his professorship to export this worldview to students–students like Obama, who later used their teaching posts to bring Bell’s views to the next generation.

In the Obama tapes (that have been revealed so far), we find the future President calling on Harvard students to “open up your hearts, and your minds to the words of Professor Derrick Bell.” Race relations in our country are worse off because too many people followed Obama’s advice.

I have my doubts that the American people really voted for obama...with all the voter fraud and intimidation that unfolded after the election.

The long string of dead ends on Obama's past from the time of his birth and even through his presidency leads to the obvious conclusion that he has a reason for not wanting it known. The bits and pieces that have seen the light of day like Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers shows a pattern of radicalism.

As for equal rights, that argument was settled when 600,000 soldiers died to free the blacks from slavery. Affirmative action has become a monstrosity of political correctness and I have to wonder if there even was a need to pass a civil rights act. That was followed by rights from all types of sectors in society. If people would just act responsibly and be accountable for themselves and their families, that would solve alot of the problem. There will always be intolerance in society. Those people need to be dealt with by God, not government.

I actually remember Bell from my college days in the early 70's. So he wasn't some unknown guy, even back then. We rather steered away from him because even for a liberal like myself (in those days) he seemed to be a bit of a crackpot.

Of course, the MSM will see no story in this. If any person with views that are in any way questionable - or even not so questionable (e.g. aspirin as birth control) - endorses or gives money to a Republican, that Republican, and perhaps all Republicans, are supposed to answer for it.

The President of the United States has multiple associations with extreme radicals who hate America. MSM response? Nothing to see here, old news, it was a long time ago, etc., etc. His attitude towards America is consistent with the influence of Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Derrick Bell, and who know who else. I guess most in the MSM either share that attitude or are at best indifferent to it.

Obama: the - worst - president -ever.

Some people claim that obama's racism is perpetuated by his personality disorder.

America’s Crash Course In Narcissism

Joy Tiz says the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV-TR) is the diagnostic manual used by mental health professionals. A diagnosis of narcissism requires five out of nine characteristics. Note these traits must endure overtime and must not be reactions to a particular situation or environmental stressor:

1. Grandiose sense of self-importance.

2. Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, beauty, or ideal love.

3. Sense of specialness, belief he can only be understood by or should associate only with other special or high-status individuals or institutions.

4. Need for excessive admiration.

5. Heightened sense of entitlement, leading to unreasonable expectations that others should treat him especially favorably or comply automatically with his expectations.

6. Tendency to be interpersonally exploitive. A person with NPD does not hesitate in taking advantage of others to meet his own ends.

7. Lack of empathy, an inability or unwillingness to recognize or identify with the feelings or needs of others.

8. An envy of other people, or conversely, a belief that other people envy him.

9. A tendency toward arrogant behavior or attitude.

In his essay on Obama’s narcissism, Sam Vaknin references Obama’s haughty body language and condescending attitude. Vaknin also points out Obama’s "emotion free language." Commentators frequently describe Obama as cool and aloof.

Some narcissists learn to mimic normal human emotions. Clinton is the master of this; he claimed to feel our pain, and plenty of Americans believed him. Clinton learned how to win people over with his pseudo empathy. Obama has yet to demonstrate anything we could call true empathy; irrespective of the words he uses, there is no real emotional content.

When children experience overwhelming trauma, they protect themselves as best they can with a variety of defense mechanisms. There is no question that life for little Barry was traumatic, full of chaos and abandonment, as well as genuine fear. The adults in his life betrayed him and taught him hate and mistrust. Otto Kernberg, in his research on narcissism, states that it evolves as a defense against a cold and unsympathetic parent. The child withdraws part of himself from the unavailable parent and turns it back toward himself, creating a grandiose sense of self. Healthy emotional development was just not possible in young Barry’s environment.

If five out of nine indicates narcissism, what does nine out of nine indicate?

Why is the fact that hundreds of thousands of white soldiers died in the Civil War fighting against slavery never mentioned by these race-baiting creeps? Reparations, my @#%! I think the price for the repugnant institution of slavery has already been paid for by those brave white (and black) soldiers.

"That’s also why Senator Obama’s appearance with New Black Panther Party President, Malik Zulu Shabazz in Selma, Alabama, matters. I detail the 2007 Selma event and photographs with Obama and Shabazz in my book, Injustice."

Very interesting couple of sentences. Shabazz may be blood kinfolk or just close in ideological kinship to Obama.

But, there are rumors that Obama has used several names, identities and Social Security cards during his blackout years, and one of those names was:

Bari M. Shabazz

- http://puzo1.blogspot.com/2011/11/is-putative-president-barack-hussein.html

Could this be why Obama has those scars on his head?

We can be sure of one thing, the Mossad knows the answers to who, what, where, why, when of the man who is currently operating under the name of Barack Hussein Obama, whose social security number was issued in a state where supposedly never lived:

Who is he?

http://theobamafile.com/BarackObama.htm

Obama is the most high-profile politician in recent history, the winner of a bruising election campaign in which every aspect of his life -- from his smoking habit to anti-American comments made by his pastor -- came under relentless scrutiny.

But according to Canadian government officials, a biography of Barack Obama provided to Prime Minister Stephen Harper shortly after Obama's inauguration last January qualifies as a state secret.

Broken link again, Obot scrubbers at work, but here is my cache copy.

My mind is made up about Barack Obama. I know who he is and I vote against him because of that. However, it is the same for me today as it was back in 2006, when I first started vetting him. He is no different. Most on this site are the same way.

What is different is that finally the left-leaning moderates , the independents, the right-leaning moderates that just wanted history to be made - all of these people - are being allowed to vet Obama now like they should have done back in '06-'08. All they saw then was 'Hope and Change', with their subsequent 'hope' being dashed by the inevitable 'change' that Obama brought about.

This is a good thing and it starts with these older videos and continues till November. Derrick Bell is important. Jeremiah Wright is important. The corrupt Chicago machine is important. Obama's voting record in Illinois and in the Senate are important. That's what vetting is all about. Not 'Oh, gee. Hope and Change. I like that'.

Welcome to the real world, Barack. Get used to it.

Where are all the folks who so readily quote Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech? Our president obviously does not share Martin Luther King's dream "... that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

Is is people like Professor Bell, Reverend Wright and Barack Hussein Obama who keep this dream from ever being realized.

Thaao Dill
Thaao Dill

the i have a dream speech was so much more than the single sentence, quoted context free by folks attempting to buttress their own beliefs by neutering MLK's until they're in sync.

to be absolutely clear:

a) the IHAD speech was delivered as the culmination of the Poor People's Campaign. This phase was called the March on Washington For Jobs and Freedom, explicitly designed to demand federal intervention/spending on class/race specific programs to help uplift the institutionally disenfranchised.

b) the march was about 250 thousand folks deep, and had a message prioritized - in keeping with Dr. King's perspective - to focus on enhancing economic/social justice and the federal protection of civil rights, superceding those of the states. that was the point of the event that led to the IHAD speech.

c) the IHAD speech itself STARTED by emphasizing the explicit relationship between equality and economic justice. As Dr. King himself said:

"...In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice."

this was not rhetorical. Dr. King believed in applied economic justice, on a federal level. here's an excerpt from his final book, Where Do We Go From Here?

"I am now convinced that the simplest approach will prove to be the most effective -- the solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed measure: the guaranteed income."

the point is, conservatives don't get to appropriate Dr. King. he's not your hero. he was the most eloquent, reasoned and justice minded proponent of intentional, practical social and economic justice. Dr. King was a socialist. definitively, measureably, absolutely.

so, unless you truly understand and accept the preconditions he laid out before it was possible to generate a reality where character assessment should supercede anything color based, you don't get to appropriate him. Dr. King is not your hero. everything he believed and accomplished was diametrically opposed to your world view, in every way that counts.

get your own hero. Dr. King is and always will be a proud, powerful man of the left.

Many people don't want to hear about the things you said about MLK, however, I believe you made some profound and solid points, td.

Also, it seems to me that many people on the left and right admire the fact that even though MLK had a strong message, he was a pacifist.

K-Bob
K-Bob

Men like King and JFK would be sick over what the left is today. The left repudiates daily most of the things both of those men stood for.

So go ahead and try your best to claim his as somehow belonging to you. It makes the left look all the more foolish for believing such a fantasy.

Thaao Dill
Thaao Dill

thanks for the generous assessment. ;)

and yep, Dr. King's commitment to non-violent resistance is as significant a conceptual gift as any one person has offered up to the world to consider and, hopefully, choose to embrace.
