The Corner on National Review Online

It turns out that I’m wrong to think that Obama’s election would have even symbolic benefit. Hans Bader informs us that Harvard law professor Charles Ogletree, “Obama’s top advisor on race issues, explains that since Obama is ‘biracial,’ his election won’t prove that racism has receded. White America won’t vote for blacks, Ogletree argues, and Obama’s election is possible only because he’s partly white.”

So, under Ogletree’s drop-of-blood test, if you’re one of those folks who mistakenly think that the cases for Obama and McCain are reasonably close, there’s no symbolic achievement in electing Obama. You’d better wait for a real black candidate.

Of course this disgrace to Harvard apparently doesn’t see the irony, let alone the bone-rattling stupidity, of applying the same “one-drop-of-blood” test the Ku Klux Klan used to classify American blacks to paint blacks as “whites.”

But of course, Ogletree is part of the racist establishment that achieves money and power by promoting bigotry. These hate-hustling race pimps cannot afford for America not to be a “racist” society, because then their grasping claws would be ripped from the pocketbooks of academia and the corporate world. Bigots to a man, they are a stain upon society.

On the other hand, Obama’s election does prove that America is still a racist society, that is, a society that makes decisions based on race alone. Martin Luther King must be rolling in his grave - for he was intelligent enough to understand that Barack Obama was not elected for the contents of his character, but for the color of his skin.

Do you doubt it? Convince me, then, that a white man with no experience at, well, anything, a product of the Chicago political sewers, a man who pals around with racists, terrorists, and crooks, could be elected President of the United States.

If Obama were actually the “white man’ that race pimp Ogletree claims he is, he’d still be a community organizer back in Chicago.
