Oh yeah. I was going to vote against him based on his socialst past and policies, but then I realized he was half-white, so I’ve got to reconsider.

They want to reserve the right to continue to use the bludgeon of white guilt to beat us with from time to time ...

Not from time to time. Constantly, until the end of time

If there’s anything harder for Obama to find than his birth documents it’s his white self.

"Ogletree's point is that because of pervasive racism which he expects will last decades, white America won't vote for blacks and other minority candidates. The expected heavy white vote for Obama doesn't disprove this thesis, Ogletree says, because Obama's not black; he's "biracial." So it looks like, according to Ogletree (and Obama?) that white America will have to do lots more for blacks after electing Obama to atone for past sins; it will get little if any credit for electing Obama. "

That statement represents the most RACIST statement I have heard in this whole campaign; it supposes the entire election is built ONLY on race, and promotes the myth that if obama loses, it will be totally race-based.

I would not expect such ignorance from Harvard...(or would I). Witnessing from afar, it seems that the level of prominance of a particular college is based on the cost to go there.

Now, let me sum it up - Georgia style: Race, in the current vernacular, is more attitude based than blood based. Obama may be genetically "half-white", but his attitude, beliefs, and statements are Jeremiah Wright all the way down the line...hate whitey.

Now, WHATEVER his racial makeup is, his actual beliefs, attitudes, platitudes and associates are 100%, radical, racist, black.

And Ogletree's "point" is so far off the base of reality, it stinks. Quoting President Reagan: "Liberals aren't liars, it's just that they know so much that isn't true.".

“Now nobody needs to feel any pressure to vote for him.”

How much you wanna bet this same fella will blame racism if Obama loses?

Most African-Americans are biracial. Can the crap, Ogletree, we’ve heard it enough times.

[A Strict Constructionist]

Where is Vlad the Impaler when you need him? Ogletree needs an attitude readjustment.

Obama has no connection to slavery, at all, other than being the beneficiary of it.

Tagline material!

Welcome to FR....

It's no great surprise that Charles Ogletree..would do a proposed pre-strike..to protect his turf.

Race disruption is how he makes his bones.........

Old kiddie riddle: What’s black and white, but red all over? Answer: a newspaper. New answer: Barack Hussein Obama, the New York Times, the LA Times and assorted other newspapapers.

No doubt about it.

My favorite part is the author's claim that Ogletree isn't a "fringe Obama kook" since he's a professor at Harvard Law.
