Wikipedia Editing War Erupts Over Obama's Connection to Radical Derrick Bell
Townhall.com ^ | March 10, 2012 | Katie Pavlich

Posted on 03/10/2012 4:31:56 AM PST by Kaslin

In light of video surfacing this week showing President Barack Obama fully embracing radical Harvard Professor Derrick Bell, the man who said he lived to "harass white folks," an editing war on the Derrick Bell Wikipedia page has erupted. It looks as though editors are arguing about whether or not to even mention Obama's affiliation with Bell, despite evidence showing that the two were closely connected. It also looks like the page was set as "protected" at one point to avoid controversy. Notice the editing war started on the evening of March 7, just after the connect between Bell and Obama was made on Fox News' Hannity and has continued since then.

Some of the highlights from the screen shots below:

"Unprotected Derrick Bell: maybe I erred, maybe there really is trouble here. I'm not sure, but getting involved here is more hassle than it's worth"

"Academic contributions: no need for a lengthy quote from a harshly critical opinion piece"

"Relationship to President Barack Obama: rm unsourced and false. the entire video has been on pbs.org for years."

"Relationship to President Barack Obama"

"Removed dubious from Obama video reference. Nothing dubious about it"

It is—but it’s nothing new. The Press has been hiding things from us for years.

The question is why?

Obama is a radical racist, the press knows it and yet they have been deliberately hiding the facts from America.

Why?

The video of Bell at one of the links is mind boggling. He says he “lives to harass white folks” but it isn’t a racial thing.

Let me get a crack at it. Commitment: I will add a comment about his affiliation to this racist professor, on the Japanese version of Wikipedia. Most of these US liberal saps cannot read Japanese so they will not know where it appears or how to edit it. But Japanese readers in the millions will be introduced to this aspect of our president. I may also like to an online stream of the Harvard Law School Baraka Obama.

I may then consider this "revision" (or addition) to the bio of Obama in Chinese, German, Russian, Spanish, etc. all over worldwide Wikipedia. It is something full well within my capabilities to do.

This is funny -- the scramble. Watch for this pattern as more is released in the future.

On PBS for years? Yeah WITHOUT audio... "so, open your hearts and minds to the words of Derik Bell"

The Bell issue is important.

It appears Obama is trying to apply Bells' critical race theory through DOJ and Judges. Where not everyone is equal under the law, justice is not blind..

This is why he said he wants people that can emphasize with the life experience of minorities gays...when chosing Judges.

Sotomayor ,Holder, Kagan..

I will “link” to a stream of the marxist student Obama at Harvard, on those other Wikipedia sites.

Lol -- "editing war". The author correctly identifies the new battleground.

"whether to even mention Obama..." -- the name that must not be mentioned?
