Black Columbia professor: Obama is a ‘hollow prize’ for black Americans
Campus Reform ^

Posted on 07/17/2012 12:20:33 PM PDT by oliverdarcy

A professor at Columbia University released a book last month in which he argues that President Barack Obama was a “hollow prize” for African-Americans and unworthy of the civil-rights movement that swept him into the White House in 2008.

In his book, The Price of the Ticket, Prof. Frederick Harris writes that Obama’s election came with “an implicit agreement that the forces that keep racial inequality intact will not be directly challenged.”

Harris also attacked former Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain in a veiled citation calling him “one black candidate for president [who] spouts bigoted views about blacks and the poor.”

Blacks voted for him just because he was black

That is just stupid all over (and racist, by the way- REAL racist, not the democrap kind of name-calling they throw at Republicans every time they tell a fact about Obama)

When you read something like this you get to appreciate the qualities that are essential for achieving a Ph.D in many disciplines - the ability to follow instructions and regurgitate the same political crap the liberal establishment feeds you!! Thinking is not needed!!!

Remember that jubilant black lady who gushed that Obama would pay her rent and buy her gas?

How could they NOT be disappointed...?

There are TWO Americas, and one is CRAZY.

Herman Cain is not a bigot. He merely told the truth.

Was Obama a foreign exchange student in college? He will not release his transcripts.
