Derrick Bell and the media shrug

Thomas Lifson  "The brilliant graphic artist Big Fur Hat has summed up the stunning double standard of our friends in the media with the following cartoon strip. I can't stop smiling. See what you think."

BELL, VIA KAGAN, ON CRITICAL RACE THEORY: THE CONSTITUTION IS THE PROBLEM  "In November 1985, the Harvard Law Review published an article by Derrick Bell that was a "classic" in the development of Critical Race Theory."

 [Prof. Derrick Bell's] "article makes clear that Critical Race Theory sees the U.S. Constitution as a form of "original sin"--a view later embraced by Obama as a state legislator, and reflected in his actions and appointments."

WHAT IS CRITICAL RACE THEORY?  "Last week, Breitbart.com released video demonstrating Barack Obama’s close relationship with Derrick Bell, the father of Critical Race Theory (CRT). And we’ve seen Soledad O’Brien  try to twist the definition of critical race theory in order to protect Obama by grabbing a quick definition from Wikipedia. But just what is CRT? Why is it so dangerous? And what role does it play in President Obama’s thinking?

"Let’s begin from the beginning."....
...."And then there’s Eric Holder, the Attorney General, who said we were a “nation of cowards” on race, and who has used the Department of Justice to target racial groups unequally (see, for example, the famed New Black Panther case).

"The CRT theme runs deep in the Obama psyche. And it continues to impact us each and every day. That’s why Derrick Bell is relevant. And that’s why we will continue to vet the president – and a media that covers for him by pretending that CRT is mainstream rather than extremist and destructive."
