Ogletree to Washington?

If we vote for Obama will you stop calling "racist"?
Babalu Blog — If we vote for Obama will you stop calling "racist"? No. Sorry. Can't do it Sally. Even if you vote for Obama, you’re still probably a racist, according to Harvard law professor Charles Ogletree, in his remarks at a recent panel discussion at my alma mater.

White America won’t vote for blacks, Ogletree argues, and Obama’s election is possible only because he’s partly white. The ABA Journal predicts that Ogletree, who has long advocated ...

Re: Race and the Presidential Race
The Corner — ... 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.

Oh, and the guy who said it? He could be in line to be the DOJ’s Asst. Attorney General on Civil Rights under an Obama administration. Yippee.

Obama Support Growing
Jules Crittenden — ...  prospects for a race war, but apparenlty its more nuanced … sort of a grudging respect between frothing racist Bush-bashers, I guess. I was also surprised they are so anti-Bush, anti-Iraq, etc. I would have thought they be on board with anything that involves killing Muslims, but apparently I’ve been too focused on all the lefty prop that shares a lot of those views but basically sees Bush as a white supremacist. Funny that way, extremism. Anyway, here’s some racism from the black side of the ledger , Ogletree purportedly holding that if you’re white and you vote for Obama, ...
