PBS Posts Full Archived 1991 Obama Harvard Video

Breitbart bombshell turns into Big Dud
Politics • Views: 40,128

PBS has posted their full archived tape of Derrick Bell’s 1991 protest at Harvard, featuring part of the introduction by now-President Barack Obama: The Story Behind the Obama Law School Speech Video.

(Obama begins speaking at about 6:32 into the video.)

Today, the website BuzzFeed published a clip of the speech along with an article explaining some past and current context for Obama’s remarks. The website claimed the clip was “not previously available online.” The editors at brietbart.com responded that the video on Buzzfeed had been “selectively edited” and said that they would release the full footage tonight on Fox News.

But there’s nothing new about the clip or Obama’s role in the controversy at Harvard Law School. In 2008, as a part of our quadrennial election special The Choice 2008,  FRONTLINE ran the same footage of the speech as a part of an exploration of Obama’s time at Harvard Law School, where he graduated in 1991. It’s been online at our site and on YouTube since then. You can see that part of the film below.

FRONTLINE producers obtained the footage from the same source as BuzzFeed did this week: the archives of WGBH, Boston’s PBS station. The footage was shot in 1990 by a team of local news producers for the WGBH Ten O’Clock News. FRONTLINE is produced at WGBH and our producers were alerted to the footage in the station archives in 2008.

In light of today’s controversy, and breitbart.com editors’ claims that the footage had been edited, we pulled the full archived tape. In includes not just Obama’s speech, but other footage from the rally and portions of Derrick Bell’s speech. You can watch it in full below.

not gonna stop people from stating that there are new, shocking things in the video - that don't happen to be there

it's become a wingnut habit of late to claim that documents etc say things that they don't actually say

In short, Bell was a Jeremiah Wright-style kook, who saw only evil, inherent racism in America. Like Wright, he reveled in the luxuries of the country -- the greatest society mankind has ever created -- while fomenting race hatred and defending the likes of Louis Farrakhan.

And Barack Obama was his biggest fan.

Your text to link...

This is just pathetic. Obama was never his "biggest fan." He was a third-year law student who spoke his mind on matters of diversity among faculty, and sided with Bell on this issue. No more, no less.

More Pam Fail:

The video, which Kaczynski says was “licensed from a Boston television station,” shows a young Barack Obama leading a protest at Harvard Law School on behalf of Prof. Derrick Bell, a radical academic tied to Jeremiah Wright--about whom we will be releasing significant information in the coming hours.

Obama did not lead this protest. He spoke for two minutes, half of which was cracking jokes at Bell's "expense."

57 Gus  Wed, Mar 7, 2012 5:15:01pm

So what do they have? Obama makes a speech for a noble cause. Professor Derrick Bell was largely an exemplary and well educated gentleman. Young Mr. Obama makes some excellent points in his speech and shows his strength as a leader which eventually leads him to the White House.

If Obama is Derrick Bell then Mitt Romney is Peter Brimelow (i.e. CPAC 2012). I think I'd rather be associated with Derrick Bell any day of the week.

Nothing to see here.

106 watching you tiny alien kittens are  Wed, Mar 7, 2012 5:47:34pm

So basically the entire intent of this "revelation" is going to be that Obama as the most prominent current black student at Harvard and editor of the law review gave an introduction to a black professor's speech at a student protest?

I realize that on the Right it will not be presented like that, in their reality it will be spun as proof of radical/socialist(communist?)/community organizer Obama fomenting rebellion against the revered American Institution of Harvard Law School. They will claim he helped in demanding that a black woman be given tenure as a professor instead of a more qualified white man "simply for the sake of the kind of false "diversity" that is eroding America's world leadership" in innovation, blah, blah, blah.

They will then play the "six degrees of separation" game to slander the professor as a radical/socialist(communist?)/Black Panther supporting/Racialist (what does that mean anyway?), and say that Obama's support proves him a racialist too!

So basically this entire thing is going to be a hugely over hyped and overly dramatized typical piece of Breitbart style hyperbole. One designed solely to appeal to racist stereotypes and racial fear, hate, and mistrust?

They honestly think that this is going to gain any traction with anyone who isn't already one of the "faithful?"

Yeah, good luck with that guys...

Man calm your ass down don't get mad

Stop screamin' it's not the end of your life

Skins protected 'gainst the ozone layers
Breakdown 2001
Might be best to be Black
Or just Brown countdown

I've been wonderin' why
People livin' in fear
Of my shade
(Or my hi top fade)
I'm not the one that's runnin'
But they got me one the run
Treat me like I have a gun
All I got is genes and chromosomes
Consider me Black to the bone
All I want is peace and love
On this planet
(Ain't that how God planned it?)

You know it may not be the most popular thing to say in some corners but Professor Bell was right about the Constitution having flaws. It's a great document no doubt but a perfect document it is not which is why we have amendments in the first place. I admire the Founders as much as any American but they weren't supermen that were right about everything. They were flawed men like we all are but that's the crux of being human.

BOMBSHELL BREITBART OBAMA VIDEOS SET TO AIR TONIGHT ON HANNITY!!! - Atlas Shrugs

Oh yeah, the vids are a bombshell and I mean that in a literal sense: They're the shell of the bomb, without a high explosive filler or any guidance system. Just a shell containing nothing.

That Harvard protest was more than 20 years ago. I first heard of it about 5 years later, and I thought then and think now that Professor Bell's "Critical Race Theory" was a pile of destructive crap. But I also know that President Obama has not made any use of or reference to CRT in either the US Senate or as President. Given the passage of two decades and the lack of the offending doctrine in the President's recent actions, his speaking at that protest may be classed as "youthful DERPing". It has no relevance in 2012.

Seems to me the document was ahead of it's culture. The document said all men created equal. It was right, the culture was wrong. So pervasively wrong it led all branches astray from that equality principle. If "men" were taken as shorthand for humanity women would have been better off sooner. But great ideals often outpace culture.

But hey that's just my take. And I'll admit to some fatigue, I was in a deposition being challenged all freakin day. We went to the 7 hour limit of actual depo time. My brain is just tired.

The document itself contains the '2/3' bit. It's important to remember that.

The part about all men are created equal is wonderful. The part that says 2/3 of all other persons, not even having the moral courage to say 'slaves', is shameful.

How and why is he wrong and dangerous, raw assertion isn't going to cut it.

One of the things CRT does is attack the liberalism ideal of a colorblind society as unrealistic and unattainable, a position I tend to hold myself. The truth is that damned near everybody holds some level of racial prejudice, based on past experience. The goal shouldn't be to mount a false front or try delude ourselves into thinking that individually we're better than we are, but to look at the real world demographics and do something about the ongoing structural inequalities that are built into our society.

But then I'm talking to someone who has actually described himself as anti-egalitarian.

True. And it'd be great if Dark trusted any of us enough for our opinions to matter to him enough for him to look into it more. It's too bad they don't. But he really doesn't deserve a comparison to Limbaugh.

Yeah DF doesn't deserve to be compared to Rush or Rush's listeners here but I do think if you're going to describe CRT in the matter he did, it would help to read it. I don't know what to make of the man's theories. I am sure like many ideas, there's some that I'll agree with and some that I won't.

re: #283 Obdicut

The document itself contains the '2/3' bit. It's important to remember that.

It, in its writing, endorsed slavery.

The part about all men are created equal is wonderful. The part that says 2/3 of all other persons, not even having the moral courage to say 'slaves', is shameful.

Once again, a perfect world cannot be created overnight, nor can social mores (acceptance of slavery) going back to before written history be instantly banished by a piece of paper. Nor unfortunately could this own countries founding fathers, even though many held enlightened ideals entirely overcome the resistance of their State legislators and political supporters. The Constitution never could have been ratified without that language, therefore it was included out of necessity.

They did the best they could given the reality of the time, and as it turns out, better than anyone could have ever expected them to then.

Bad, bad comparison. Dark Falcon used no pejoratives toward Bell whatsoever. He never would, and deserves to be recognized for that, no matter how much I find his opinion-- or rather, someone else's opinion-- to be wrong.

Thank you for that. You're honest to a fault, and it's something I greatly appreciate.

I do think slavery would have died out but I think each year it was prolonged was a tragedy. Remember slavery didn't end in Cuba and Brazil well into the 1880's. And sadly there are parts of the world where it still exists.

Sen. Lloyd Bentsen (speaking from the grave): "Prof. Bell, I knew Rev. Wright, I worked alongside Rev. Wright...and sir, you are no Rev. Wright."

Seriously it looks as if Bell is Wright 2.0, being packaged at just the right time to again attempt to scare good God-fearing whites into believing that Obama, if not actually Muslim and Kenyan, is at least a dangerous black radical. A completely shameless load of horseshit. Maybe there is some really damning video somewhere; until then, the right is just replaying their losing hand from 2008.

Now that the American people have seen Obama in action for 4 years, most of them know he's a mainstream Democrat, not the extremist painted by Limbaugh, Hannity, et al.

Nope. You said:

You haven't read it. You don't know what it is. You trust the writing of someone else on it-- a someone you refuse to name. You do not have an opinion of Professor Bell's Critical Race Theory. You are purposefully ignorant about it.

I have read Ayn Rand, and so I can confidently talk about her philosophy being destructive crap, and list reasons why that I know are true.

You can't do this with Bell. At best, you can list things that may or may not be true, depending on how reliable your source is.

I think the only meaningful observation I made is that Obama was an eloquent and effective speaker in 1991, just as he is now. His tone, inflection and style are were the same as they are now.

I don't think he is a Manchurian Candidate recently "enhanced" to be the Mega Rock Star he is today.

This is the same mistake that people make with respect to religion. If you're going to be an atheist, at least read the different religious texts first to know what you're disagreeing with.

If you're going to be against Bell's ideas, it helps to actually read them first hand and know what they are.

Racialism is belief in the existence and significance of racial differences, but not necessarily that any absolute hierarchy between the races has been demonstrated by a rigorous and comprehensive scientific process. Racialists usually reject some claims of racial superiority (see Supremacism), but may explicitly or implicitly subscribe to others, such as that races have acted in morally superior or inferior ways, at least in certain instances or periods of history.
