Can you imagine the right-wing outrage if Obama dropped out of Columbia/Harvard Law School because they were too white, and went to Howard University instead? How many seconds would it take for people at Hot Air/Pam Gellar to shout “RAAACIST!!!” if that happened?

I honestly think that if that had happened, he wouldn’t have been able to run for POTUS. Look how hard the nut fringe has struggled to paint him as an “angry black man” (beck with the “deepseated hatred of white culture”, the hysterical claims that there was a michelle obama ‘whitey tape’). That’s part of the hysteria behind Jeremiah Wright as well.
