Charles Ogletree is a damn fool.

Politics: These are the people advising Obama?

Even if you vote for Obama, you’re still probably a racist, according to Harvard law professor Charles Ogletree, in his remarks at recent events like a panel discussion at my alma mater.

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.

The ABA Journal predicts that Ogletree, who has long advocated race-based reparations, will be the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Civil Rights Division during the Obama administration.

Negro please. No one is arguing that racism has been pushed way to the back even with Obama getting elected President. But to dismiss people voting for him because he is half-white is an insult created in the mind of a fool.
