Akaczynski:

Our pal Andrew Kaczynski manages to find the best videos, ones that nobody else seems to notice, and he just sent this one along for us to share with you.

Please link over to his post here. I’ll provide excerpts:

It was perhaps Barack Obama’s most intense immersion in the charged campus racial politics of the late 1980s and early 1990s: As President of the Harvard Law Review in the spring of his final year there, 1991, he aligned himself with Professor Derrick Bell’s dramatic protest for diversity on the faculty of Harvard Law School. [...]

Obama was a major figure on campus, the first black president of the Law Review. Some friends, in a prescient joke, just referred to him as “the first black president.” He had a reputation as a conciliatory figure, not a confrontational one like Bell. [...]

In a speech before the law school’s Harkness Commons — and sounding very much like his future presidential self — he described Bell as “the Rosa Parks of legal education.”

What?! No teleprompter?!

This was just too cool not to share. Please read Andrew’s entire post here.
