The Swamp That Produced Henry Gates — and Obama
Posted by Dave Blount at July 27, 2009 9:41 AM
Comrade Obama's friendship with Harvard's highly paid professional racist Henry Louis Gates has offered another chilling look into the milieu that produced our Community Activist in Chief. Regarding Gates' associations:
Since 1991, Gates has been teaching African American studies at Harvard, where he serves as the director of the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research. De Bois, an American civil rights activist, sociologist, historian and author, was an avowed communist… In 1927 he infamously traveled to the USSR, where he called the Soviet system "the most hopeful vehicle for the world." …
Du Bois joined the Communist Party USA in 1961. He emigrated to Ghana, where he became a naturalized citizen, living in the country's socialist police state. Two years later, the Communist Party named its new youth group the W.E.B. DuBois Clubs.
Serving as director for the Harvard institute immortalizing Du Bois, Gates cultivated black radicals to his race studies department, most prominently bringing in Cornel West, a controversial adviser on Louis Farrakhan's Million Man March with close ties to socialist and black extremist groups. West is a declared personal friend of Farrakhan. … Gates authored two books with West, a long-time member and honorary chair of the Democrat Socialists of America. West served on the black advisory board of Obama's presidential campaign.
From a young age, West proclaimed he admired "the sincere black militancy of Malcolm X, the defiant rage of the Black Panther Party … and the livid black [liberation] theology of James Cone."
What a coincidence: the viciously racist, Marxist diatribes of this same James Cone also inspired Jeremiah Wright, who was Obama's spiritual mentor for 20 years before getting thrown under the bus out of political expediency.
The radical anti-American, anti-liberty, anti-Caucasian movement that spawned The Anointed One is a small world, fortunately.
Gates with yet another unsavory associate.
