John, I think you need to read that article a little closer. Nowhere in your link does it state, or provide proof, that the reason Obama was accepted into Harvard was because of affirmative action. Obama wrote that he has undoubtedly benefited from affirmative action during his academic career, and MAY have benefited from the Law Review's affirmative action policy. If anything, that article states that a key letter of recommendation may have benefited him most in his acceptance into Harvard.

That you phrased you it "if nobama wasn't black" is a racist statement. You could have tactfully stated your opinion: "Obama's acceptance into Harvard was likely a result of affirmative action." But you didn't.
