This is exactly how one of my officemates (who is black) thinks and talks. He has stated outright that blacks are incapable of being racist, but he still manages to find some penumbra of racism hiding in every single thing every white person ever says or does. If the variables were reversed, he’d be out on his ass tomorrow, but as things are, he’s praised and surrounded by people who tell him that he’s right about everything.

I must admit I feel superior to Derrick Bell.

I’m not racist.

Bell is going to be the gift that keeps on giving.
He won’t change the “mind” of the hardcore Obamite, but we WILL educate the independents as to who Obama really is.

You should break the news to him that white people don’t even think about race until he mentions it, and then they consider it to be his personal problem.

He will believe that is further evidence of racism.

I think the problem is not that "whites" feel "superior," it's that Mr. Bell feels inferior, and somebody has to pay.

Ha. In academia it's suicide not to think about race, especially if you happen to be a white male who interacts with minorities of any stripe.

No, the FACT that my parents were married, and
the FACT that we are typically law abiding, and
the FACT that we take it upon ourselves to be better educated as well as
the FACT that we have the good sense to treat our bodies with respect; all tend to create a culture that is inherently superior to the Black Culture.

This is not unique to White America, you see this in the Asian cultures as well as in India - all of which are prospering; and everyone easily eclipses the Blacks, not only in America, but throughout the world. It has nothing to do with race, it has to do with CULTURE.

Where White/Asian/Indian Culture holds education, self-discipline, and personal accomplishments in high esteem; the Black Culture holds violence, ignorance and 'thuggery' as an objective of worship.

Yes, otherwise we white folks would have to fall back on just our hundreds and hundreds of years of awe-inspiring contributions to civilization to feel superior... But black Arabs invented math.

Black Egyptians invented technology.

Jesus was black.

Let's not forget about black Santa...and...

what about Kwanzaa??

The left is all about hate, division and using people foolish enough to go along with it. It’s how Barry grew up.

It must really try your patience to work with such a boor.

Good grief, we’ve managed to find someone more vapid, more stupid, more unqualified for any real job, and one who’s done even less than our Cretin-in-Chief.

And, since he’s a “professor,” we also know that some low-standards university was fooled into thinking that this loon’s PhD was actually something in an intellectual subject.

Wonder what university it could be?

Perhaps one that gives out law degrees to semi-literate students...?

That's a big pet peeve of mine. Racism is hate, plain and simple. Hate comes from the heart. We all have hearts. If not get your buddy to E.R. he has a problem. So anyone can hate.

This “We have no power” B.S. is, well B.S. The Jews in Auschwitz & Dachau had no power but still hated the Germans.

Hate is a powerful but misguided emotion. I am off the soap box now. LOL

My mixed race family disagrees with Prof. Bell.
