OK, to be fair here he [Bell] was quoting another person.

Yes, Bell said he adopted the motto, "I live to harass white folks," from an elderly black lady in rural Mississippi in the 1960s. The "white folks" referred to by that lady were apparently limited to those who had personally treated her in a very vile manner. So the mantra of "I live to harass white folks," if taken in this context and limited to it, is not anywhere like the caption of the video makes it out to be.

There are surely more pernicious quotes from the late Obama idol, Prof. Bell, which better illustrate Bell's radicalism and extremism. Bell's published works should offer a rich source for such material.

That may be how the little old lady meant it but it’s not how he means it.....don’t make him noble. Good grief.

Oh he’s a sleazebag, no doubt about it.

Wasn’t trying to defend him, just what I heard in that clip. Apparently I missed him saying he felt that too.
