Why rely on an unreliable a source as Wikipedia when Prof Bell’s own writings are undoubtedly available?

Doing research is too much work for libs.

Why get sick yourself when you can rely on other people’s retchings?

Tells you something about the level of intelligence at CNN when the first place they go to for crib notes is Wikipedia!

I was wondering the same thing. This has gone from the absurd to the sublime.

“Google Scholar” enables one to search a lot of academic writings. Unfortunately, many articles & books are locked behind paywalls. Here's one anthology on Critical Race Theory that's available for free:

http://books.google.ca/books?hl=en&lr=&id=Hd1MpNYWAaoC&oi=fnd&pg=PR13&dq=critical+race+theory+definition+Derrick+Bell&ots=4mCZqvZE67&sig=3Smgb5ACrw16zcGufIYJmb18CSs#v=onepage&q=critical%20race%20theory%20definition%20Derrick%20Bell&f=false

It contains an article by Derrick Bell, and numerous references to Bell.

You can use Google Scholar just like regular google — so, there's lots more to find there on this topic.

As you suggest — Bell's own words should be used to settle things. (I'm not holding my breath.)

I should warn you — the baffle-gab quotient in these “works” is off the chart. It makes ordinary academic writing look crisp, clear, and straightforward.
