Professor Bell, be careful crossing the street, crazy busdrivers out there.

I thought he passed away.

Derrick Bell is listed in The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America by David Horowitz, founder of Frontpage Magazine.

Bell complained, in fact, that most white employers were loath to hire African Americans for “any position above the most menial.

Apparently, the owners of all the teams in the NBA and NFL didn't get the memo.

[JimSEA]

So our “up from poverty and racial oppression” president was still in law school at the age of thirty? Some missing years in there, twenty five would be usual for a middle class and financially concerned student.

Bell was among the first critics to condemn the June 1991 nomination of Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court, stating:

“To place a person who looks black and who, in conservative terms, thinks white, is an insult.”

he was selling hate , it helps to also explain why Herman Cain was such a threat to them.

[wayoverontheright]

.....according to Critical Race Theory, is that the members of “oppressed” racial groups are entitled—in fact obligated—to determine for themselves which laws and traditions have merit and are worth observing.

It seems our president paid attention in class.

[Crucial]

Wholly disgusted by the white race, Bell predicted that eventually America would witness the rise of charismatic new black leaders who, in the interests of retribution, would “urge that instead of [African Americans] killing each other, they should go out in gangs and kill a whole lot of white people.”[10] Presumably this was some of the lofty “scholarship” that so impressed Barack Obama.

Bell endorsed a journal called Race Traitor, whose stated aim is “to abolish the white race, which means no more and no less than abolishing the privileges of the white skin.”

I wonder if Hannity knows about these writings specifically. I also wonder if he and other conservatives are hesitant about revealing this or at least revealing it too forcefully as it is so disturbing and disgustingly racist.

Obama 2001: Scrap the Constitution, spread the wealth

Obama in 2001 radio interview:

...But, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution.

...I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was, um, because the civil rights movement became so court focused I think there was a tendancy to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that.

Obama wishes to scrap the limits placed on government powers because they get in the way of his redistributive schemes--

A Class Sends Message To Harvard Law School
Special to The New York Times
Published: November 21, 1990

In a small basement classroom at Harvard Law School, 22 students gather week after week for a class no one was expected to take.

The course offers no credit. (snip)

This is no ordinary class. It is a civil rights seminar taught by Derrick A. Bell Jr., the soft-spoken black professor who broke ranks with Harvard last spring by vowing to take an unpaid leave of absence until the law school appoints a minority woman to its tenured faculty. Of the faculty’s 62 tenured members, three are black and five are women.

For Mr. Bell, one of the nation’s leading legal scholars, teaching his fall semester class, “Civil Rights at the Crossroads,” without his annual salary of about $120,000 is an extension of his protest.

The guy lived in and espoused a paradox. He claims that aggressive racial favoritism is required to right what he sees as the wrongs of the American past, while embracing the political party that institutionalized the wrongs of which he bases his theory, while at the same time, denigrating those of his own ethnicity who succeed without the racial favoritism he espouses (threats to his theory).
Furthermore, he talks of society and politics based on a white culture, but when one looks at the world history of black cultures, not a society or political system has progressed due to violence and corruption that is systemic within. So he actually is pulling a baseless theory out of his a** that only those with no or an aberrant education can embrace.

Is there anyone on Freerepublic that wouldn’t leap at the chance to vote for either Thomas Sowell or Col. West if either were running for president? Is there anyone here who wouldn’t count himself lucky to get such a chance? Is there anyone here who would even give a passing notice to the ethnicity of either man?

In the final analysis, people should be free to throw their support behind a socialist who has spent his entire adult life allying himself with America-hating radicals and Marxists, if that is whom they choose to embrace. But when doing so, it is vital that they at least be cognizant of the fact that they are indeed backing such an individual.

Let the vetting begin.......

The battle is on.

No more "hope and change" fluff. Barrack Obama is allied with American-hating radicals and Marxists. Are you in?

I know quite a few leftists who would say yes to that, but I know quite a few more who would balk.

A vote for Obama is a vote to further tear down the America you grew up in and replace it with late sixties Eastern European style marxist state.

Are you in?

[submarinerswife]

What would these race baiters do if there had never been slavery in the US?

I despise these people. Obama included.

[Endo]

There’s something fishy about this. The video was hidden during ‘08, but then shown publicly to a room full of people shortly after Professor Bell died. I’m betting this is some sort of strategy on zero’s part. This criticism of Bell is going to backfire.
