Late Prof. Derrick Bell’s Widow Defends Him Against Sarah Palin And Co. ‘Racist’ Smear
Mediaite ^ | March 13, 2012 | Tommy Christopher

The late Professor Derrick Bell, who was the first black tenured professor at Harvard Law School, has become collateral damage in a failed conservative attempt to discredit President Obama. Smeared by conservative websites, and figures like Sarah Palin, as “radical” and “racist,” and unable to speak in his own defense, Prof. Bell’s legacy now rests with those who knew him. On Monday night’s The Ed Show, the late professor’s widow Janet Dewart Bell responded to these attacks on her deceased husband.

The conservative Breitbart.com family of Big sites have lately devoted themselves to smearing the late Professor Derrick Bell as a “radical” who committed the unspeakable outrage of hugging our future president, releasing the “incriminating” footage of then-Harvard Law Review President Barack Obama introducing Prof. Bell at a pro-diversity protest. Although the “Hug Scandal” has gotten very little traction in the mainstream media, the smears against Prof. Bell have mounted. Rather than explore the ways in which Prof. Bell’s work has been twisted and smeared, Host Ed Schultz‘s interview with Prof. Bell’s widow focused on the vicious attacks on his character.

She learned her lesson well. Any and all criticism is to be met with a charge of racism.

The problem is, that dog won’t hunt anymore. Four years of Obama’s garbage and his minions slavish defense and reflexive abuse of the racism card have left it with little or no value.

Read about his life, his ideology and his writings. The guy was a racist and a marxist, Jim.

Andrew is gone but the Breitbart organization will remain true to his MO. Drip by drip, more information and videos will be released over time that the MSM will not be able to ignore or explain away.

If leftwing black racism becomes widely known,
they lose their biggest weapon that they use to avoid
actually having to defend leftist policy -

the accusation of “racism”.

It’s amusing watching the racist demoKKKrats defending blacKKK racists.

When the race war starts, the first victims will be liberal honkies living in big Marxist cities. These people are stupid beyond measure.

Haha....That's rich. A white woman lawyer fawning over a racist who believed that if a black man were to rape a white woman, he should receive less punishment because the laws she would use against him were "stacked" to her race's benefit. Steinem, you useful idiot!

Liberals use the race card under the mantra: “When boxed in by logic, whip it out.”

Who are they to call it “failed”? It’s clear to me that he is (was) a rascist. I had only heard the name in passing before Breitbart released the video. I’d say that it was at least modestly successful.

Because whites need to be continually reminded that they are all racists. If you weren't a white racist, you would understand.

"He accepted people as they were.”

Oh, really?

How does that jibe with this?

"Bell signed a credo calling for the abolishment of “the white race as a social category...”

I had no idea this existed, unless you just put it together.
