Derrick Bell should be remembered for what he was: a great champion of civil rights and a proud, outspoken, and brilliant man who inspired many in the legal community. He directly influenced and encouraged many students of all ethnicities at Harvard, but particularly, his presence was felt by African-American students as someone “in their corner.”
If you haven’t read Spacetraders, I recommend it.

theobsidiancinnamonster asked: I was reading your post with the title "if you have to say 'we're not all like that"...I was wondering if you could explain it further? I find myself saying that because other races (not just whites, I've gotten it from others) think that all black people are the outspoken, loudmouth, ghetto girls that you see. And I have to tell them "we're not all like that." because I'm trying to say "Don't expect me to act like them, because I won't." ?
A lot of people try to make the comparison of “well you wouldn’t like it if I said _____ about black people,” but that doesn’t hold water....
