I understand the seductiveness of Bell's race reductionist approach. For privileged women and people of color, racism and sexism are infuriating because you're not getting all of the privileges that wealth provides for white men. You dream of creating a class system in which the only thing that matters is money and Bell helps you think that would result in true equality.

If you want to read the works of black academics who talk about race and gender and also class, I recommend Adolph Reed.
