Cornel West: Al Sharpton "The Bonafide House Negro of the Obama Plantation"

[Consigliere]

Cornel West's fall from grace has been epic.

I wonder if he's gonna go this hard on Hillary and her homeboys when she gets elected.

Haven't you hillary supporters learned that you guys suck at presidential predictions. Dr. West hasn't fell from grace at all. You Hillary/Obama supporters have though. If McCain or Romney have done the things west os calling Obama out for you would be calling West a genius.

Exactly, these OBama apologists are such fukking hypocrites.

The fact that they are pushing to go into Syria and wanted him to bypass congress is just disgusting. To call them hypocritical sheep is putting it to nicely.

#1 I'm not a Hillary supporter.

#2 You must not be a student of history. After Black men got the vote, women gained suffrage. After a Black president it's inevitable that we'll get a woman president. If Hillary runs she will win. There's precedent.

#3 Dr. West most certainly has fallen from grace because he's in no position to be playing any sort of levels of Blackness card on anyone. West teaches at primarily wealthy & White institutions and is prone to extending Bill Maher the courtesy of calling him 'brother' Bill on multiple occasions. He's the most respected crab in the barrel.

#4 The average Black person is proud of Obama for cracking a color barrier even if they dont agree with his policies. West stands outside of this consensus and instead chooses to undermine his brother using derogatory racial language that has no place in civilized debate coming from someone steeped in academia.

#5 fukk McCain and Romney. Its not about disagreeing with Obama, its about the way you choose to express your views. If Obama is a house ******, what type of ****** is Cornel West? What type of ****** are you? This is a low place to take academic thought to and it doesnt hold up upon inspection and dissection. shyt's light. It's a weak argument that comes from a more legitimate place on street corners than from professors at Princeton & Harvard.

Don't see why the house negro thing was necessary but the first part is 100% spot on. We were talking about this in the various MLK threads of the last month or two.

Just completely white-washing and filtering Dr. King's ultimate message and goals. Sorry to tell you, but if Dr. King had lived on, he wouldn't be too pleased with out current President policy wise. But again, we get fed this very filtered MLK so people don't even know what the man was about.

My problem is not that I disagree but that he would be silent (as he was before, when it suited him) if he had a place alongside or ahead of Rev. Sharpton.

Hillary and Obama supporters are not the same, you'll see in 2015 breh.

The problem is Al decided to switch gears and go from black advocacy to Obama apologist. Don't agree with the language, but we all know by now the only color is green in America. @Washington_Red

I agree- "house negro" was unnecessary and cheapens the substance, but as for the rest, well, you already know:

Yeah I know breh but in this case they are. Hillary has more balls then Obama tho and we prolly wouldn't even be talking about Syria If she was president. Hillary Clinton is a lot of things but A punk to be pushed around isn't one of them

Do you honestly believe the country will elect another democrat in 2016? And

At teaching and earning degrees at some of the most prestigious colleges in the world being a negative to you.
