He is thrice-divorced and still pays alimony to his last ex-wife.
In addition, West supports a young daughter named Zeytun, who lives in Germany. Zeytun was born in 2000, the result of a “love relationship,” as he calls it, with a Kurdish journalist who was at Harvard on a Nieman Fellowship. West visits Zeytun every six weeks, he says. He calls her every day, and keeps a lock of her hair, tied with a faded ribbon, in his wallet. (West also has a son from his first marriage and a 16-year-old grandson.)
People who have known West for decades believe the alliance with Smiley plays to West’s greatest flaw:
his hunger for adulation.
“As much as I love the life of the mind, I do not give primary status to intellect,” he told me. “I give much more to the centrality of love, and much more to where that love comes from—and that is family, faith, friends, and music. That is fundamentally who I am. Smartness is not some kind of value that I put a whole lot of weight on.
There are smart Nazis and smart xenophobes and smart patriarchs and so forth.”
“
Liberals are … destroying the parental role,” he wrote in
The War Against Parents, co-authored in 1998 with Sylvia Ann Hewlett. “Many on the left fail to understand that we need to rein in untrammeled individualism if we are to re-create the values that nurture family life.”
Yet Cornel West is no traditional family man. The protagonist of Brother West seems a puppyish and self-important nerd who chases women until he wears them down and conquers them. (“Marry me,” he begged the woman who became his last wife, “and become the First Lady of Black America.”)
West says he abhors racism and nationalism, yet in a public spat that made headlines in 1999, he refused to concur with Michael Lerner that Louis Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic views made him “a racist dog,” preferring instead to call him “a xenophobic spokesperson when it comes to dealing with Jewish humanity.
This connection between Christianity and social revolution makes West a “liberation theologian,” a person who, as James Cone explained it to me, “attempts to understand the Christian Gospel from the perspective of people who are marginalized and poor and who have been excluded from mainstream society.” Liberation theology does not always have a Marxist or socialist flavor, but in West’s hands, it does.
Also, he said he would smack Obama... and yea I think one of his wives was White. And he got bodied by Larry Summers.
No I didn't. I made a post asking if he thought the democrats would win again. Then I laughed at the statement he made about Dr. West being a sellout because hes a professor at a white college nit taking in that the college is one of the most prestigious in the world.
You made a statement supporting Hillary so I spoke to you as a Hillary supporter
