Cornel West Refers to MSNBC as the “Rent-a-Negro” Phenomenon

Dr. Cornel West plainly stated that the recent phenomenon of lending large platforms to black liberal voices that are sympathetic to President Obama is part of a “Rent-a-Negro” strategy that puts specific black people, namely Al Sharpton, Melissa Harris-Perry and Michael Eric Dyson, in a position to keep the black community docile and quiet, even as their community suffers more than it has for the last 40 years.

so is that suppose to be different than the white liberals in academia hiring black professors to keep the community docile while they "suffer more than they have in the last 40 years?"

EXACTLY.

Cornel has been acting like a major dumbass since Obama skipped over him.

Dude is salty as fukk and afraid to ride for Obama.

He doesn't even know what he's arguing anymore.

I'm all for rational criticism of any political figures, but for the last couple of years it seems like Cornel West has devolved into nothing but a predictable hater. What exactly is he doing that's so great for the community?

And how is anybody on MSNBC (which most people don't even watch or care about) keeping anybody in the black community "docile"? Nobody cares about MSNBC or Al Sharpton like that, and nobody in the black community is refraining from doing something they'd otherwise do because of somebody on MSNBC.

I'm done talking about Brutha West. I'd just be a broken record at this point. I know damn well there are other blacks who have done PhDs and written books and published scholarly work - where are they? We need a new wave of "leaders" pronto.

He is right. Look what happened when melissa harris stepped out of line.. they put her in her place and broke her down. Had her looking weak and like a fool.

That would only apply if those black professors were scared or refused to speak out against the government or challenge the status quo. That doesnt apply to west.
