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.

he's right I can't even watch that channel anymore

I stopped watching MSNBC at all years ago. The pro wrestling aspect of cable news stopped being even mildly interesting to me a long time ago.

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.

Lol, all cornel west does is spew leftist/Marxist propoganda with a black veneer on it, the stuff he is saying was revolutionary in 1914

:jordanlmao: I'm stealing that gif

but re: topic
his tone is much too inflammatory and racist for my taste

But that cac Toure ain't one of us

 

[Thoughts]

It's not about segregation but healthy cohesive assimilation, at the end of the day MANY of us are AMERICAN. Regardless of the land's history we can not change the past however we can shape the future. As much as I hate cacs, they are American too and we have to work together to create a nation that's forward thinking.

No matter blacks' reason for working at MSNBC at the end of the day they're encouraging interpersonal communication and dialog between the two communities.

Cornel is looking for VINDICATION in an era where MANY do not understand his struggles of pre-civil rights era. He had the right idea by becoming a professor and teaching the younger generation. Although he lost his job for making mixtapes, he can not become "anti-white" and then pull his support from Obama because the president had other plans.

He's too great of a mind to reduce himself to scorned propaganda in hopes of clambering for an authoritative voice.

I used to think the way you do
but at this point I think black people need a break from the white supremacist psychic field in order to heal their psyche and culture
at the foundation of this disposition is my utter disgust and sadness when (upon looking at the statistics) considering the waste of lives, of potentials, of black bodies; as generations of the race waits for "healthy cohesive assimilation". I am sure I am not the first to feel this way but I hope to be one of the last necessary.

I don't think you understand what "assimilation" means ...healthy assimilation, many Jewish-Americans have assimilated into America's fabric and are a financial super power. Asians too ....however they still retained their culture and beliefs.

Blacks are too scared to develop NEW cultures and beliefs that define our struggle in America, the 60's was TOO REAL and TOO BLUNT it had to be STOPPED, same with the RECONSTRUCTION ERA.

I think the RECONSTRUCTION ERA was the the perfect example of healthy assimilation, which is why it too had to be stopped.

There's no way we can break free from white America, they need us, just like we need them ...however we can strengthening our communities and DECIDE for ourselves the level of involvement in America...like other ethnicities do.

sorry we are going to have to stop here

sorry we are going to have to stop here

That's usually where it gets too real for the weak minded to stay chisel ...the black American's culture is unique to ANY other group of people on Earth.
For centuries our identity was deliberately stifled until the 60's.

Why do you think so many of our parents who were revolutionaries became drug addicts and if they survived to the 80's some became sellouts and fled the black community? Neither group of blacks has an idea where to begin because of the fractured ideal of what it means to be an American.

...the ending result was the last 30 years of parentless children, with a new fracture of 90's babies with nothing but equal opportunity but they lack to see the invisible ceiling. The race based one.

Us older 80's babies have to show them the way, our voice is the missing link and the piece that solves the puzzle to show us what direction to take towards the future.

...Or else we'll be reduced to Chief Keefs and Jayden Smiths, allowing Complex and Macklemore to tell us what "black struggle" is.

too real, there was a thread in the booth were a poster was saying (and also there have been blogs written about in other places) that Lorde's song Royals is insulting black people because black people and black culture are all about bragging about material things, i just had to

cuz what you said is real, people really do think that is our culture

If you can tell me what you consider evidence or proof that supports AND refutes

"Blacks are too scared to develop NEW cultures and beliefs that define our struggle in America"

Then I would bother
but since I am not uninitiated when it comes to these discussions
I know exactly how it goes, essentially, Logical fallacies will dominate
and this is pretty much where things started with the original statement that prompted my egress and where it continues with the very next response

"That's usually where it gets too real for the weak minded to stay chisel"

So again if you can establish the basis of that original statement and what you would accept as refutation of it, then we can continue
