In reply to the discussion: Cornel West on the President [View all]JustAnotherGen
(31,780 posts)There is a 'personal history' there where West was completely a drama llama over the inauguration. He acted like President Obama was supposed to do anything and everything he told him to in office - and basically wanted him to ignore every issue other than black issues.
He's also highly featured at a web site (will not link to here) that is extremely racists towards all non blacks. . . but extra special hate for white folks.
I think it's funny - how everyone jumps all over and gets all up in arms over the words 'white privilege' - but when confronted by someone who is applauded by black people who hate white people- it's okay to hold him up.
What's next - David Duke gets applauded for saying the same things?
Not trying to give you a hard time - but he's really alienated a lot of us younger black folks who have grown up criss crossing color lines with his rhetoric and showmanship.
