Professor Cornel West appeared on CNN International this afternoon to give his take on Ferguson, and said right at the outset, “Ferguson signifies the end of the age of Obama. It’s a very sad end. We began with tremendous hope and we end with great despair.” He went on to cite a “Jim Crow criminal justice system” that doesn’t seek justice for young black and brown people, and said adamantly there is both a race and a class war going on against that group in America right now.

Whatever happened to Hope & Change?

No wonder disillusioned Obamabots are burning down their cities.

Such a horrid situation. Maybe it takes real catastrophe to bring this politically-driven insanity to an end and bring America back to our previous levels of individual responsibility and patrotism.

“Ferguson signifies the end of the age of Obama. It’s a very sad end. We began with tremendous hope and we end with great despair.”

There is just too much money to be made in the race/poverty industry.

He went on to cite a “Jim Crow criminal justice system”

In a certain respect, he's right. Jim Crow laws were passed and perpetuated by DemocRATS. Most of the violence and injustices perpetrated against blacks occur in communities represented mostly if not entirely by DemocRATS.

If Michael Brown had been white, the white cop would have let himself be tackled, beaten, his gun taken, and then killed with his own gun. But since Michael Brown is black that kkkcracka killed him. That’s how whitey is, right Cornell?

Community organizers can’t even stop a city from being pillaged and reduced to smoldering rubble.

A very wise man over a hundred years ago said the very same thing.

"I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public." - Booker T. Washington

I think the community agitator is quite happy with the current situation and hopes to agitate some more.
