Cornell is a bit out there but he tries to stay intellectually honest.
Intellectually honest? Did you only read the headline?
Forgive me, but...
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.
...that's not being "intellectually honest".
That's the same old sorry excuse-making that's handicapped black society for the last 2-3 generations. The only "race war" being conducted in America today is black-on-black.
I’m going to pretend you didn’t really say Cornel West is intellectually honest
He’s a raving anti white nutter with a poor IQ and worse track record of scholarship
He’s a buffoon who uses big words and verbose 19th century word smithing which means jack in context
The sort who thinks Cleopatra was a tropical Negro and whites stole all knowledge from his peoples who built great cities no one can find today
And most important he feels snubbed by Obama whose white half in denial can’t stomach such a nut and prefers Skip Gates or Travis Smiley for what passes for black intellectual company
If one is to judge a peoples by their cream risen to leadership then black Americans must look worst of all given their so called leaders from Sharpton to Shelia Lee to Cornel to Lil Wayne to John Lewis to
The benchmark for respected tribal sage or witch doctor is quite low
“Cornell is a bit out there but he tries to stay intellectually honest.”
Uhh, try not to get carried away; keep in mind that philosophically and politically Cornel West is Left of Obama - which means he’s waaay over there.
Cornel keeping it real!! He’s honest and humble for a commie.
Someone should ask West whether, if there’s really a race war underway, which side is waging it ... given that Brown is the one who initiated violent action against Wilson.
