Is this the “beer summit” racist?

Should have aimed higher.

When I chose to become a public scholar in the 1990s, there were three people who inspired me the most: Michael Eric Dyson, Julianne Malveaux and Cornel West.

Caution: Credibility sinking fast.

I also found myself to be a strong supporter of the great Minister Louis Farrakhan and Rev Jesse Jackson.

Warning: Rate of credibility loss accelerating exponentially.

Rev. Al Sharpton might be one of the smartest public figures I’ve ever met, but I confess that we don’t always see eye-to-eye.

Danger: Credibility zero and going negative.

What nonsensical drivel.

>>Oh, I never thought of that!

Don’t think too much. We need to focus on the superficial things so blacks will find a leader who is clean, articulate, and non-threatening in appearance. Maybe half white, with a suburban upbringing and suspicious Ivy League degree.

It's all about the hair.

As Gore Vidal once said of an intellectual rival, "He has very important hair."

I saw Cornel on the street once years ago.

I said hello. He said hello.

So he can't be all bad.

Actually, since you’re being so humorless, I will tell you: appearance counts for a lot. The outside reflects the inside. This man’s appearance is all about looking like a witch doctor in a bad suit. That kind of look is unsettling and unpleasant and he knows it.

And, then, of course, he’s just ugly.

That entire screed is satire!!!

So...even the certifiable nutcake Melissa Harris-Perry is at war with Mr. Obsolete Sixties Afro?

You just can’t make this s*** up! The jokes just write themselves.

Who was it who said Cornel West sounds like the name of a college dorm?

LOL, I went as far as “Al Sharpton might be one of the smartest public figures I’ve ever met,” that was as far as I will go reading it.

That’s my point. If the blacks want to follow a guy who looks like a bomb-throwing radical, then MAYBE the white guilters will get nervous and not think that he’s the Second Coming. BO was the “perfect” black marxist politician because he’s black enough for the blacks and white enough for the white guilters and had the blank history for everyone to write their own desires on it.

Can you splain to me what a “Public Scholar” is? Seems to me to be another made up position to make someone “impotant”. It ranks right up there with “gay studies” in impotance. We here at FR don’t need to study to be happy.

Just when I was warming up to Perry...NO MORE!!!

Anybody that would hire Schmidt is not fit for office.

on top of the fact that hiring Steve Schmidt proves he is unfit for office, it shows exceptionally bad politics??? What was he thinking?

I am done with him

Good Lord, what a bunch of tripe and pablum. There is truly nothing there, not a single description of a single accomplishment. This essay set is at least an eleven on the vacuity nonsense scale.

Me, too, that was the last straw. 2ndDivisionVet is going to help me put a thread together linking all the GOPe as we speak going on the Palin/Cruz attack.
