Cornel West has done much to derail the education of black students from success into worthless and useless majors of study that leave them unable to get jobs.
If you added the lost wealth of his former students, it would likely now total in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
While his is just a shadow of the man who has ruined the lives of millions of black Americans, Noam Chomsky, West has ruined lives in a close and personal manner.
Cornell West is just another liberal academic huckster, of which I am not sure where in the pantheon he ranks of liberal academic hucksters.
