The small trickle of blacks speaking out against the policies of President Barack Obama is beginning to resemble something more along the lines of a steady stream. The latest “supporter” to speak out against the president is author and noted speaker Dr. Cornel West.
West recently shared his thoughts on the Obama administration, and suggested that despite the color of his skin, the president’s policies are, in fact, racist towards all poor people of color.
“… He doesn’t care about the black poor: The evidence is overwhelming! … His policies [a]re racist in effect and consequence, and especially classist in terms of generating misery among poor people, [who are] disproportionately black and brown. … The Obama administration seems to have very little concern about poor people and their social misery: Look at the policies vis-á-vis Wall Street — downplaying Main Street; look at the policies of black farmers — a settlement already in place but they don’t want to execute it because they don’t want to be associated with black folk too explicitly; look at the policies of dilapidated housing; we can go right across the board — look at the policies of the new Jim Crow — the prison-industrial complex.”
One can only wonder if the president will respond to the assertions put forth by Dr. West and how this will affect his support among blacks in 2012. This story is far from over …
I’m shocked indeed that Dr. Cornel West doesn’t realize that Communism is about power for Communist, and not for common folk!
Enter Rev. Wright. Duhhh!
“look at the policies of dilapidated housing”
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
How did the housing become dilapidated in the first place?
Any word from Dr. Kanye West on the subject?
Trying for another “15 minutes” are ya?
Oh, yes. thanks.....BatMan. I knew I was thinking awry...LOL.
The academic Rasputin can utter no wrong in the Ivy League.
Welfare - Medicaid - Unemployed heads of households = a very deep ditch dug by democrats.
Looks like Obama is about to feel his white side. Such a pity...
you’re right he is and West isn’t concerned about black people either. He’s certainly no champion of the down-trodden.
If you really look at it you’ll see between the slobber and drivel that these statements are designed to focus on the farm settlement that has not been forthcoming-THE MONEY
It’s about that,// not some poor downtrodden black people or black people’s rights and equality/s
In the bizarre inverso-speak of the black “intelligensia” what West is really complaining about is the Obama is not racist enough.
Old Hip Hop Cornel has just pushed the racism button so hard,I think he broke it.
Adam West is Batman.
Allen West is the Congressman-Elect.
He does have that creepy Rasputin vibe about him.
Ding, ding, ding !
Smells more like a Red Herring to me. The guy claims that Obummer is racist AGAINST blacks, when we know it is exactly the opposite. This is designed to make folks who see the truth allow a veil to be pulled over their eyes, and to make others clamor for more preferential treatment.
