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 …
Unless there is a total revamp of American institutions, any policy that perpetuate those institutions by definition is a racist one.
I later had a hot water heater installed also dilapidated.
I painted the outside myself. the peeling paint made my house look dilapidated.
I trimmed my trees up they were making my house look dilapidated. With all the light coming through I sodded my front yard, it took me a few years because I did it when I had the money and laid the sod myself. My yard looked dilapidated.
I just finished redoing my shower, the tile was cracking and leaking behind the wall causing dilapidation.
Apparently if you don't try to keep you house up, over time it will become dilapidated even to the point of being unlivable.
West thinks everything is racist.
Taylor Swift is keeping the brothers and sista’s down!
Don’t worry, it’s easy to make that mistake. Adam West has a lot in common with Allen West.
Cornel West is CERTIFIABLE!!
This is a very good window of opportunity for leaders like Allen West to articulate the importance of constitutional conservatism to the black community.
Realization that Obama suckered them can alert their attention to the things which normally go by unnoticed.
Such as the fact that socialism is slavery.
Cornel West is an idiot as well as a racist. Blacks like him are affirmative action hires. From a stand point of actual intelligence the guy can barely read or write, seriously, look at his academic career. The guys a loon.
Taylor Swift may not be a fan of Kanye West, but the country singer recently revealed that she loves 50 Cent.
In an interview with late night comedian and 50 Cent’s rumored girlfriend Chelsea Handler, Taylor Swift confessed that she loves Fif and also uses his music to warm up before her shows.
“I love 50 Cent. That’s my thing,” Taylor Swift said in the interview. “When we’re on tour, we have all three girls—the backup singer, the fiddle player, and me—all in one room and we all warm up to 50 Cent’s music. It would be surprising how many lyrics I know.”
Love your tag line! I might have to borrow it.
(Like the Ft Hood Killer, James Earl Ray was just stressed when he killed MLK Jr)
