I (Horowitz) just came across this on the Internet and couldn't resist sharing it. The vacant bloviating brain of Cornel West has been ominpresently on display of late as he promotes his latest book of vacuous posturings. For me the wonder is that anyone within a mile of his presence can keep a straight face.
Snip
[Direct quote from Cornel West] So that sense of, you know, I mean, in that fundamental sense, to be a nigger is to be unsafe, unprotected, subject to random violence,and hated. And now the whole nation niggerized, and everybody got to deal with it.
I'd warn anyone here about using the N-word, JimRob doesn't take kindly to it, and if you think this thread gives you an excuse to go ahead and say it in any form, you'll probably find your post pulled. I don't think he wants any FReepers using it for any reason (slippery slopes and whatnot)
West is just replaying an old theme -- see: Normal Mailer, The White Negro: Superficial Reflections on the Hipster (1956)
