Professor Cornel West: Battle For Entitlements Will Be “Fought In the Streets”

SHTF Plan ^ | 12/5/11 | Mac Slavo

[Kartographer]

Civil disobedience will only work until the people realize nothing has been done – and that nothing can or will be done. When they finally understand that politicians, bureaucrats and corporate interests have completely destroyed their way of life, then we can fully expect violent confrontations and mid-east style, potentially armed, riots in the streets of America.

This isn’t going away. In fact, the frustration, anger and desperation will continue to build pressure. Whether its the Tea Party movement, Occupy Wall Street, or other third-party protests, the momentum is gaining speed and strength.

I hate to agree with such a 'leftist' radical, but I think he is right on this.

[dynachrome]

And that will get their welfare from .....?

If the money isn’t there, all the violence in the world won’t get you your food stamp card, HUD home, and big screen TV.

You may have something there. However I think he's betting on the wrong horse.

"If the money isn’t there, all the violence in the world won’t get you your food stamp card, HUD home, and big screen TV"

Yes it will if you choose to steal it from those who already have it.

He may be right for reasons that he may not like. Culled from the 'Careful What You Wish For' files.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Cornell has absolutely no idea just how badly I hope he and his ilk try this. None whatsoever.

[mowowie]

Maybe a couple of guys should go knock on Cornel’s front door, Grab him then drag his leftie ass onto the street for a major ass kicking then.

Is that what you talkin’ about cornel?

OWS is not “Civil disobedience.” OWS lost all credibility when they provoked the police, were violent, destroyed personal property, hurt businesses, used the term “jooo banker” etc. etc.

If all these black activists and Progressive demagogues keep preaching violence is the only way, pretty soon it will be,

[muawiyah]

The module of design for American urban areas simply does not lend itself well to pitched battles in the streets.

West is the kind of idiot who believes unarmed civilians waving their arms in the air and shouting slogans can be meaningful ~

[Pox]

Fine. Let's get the dance started already. I'm eager to “take out the trash”, and if I have to forfeit my life to insure that my descendants never again have to be threatened by marxist ideology, so be it.

[dynachrome]

Once only. Plus, I believe the entitlement mentality means most of the parasite class will wait for the gov’t to “do something” ala Katrina. Cornel West’s solution is the usual marxist one with a racist twist, IMHO.

[Venturer]

If we change their way of life they will fight.

In other words they would rather fight than seek work.

[Chode]

said with the bravery of being out of range... he'll never be in the streets

[Mariner]

Just be prepared to shoot to kill.

Do it early and often.

[gdzla]

So in other words; give them what they want or there will be violence.

[beethovenfan]

“Professor” my a$$. Just another rabble rouser, er, “community organizer”.

[bigbob]

noting says crazy whack-job loonie leftie quite like Cornel!

What amazes me is that the very places that would light the sky at night are the places with the greatest concentrations of the same vermin advocating this. It would be like the Rodney King riots, but without the civil discourse and tolerance that existed twenty years ago. They might as well just get a can of gas and torch their own homes on the way to queuing up at a local bridge to wait their turn to jump into the river. Yet, this genetic defective West seems to think that one or two agitated local malcontents in places like Corn Tassel, KS are going to suddenly turn their community into a Socialist paradise by breaking a few windows and knocking old Mrs. Bellmeyer's flower pots over. It wouldn't take too long before he and his brethren and sistern would be on the frosty side of the Canadian border, wondering why the wolf pack they incited turned on them.
