Cornel West wrote this? The Cornel West from Harvard? I am speechless1
West is a Marxist. Always keep that in mind when one like him “goes straight” re doing something properly or smart.
Maybe he likes the Classics. After all, HE IS A COLLEGE PROFESSOR, as if they are the only ones who can appreciate any type of “CLASSICS”, be it music, literature, philosophy, even patriotism.
So what, at the end of the day, he’s still a traitorous Marxist who is poisoning too many minds of our young people. He knows what he is doing. HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS SAYING. He does not do this out of the goodness of his heart, the rationality of his warped mind, for the betterment of society, unless this is the an example of “The Broken Clock Being Right Twice a Day” syndrome.
