Civil rights activist and philosopher Cornel West on Monday endorsed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for president.
"I endorse Brother @BernieSanders because he is a long-distance runner with integrity in the struggle for justice for over 50 years," West tweeted late Monday night.
West went on to say that it's time for Sanders' "prophetic voice to be heard across our crisis-ridden country."

Geriatric throwbacks protecting their own. Stuck in the 60’s, they nonetheless consider themselves “progressive.”

Nothing says diversity like a communist at an elite Ivy League school sending a valentine to another communist from a virtually all white New England state.
“Civil rights activist and philosopher..”
Opportunist and angry racist..
LOL!
Exactly!
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. This will be a help in the primaries and a hindrance if Sanders gets the nomination -- the PBS/NPR Demwit voters prefer BBC reruns because they're mighty long on white people. It's called microaggression.
Who knew?
Imagine my double take when I read your headline as “Colonel West”.
To West, whites are allies. Expendable when they are no longer useful.
I’m not worried about Bernie...
We’re going to need a War President and Bernie has backbone... If he got in (God forbid) he would be too busy dealing with war to worry about messing up the economy...
Oh, and PBS/NPR ARE a microaggression...
Cornhole has been on FOX alot lately. He looks like a Dr. Seuss character. He has flies around his toothless mouth as well.
Well put.
