Cornel West, an extremist race-relations instructor at Princeton, addressed the 10th annual Young Democratic Socialists conference earlier this month. The three-day event took place at Norman Thomas High School in Manhattan, named after an American socialist activist.
The meeting, entitled "Real change for a change," described itself as a "snap shot of the current socialist movement in the United States."

Like David Horowitz said, Cornel West is a $300,000 Harvard professor who hasn’t produced a piece of scholarly work in 20 years.

America will never be Socialist.
You haven't been paying attention. It already is.
No holds barred, take no prisoners, name names and make these red bastards pay dearly for the consequences of nearly one hundred years of insidious and unrelenting attacks on capitalism and judeo-christian morality.
The days of marxists operating in the open in your face and you'll like it or else are fast drawing to a close.
THESE RED SONS OF BITCHES THINK THEY CAN STEAL THE PRODUCTIVE CLASS MONEY BY THE ELECTORAL PROCESS.
WRONG.
So when a socialist praises Obama it’s a good thing. But when someone CALLS Obama a socialist, they’re a racist teabagger bent on destroying the rule of law.
Socialism is only temporary. It is not a sustainable situation, as Europe and Japan are finding out. Once the debt load becomes undoable, that socialism either morphs into dictatorship or the country is renewed.
West was born in 1953 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. From a young age, he proclaimed that he admired the sincere black militancy of Malcolm X, the defiant rage of the Black Panther Party … and the livid black [liberation] theology of James Cone.
Growing up in the radical 1960s, West became a black militant activist and president of his senior class in high school. At seventeen he was recruited to Harvard, where, as he describes it, he was determined to press the university and its intellectual traditions into the service of his political agendas….
West is a friend to Louis Farrakhan, among the most influential anti-Semites in America. And in 1999, in his role as then-presidential candidate Bill Bradley’s advisor on blacks, West encouraged Bradley to meet with Al Sharpton (whose own campaign for a U.S. Senate seat West had supported in 1994)….
West deems the United States a nation rife with bigotry that finds its expression in an endless flow of affronts and assaults aimed against the black community. He has branded the U.S. a racist patriarchal nation where white supremacy continues to define everyday life. White America, he writes, has been historically weak-willed in ensuring racial justice and has continued to resist fully accepting the humanity of blacks. This has resulted, he claims, in the creation of many degraded and oppressed people [who are] hungry for identity, meaning, and self-worth. …
West is a proponent of black liberation theology — a variation of liberation theology, which teaches that the New Testament gospels can be understood only as calls for social activism, class struggle, and revolution aimed at overturning the existing capitalist order and installing, in its stead, a socialist utopia where today’s poor will unseat their oppressors and become liberated from their material (and, consequently, their spiritual) deprivations. Black liberation theology seeks to foment a similar Marxist revolutionary fervor founded on racial rather than class solidarity. The Christian notion of salvation in the afterlife is superseded by liberation on earth, courtesy of the aforementioned socialist utopia….
In 2008 Senator Barack Obama named West to his presidential campaign’s Black Advisory Council. West is a great admirer of Obama’s former pastor and longtime spiritual mentor, Rev.Jeremiah Wright….

No, I have been paying attention. I’m just not one that pouts.
Youre just complacent?
He was until Summers kicked his black a$$ out.
Actually, Summers was censured and forced out.
No. I’m actually doing something. I just don’t pout, whine, quit,or get hysterical.
