While speaking on Smiley & West, his radio show with co-host Tavis Smiley, Cornel West praised the Supreme Court's ruling last week on gay marriage but complained that "we black folk are just being pushed to the back of the bus in terms of our visibility," the Washington Times reports.

>>Cornel West: Blacks ‘Being Pushed to the Back of the Bus’<<

I always find it ironic that Rosa Parks literally put her life on the line to insure that black people didn’t have to sit in the back of the bus but in my experience every time I’ve had to be on a bus (city bus, school bus, etc.) the black people all sit in the back anyway.

West is just annoyed that Obama hasn’t gone full Mugabe on us. He doesn’t seem to understand that going full Mugabe requires a 95% black majority.

Would somebody please tell Cornel West that he is irrelevant, his black marxism (Democratic Socialists of America leader) is irrelevant, and that his hair needs some hedge trimmer work?

I hear that he is starring in the sequel to the movie “Clueless”, “Clueless Deux: Groucho Marxism in Academia”.

Obama is only 6% black, and it’s pretty evident he doesn’t care about black people whatsoever, so I don’t think he’d ever go, “mugabe.”

Excellent observation and fairly close to the truth.

Maybe someone needs to send his idol a Koran to top the cake!

As said by the daughter of Dr. King. “My father did not take a bullet for gay marriage.”

The dems own blacks, homosexuals, Jews and most hispanics, but the big dem push will be toward hispanics who don’t vote in big enough numbers. That’s where all the love will be directed.

I don’t know what country he is living in but it isn’t America.

We have blacks, homosexuals, athiests, illegal aliens and whining muslims at the forefront of every discussion and aspect of life here.

They totally dominate our culture 24/7/365.

If a visitor made a judgment of America based on the news media, television and the government they would think whites, heterosexuals and Christians were the outsiders; just a small, unwelcome, illegal minority.

How's that 97% Democratic [sic] party loyalty working out for you, Cornel? Surely you didn't think you were worth more than a "free" telephone, did you?

Actually I think the Gay infiltration of the media and gay infiltration of the political processes and offices, may be the root cause of a lot of our problems.

I think the gay angle may be why Obama was pushed as hard as he was. And it’s probably why the MSM has lost all sense of fair play. The gays are vehemently anti-Christian and anti-republican.

Obama’s first term appears to have been spent placing gays in key positions from education to military and the supreme court.

And now Obama is on a world wide crusade to bring gayness to all the world.

It we are going to ever bring balance back to the MSM, we need a plan to get the gays out of it.

I do have to wonder what country he's talking about.
