WASHINGTON Author and political activist Cornel West told an audience that the criminal justice system in America is criminal itself, calling out JP Morgan president/CEO Jamie Dimon.
The criminal justice system in America is itself criminal. Youve got Wall Street criminals walking free, sipping tea at the White House. Jamie Dimon, we might as well call names, said West during a speech and book signing at Busboys & Poets in Washington on Thursday.
What does he do? He basically negotiates how much he wants to pay given his criminality and then writes it off as a tax write-off. And Jamal gets caught with a crack bag. Latisha gets caught with marijuana and shes off to jail thats a crime against humanity, West also said.
The former Princeton University professor slammed the federal governments use of drones overseas.
Drones are dropping bombs on innocent people as if a baby in Somalia or Pakistan doesnt have the same status and significance as a baby in Washington, D.C., West said. I dont care how many folks say that somehow an American baby has more value than a baby in Ethiopia or Guatemala. Its just not true. Its a lie. They all have equal value. Its a crime when you kill innocent people 500 Palestinian babies killed. Wheres the voice of indignation?
West was also critical of the National Security Agency (NSA). President Obama has said the federal government is not listening in on private phone conversations, but West begs to differ.
Wiretappers walking fee, violating the law. Of course all our phones are tapped. I know mine is. I just sing a little Curtis Mayfield, no thing on me. Im so glad Ive got my own. So glad that I can see. My life is a natural high.

Can't actually argue with that.
Funny that he did not mention any Israeli babies......
I have a procedural question:
Why would anyone tap Cornel West’s phone? Does he have anything to say privately that he doesn’t already embarrass himself with publicly?
THey are just keeping it real in the District of Criminals.
Uh, >>ahem<< Barack Obama and Eric Holder ??
“Why would anyone tap Cornel Wests phone? “
Because he criticized the Dear Leader.
Mr. West, when you ordered your pizza last night, why did you not add the anchovies like you usually do ?
If the Regime has lost Cornel West, they are in deep dodo, as if Department of Injustice was not run by Holder. Cornel will change his tune when Holder joins JPM.
Is this the guy who thought a rap video would get him tenure at Harvard and he got in a snit when Larry Summers told him it wasn’t scholarly?
The only reason to tap that phone is to give the LEOs a humor break.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
West off his meds again?
I bet most babies in D.C. are aborted.
All Our Phones Are Tapped.....All Our Phones “BE” Tapped....there fixed it!!!
Plus we know how much the peaceful mohamicidal killers love to use cell phones to commit mohamicide.
Jimmy Carter said his e-mail communications are monitored.
What’s up with liberal types who are sympathetic to Obama saying their phones are tapped and e-mail spied upon???
This is PROOF Hussein is NOT BLACK!
If that sumbeech was a brother, this injustice would have been Job 1 Day 1 till it was fixed!
I support carters email being made public if for no reason but the entertainment value
This is the catalytic moment we’ve been waiting for.
we’re going to raise a lot of money.
those two sentences kinda tell the whole story of Cornell West, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc.,etc.,.
