Professor Cornel West appeared on CNN International this afternoon to give his take on Ferguson, and said right at the outset, “Ferguson signifies the end of the age of Obama. It’s a very sad end. We began with tremendous hope and we end with great despair.” He went on to cite a “Jim Crow criminal justice system” that doesn’t seek justice for young black and brown people, and said adamantly there is both a race and a class war going on against that group in America right now. CNNI anchor Hala Gorani asked West why he’s “so harsh” on the

I can only hope for the demise of the Race Grievance Industry in my lifetime.
The White House janitor could do a better job than the Great Pretender In Chief.
Forgive me, but...
He went on to cite a “Jim Crow criminal justice system” that doesn’t seek justice for young black and brown people, and said adamantly there is both a race and a class war going on against that group in America right now.
...that's not being "intellectually honest".
That's the same old sorry excuse-making that's handicapped black society for the last 2-3 generations. The only "race war" being conducted in America today is black-on-black.
That would explain why nobody mentions Booker T. Washington during Black History month.
A cover that I would like to see.
Ferguson signifies the end of the age of Obama
Thank God!
All people Black and White and everyone else will benefit from that!
Cornel has no issue with blacks being moved 5 million seats further back in the bus,
Geez, finally West says something half-way coherent and worth considering....
Well, I would call it the logical conclusion of Obama’s presidency. There are a lot more logical conclusions coming down the road.
All trying to warn about the damage incurred by Obama.
What were they expecting? Marxists only know how to destroy.
The one and only mitigating factor of the Obama presidency has been his laziness. Barry, at heart, is a Choom Gang lifer who would rather be golfing than fundamentally transforming. That’s what West is complaining about here.
That’s why it’s called “white privilege”. Whites get the privilege of attacking cops any time they’re inclined to, with no consequences. I must admit, though, I do get a little uncomfortable when random people hand me $100 bills just because I’m white.
Black people?! Obama threw them under the bus with his dictates to allow illegal children to stay and now with his additional amnesty. The biggest losers of the Obama regime are American blacks.
Been watching Cornell a very long time.
That reminds me, what happened to those 100+ federal agents in Ferguson area? Where they sitting somewhere just munching on popcorn while watching the community burn?
I’m going to pretend you didn’t really say Cornel West is intellectually honest
He’s a raving anti white nutter with a poor IQ and worse track record of scholarship
He’s a buffoon who uses big words and verbose 19th century word smithing which means jack in context
The sort who thinks Cleopatra was a tropical Negro and whites stole all knowledge from his peoples who built great cities no one can find today
And most important he feels snubbed by Obama whose white half in denial can’t stomach such a nut and prefers Skip Gates or Travis Smiley for what passes for black intellectual company
If one is to judge a peoples by their cream risen to leadership then black Americans must look worst of all given their so called leaders from Sharpton to Shelia Lee to Cornel to Lil Wayne to John Lewis to
The benchmark for respected tribal sage or witch doctor is quite low
It tickles me how young Freepers think black culture was bucolic pre 1960s and GOP were conservative good guys and Dems all evil
Like history is so simple and neat
Its not
But I guess its easier to spoonfeed that way
Lol
Hope ain’t gonna cut it
As whites become a minority then people of color will have the votes to extract their pound of flesh
And they will...
