Cornel West Reaches A New Low, Calls Obama America’s First ‘N*ggerized’ President


African-American academic Cornel West said on CNN that President Barack Obama was the country’s first “******ized” president, because he was too scared to address white supremacy.

“Look, you can’t talk about wealth inequality, you can’t talk about decrepit education, you can’t talk about massive unemployment and underemployment, and you can’t talk about drones being dropped on people in other parts of the world without talking about white supremacy, and its ways in which it operates,” he said.

“It doesn’t have to be overt, the president is right about that,” West continued. “But too many black people are ******ized. I would say the first black president has become the first ******ized black president.”

“What do you mean by that?” asked dismayed host Poppy Harlow.

“A ******ized black person is a black person who is afraid and scared and intimidated when it comes to putting a spotlight on white supremacy and fighting against white supremacy,” West responded. “…We know he’s president of all America, but white supremacy is as American as cherry pie! We’re talking about moral issues, spiritual issues!”

5. And Cornel West is a self-important blowhard whose narcissism has been permanently wounded

by the fact that another black man has achieved greatness that he himself will never come close to approaching.

Ouchie!


     DU: where you can be a lily-white drunken alcoholic slob who threatens to kill homeless people and who calls the President a Piece of Shit Used Car Salesman and be just fine, but you
CAN'T be a prominent black person and critique Lord Zero.

     

     ps - Did you see where Cornel West mentioned EVERY SINGLE DUmmy concern, and they sent him packing anyway?

Obama expanded the use of drones to kill people and even used them to kill US citizens when convenient.

“A ******ized black person is a black person who is afraid and scared and intimidated when it comes to putting a spotlight on white supremacy and fighting against white supremacy,” West responded. “

Exactly the opposite of what I thought it would be. Let's get another opinion.

OTOH, he does have a point about how black people are way worse off than they were under previous presidents.  I don't just blame Obama for that fact, though. It's the fact that under Obama, the left has managed to force through more of their policies than in the past.

Liberal policies are meant to hurt everyone, but they always hurt women, the poor and minorities the most.
