Cornel West: Obama's response to shootings was weak

[notPsychosiz]

For fukks sake.

The Right Wing is ALREADY blaming the police deaths on him too.

This is why I stopped fukking with Cornel West...dude has NO concept of what Obama is dealing with by even attempting to address this shyt.

He stuck his neck out for Mike Brown, Trayvon, Tamir Rice, and Freddie Gray...and STILL got shyt for it.

And Cornel never comes to his defense when these white supremacists are acting like Obama is anti-cop.

shyts different on that level. Cornel may never understand that.

I tried to time it so I could be the one to give you your 1,000th neg... Its the only reason you aren't on ignore yet.
But I mistimed it and I can't neg you at the moment.

So I might as well just ignore you at -990 cause someone is certainly gonna beat me to it before I can neg you.
Listening to anymore of your drivel is intolerable.

Goodbye. Its been real.

Why would Cornel West give a fukk about that? Is he Obama's daddy? No, he's an activist pushing his cause. If the President feels like he can't speak out on these issues forcefully because the many white supremacists would be mad, it's not Cornel and other activists' job to back off because the President is stressed. That would in fact be an abdication of their moral responsibility. Cornel is not the President, his job is to speak truth to power.

Yeah I've always had a problem with Obama playing "the president of all people" thing in these situations.

People hating on Cornel West #NewNikkas

Where was Cornel West when white people were blasting Obama over the Trayvon Martin comments?

 

[bdkane]

I think the operative word in that quote is "feel". Cornel is saying that instead of Obama coming out and treating white supremacy as an objective fact, he treats it as simply a bad feeling that black people have. That black people are merely being insulted or offended by white supremacy. This leads to white people thinking these problems are superficial and can be solved by simply making black people feel good. You see this in most white people's reflex to find a token black person and say "See, they're not upset!". Cornel is saying that Obama's translation ends up obscuring just how deeply embedded white supremacy is, and diluting its effects and root causes. It allows white people to hide behind a veil of ignorance. If this problem is to be solved, it needs to be confronted in full.

Cornell west been hating since Obama wouldn't give him The tickets for the inauguration. he never ever will be objective toward Obama. Obama can't be far left on this issue he has to be neutral cause he works with both sides. he can't be a black only president cause the far right will kill him and other community will feel left out so as president he has to be nuetral

Looking for white accep...

 

[nawshus]

There's nothing he can do but pacify black ppl with some empty feel good rhetoric, which he has been trying to do.

Only legit criticisms of Obama is that he has prioritised other special interest groups over blacks, but so has every democrat, black voters haven't got shyt out of that relationship since Johnson.

 

[JahFocus CS]

Now this biracial cac is out here describing the Dallas situation as a "hate crime"

shyt is getting spookier out here.
