| Black agitators feuding with one another. |
The feud seems to be boiling between Black liberal agitators Rev. Perm (Al Sharpton) and Dr. Cornel West.
You see the New York righteous ones are Black civil rights leaders. Rev. Perm is the host of PoliticsNation on Obama News. He also is a talk radio host and signed entertainer on Cash Money Records.
West on the other hand is a professor of African American studies at the Union Theological Seminary. He was the famous professor of studies at Princeton and Harvard University. He's a frequent collaborator with PBS news agitator Tavis Smiley and they both host a radio show that is on WCPT in Chicago.
West offered harsh words for the March On Washington and the primary speakers.
“Brother Martin himself, I think, would've been turning over in his grave,” West said of the event. “[King would have wanted] people to talk about Wall Street criminality, he wants people to talk about war crimes, or drones dropping bombs on innocent people,” he asserted.
“Instead,” he lamented, “we saw the coronation of the bonafide house negro of the Barack Obama plantation, our dear brother Al Sharpton.” West then declared that Sharpton’s decline was “supported by [MSNBC analyst] Michael Dyson and others who’ve prostituted themselves in a very ugly and vicious way.”
West was once good friends with President Barack Obama and Rev. Perm. All that seemed to change.
He would talk to Amy Goodman of Democracy Now about his outrage.
“…Lincoln isn’t Lincoln if Frederick Douglass isn't pushing him. FDR isn't FDR if A. Philip Randolph and Eleanor Roosevelt aren't pushing him. LBJ isn't LBJ if MLK isn't pushing him.
“We don’t believe in making excuses. We believe that if [Obama] is not pushed, he’s going to be a transactional president and not a transformational president. And we believe that the time is now for action and no longer accommodation. But that doesn't happen unless you’re pushed.”
West even knocked at fellow Black educators Melissa Harris-Perry and Michael Eric Dyson. They are liberal agitators who a featured host on Obama News as well.
I love Brother Mike Dyson… but we’re living in a society where everybody is up for sale. Everything is up for sale. And he and Brother Sharpton and Sister Melissa and others, they have sold their souls for a mess of Obama pottage. And we invite them back to the black prophetic tradition after Obama leaves. But at the moment, they want insider access, and they want to tell those kind of lies. They want to turn their back to poor and working people.
I would expect that Rev. Perm and Melissa Harris-Perry will no longer invite Tavis Smiley and West on their programs for the time being.
Scratch that! Melissa Harris-Perry will address West in some fashion soon! So I will say she'll debate him in the coming weeks.
Now didn't I say I can't stand West and Smiley!
Okay, here's your moment in the sun. There are Black extremists. You may think of people like Rev. Perm, Cut His Nuts Off Jackson, President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, or even the First Lady Michelle Obama to be extremists.
You're dead wrong!
The president is an elected leader. You may not like him whether for his policies, his race or his actions. That's fine. But he's no where near the extreme some of these folks paint him out to be.
I call Rev. Perm and Cut His Nuts Off Jackson, two civil rights leaders that piss off the racist right. They're Black liberal agitators who inspire action. Just like Chalk E. Becker and Palin Da Ass, these guys are in the game of group hoarding. If they speak, people will listen.
You don't have to be Justin Bieber to know that the old school folks love to see people they've grown accustomed to see everyday ranting and raving.
But for Tavis Smiley and Cornel West, I can at least say their the Black extremists the racist right outta be focusing on. Sure they're good friends with White people and all. I understand that. But deep down inside, I think they're actively supporting a race war just like That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall and other extremists.
These two bozos are B-list Black agitators who are jealous of Rev. Perm getting a show and they're being shown the door.
You can't blame them for being passionate about the Black community and issues in the world. They have a right to say whatever they're programmed to say.
But do we have to listen.?
Just like those dolts who support that "no accomplishment" turd Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky). They idol worship a politico who (like his daddy) has nothing but conspiracies masquerading as accomplishments.
Name one thing that Paul has accomplished in the nearly three years of him being in the U.S. Senate?
And I am talking about legislation victories he sponsored.
Anyways, Black extremism is alive and well. I didn't pass off on the extremism within the Black community.
It's not a gang ritual or a group mentality.
It's a few individuals who are so off the rails with issues they don't see clearly or they are the vocal minority in a group that's overwhelmingly against them.
Cornel Ronald West (born June 2, 1953) is an American philosopher, academic, activist, author, public intellectual, and prominent member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Cornel West publicly supported 2008 Democratic Presidential candidate then US Senator Barack Obama. He spoke to over 1,000 of his supporters at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, N.Y.C., on November 29, 2007.
West has described himself as a "non-Marxist socialist" (partly because he cannot reconcile Marxism with Christianity) and serves as honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, which he has described as "the first multiracial, socialist organization close enough to my politics that I could join".
West criticized President Obama when Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, saying that it would be difficult for Obama to be "a war president with a peace prize"; West further retracted his support for Obama in an April 2011 interview, stating that Obama is "a black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats. And now he has become head of the American killing machine and is proud of it."
In November 2012, West said in an interview that he considered Obama a "Rockefeller Republican in blackface."
Melissa Harris-Perry, a professor of political science at Tulane University, criticized what she described as the "utter hilarity" of West's statements, writing that his comments are a "classic projection of his own comfortably ensconced life at Harvard and Princeton Universities" and that West "offers thin criticism of President Obama and stunning insight into the delicate ego of the self-appointed black leadership class".
West later called Harris-Perry a "fake and a fraud".
In 2011, West participated in a "Poverty Tour" with Tavis Smiley, his co-host on the Public Radio International program Smiley & West. The tour became a two-part special on their radio program as well as a five-night special on the PBS television program Tavis Smiley. They recounted their experience on the tour in their 2012 bestselling book The Rich and the Rest of Us. The stated aim of the tour was to highlight the plight of the impoverished population of the United States prior to the 2012 Presidential Election, whose candidates West and Smiley stated had ignored the plight of the poor.
I wonder what Dr. Cornel West thinks of Senator Tim Scott (R-South Carolina)?
