Lion's Den: Cornel West Feud With Te-Nehisi Coates!

Dog fight.

Cornel West is the fiercest critic of Barack Obama from the left. The famed professor is not mincing words when it comes to "the struggle."

He often goes after the prominent Black devout followers of Obama.

The New York Times and Atlantic writer Te-Nehisi Coates is in the crosshairs.

These two been going at it for years. West has called Coates, "the neoliberal face of the Black freedom struggle."

Coates is friendly with Obama. He pretty much invested in hashtag activism.

West isn't a fan. He believes Obama didn't do much for the Black community. He said that Obama's love for the banks and drones made him a sellout for life.

Wondering how West feels about Donald J. Trump? Or his buddy, the federally watched former Green Party candidate Jill Stein?

West also hit back at the notion that Obama channeled Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s principles.

“This gross misunderstanding of who Malcolm X was — the greatest prophetic voice against the American Empire — and who Barack Obama is — the first black head of the American Empire — speaks volumes about Coates’ neoliberal view of the world.”

This feud has prompt Coates to delete his Twitter.

West is an ally of disgraced Black agitator Tavis Smiley. The agitator was fired out the cannon at PBS for sexual abuse. They ended his show.

Smiley went to GMA to publicly deny the allegations.
