This Week In Blackness: “Thats Whats Wrong with Black People”

» 12 June 2009 »

As Featured in The Huffington Post:

If you happen to have perused the latest Rolling Stone you might have come across an interesting comment by celebrated Black academic Dr. Cornell West:

That’s not my calling. Yeah, brother, you find me in a crack house before you find me in the White House. I’ll go into the crack house before I ever go that far inside.

Dr. West was answering a question about whether he would ever accept a position in the Obama adminstration’s White House. On the surface this might seem like the rebel response. No, he won’t join the institution that is holding down Black people across the land. He is a free thinker who will not be bound by a country who still doesn’t take the plight of all of its citizens seriously.

Or you could see this for what it is. Sheer lunacy.

    West has always been a conflicted brother. Harvard and Princeton are as establishment as it gets! Better to turn down a position that will never be offered. Obama is nothing but a puppet of the banksters. So West is much too back and radical for him

    I like West, but the bottom line is that these brothas get paid to talk shit at a Ivy League schools that pay six figure salaries!

    If you really progressive take 48K year to teach at HBCU like Morris Brown!

    I completely get your take on stereotypes. However, I’m afraid, at this junction in time, that stereotypes is our societies creed. Until that changes, I can understand how Mr. West does not want to be associated with the said institution. You could put a whole bunch of brothas and sistas up in there, but it is still the “White” House. It is still government.
