Re: Cornel West

36. I respectfully disagree.

On the part about West getting a pass. First, because I don't think the comment, in context, is at all "racist." Hence, reasons 2 through 10 are not necessary.

Still, I think that to be accurate, we should refer to President Obama as brown. He's as close to white as he is black. But the wide span of public perception includes many points of view that -- sadly -- have great difficulty with brown folks, especially those with one white and one black parent. Discussing that can be difficult, due to numerous factors in our culture.

This, of course, is merely my opinion. It's based upon life experience, as well as reading and listening to Cornel West. I recognize that others, such as yourself, have just as much right to your opinions.

Peace,
