Anybody Else See The Bullshit Of Linking Bernie Sanders To Cornell West ???

[Number23]

33. I'm not sure that I understand your post.

That was two different posters I was referring to. One who actually thought West endorsing Sanders was a good thing because of the "high" respect he gets among their circle of friends. I would strongly suggest that person widen their circle and get out more, but I don't think that suggestion would be appreciated.

As for getting "educated", are you wondering who many of the black academics, pundits etc. are that have slammed West's really deranged criticisms of Obama over the years? Here are a few:

Michael Eric Dyson who has been on Obama's butt more than once, was once great friends with Cornell and now still can't stand him - http://www.newrepublic.com/article/121550/cornel-wests-rise-fall-our-most-exciting-black-scholar-ghost

There are TONS (literally TONS) more but I don't want to be here all day. Here is one that's alot more neutral http://nymag.com/news/features/cornel-west-2012-5/ I don't know if it's written by a black or white person. But even pieces of West that try to be flattering wind up noting what a self-centered fame hog he's become.
