Washington Post: "How Cornel West Hurts Bernie Sanders"

[PyaarRevolution]

44. Here's how I see it.

MLK said "Judge a man not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character" and West followed this course of action but too many people in the Black community gave Obama a pass for longer than he should have gotten. Sadly those people opted for judging Obama for the former rather than the latter. Even now, they're not being as critical as they need to be. I'm referring to Amy Goodman having a discussion after BO's SOTU and one of the guests mentioned that the unemployment rate stayed around the same in the Black community as before Obama took office whereas in every other community it went down.
What I'm saying is given that West IS a very accomplished member of the Black community when he criticizes they should consider listening, then research and even write a critique if they like. I don't debate there were people who had racism in their eyes towards Obama disguised as lazy criticism but West DID have valid criticism and you'll note that I questioned the inflammatory comments added in the OP.
