Washington Post: "How Cornel West Hurts Bernie Sanders"

[Empowerer]

48. Why do you keep saying what Black people "should" do? Do you really think that we haven't thought

of any of this but need YOU to tell us? Black people are VERY familiar with Dr. West and have been for decades. It is white people who suddenly discovered him and think that he's such an AMAZING GUY, like their new black friend. But he's not all that amazing, he's not all that special. We know him. You don't. So please spare us the lectures about how we should view him.

That said, you instruct us to "research and even write a critique if we like." Well, that is exactly what Jonathan Capehart did and that's the whole point of this thread, so you're not making any sense at all.

I'm sure your motives are good, but you have a lot to learn. Your knowledge about this issue is very shallow, but your attitude is extremely patronizing.

I suggest that you take the time to learn more about all of this before taking it upon yourself to tell people who know much more about this than you do what we should do and how we should think. I say that in earnest.
