Should Bernie Sanders campaign with Cornel West?

[Number23]

29. If you can get your hands on a link, could you post it re: the Coates smack talk

where he disses my girl Toni Morrison too?? The NOBEL PRIZE winner in literature and one of the most magnificent writers ever in the history of American literature? This I gotta see.

What I find so interesting about West's tactics lately is that he maligns Obama in the most racially charged language, but that language is always, always, ALWAYS couched in language that Obama is "too white." Look at the shit he's said about Obama "fearing free black men" and that he doesn't know who he is because of "how he was raised" ergo his white mama and family.

So it tickles me to no end that black folks have pretty universally dismissed Cornell for this bullshit but a handful of white "liberals" are so invested in trying to take Obama down (and using a black man to do it is simply too enticing for them to resist) that they are willing to overlook that the person is actually sliming and putting down THEM in order to take their target down. It literally tickles me to no end.
