Salutes to brother West aka dude with the 'fro from the Rainbow Coalition. Lot of people may be afraid to speak out against Obama cuz of his perfect image and how much the people love and adore him. So it takes courage to speak ones truth even when it is unfavorable towards Obama.
I didn't even watch the inauguration cuz I just can no longer stomache the fuckery.
MOTHAFUCKA PLEASE!!! Cornell West & that bitch Tavis Smiley have been on some bullshit ever since President Obama took office & didn't directly pander to their agendas. Tavis has been pissed ever since the President bowed out of speaking at The State of The Black Union conference in '08 because he was campaigning; that bastard got in his feelings after that because he didn't get a 24/7 pass to the White House like he thought he deserved. And other than not having his agenda & profile elevated under a black President, I don't know what Cornell West's issue is, other than being a salty mah-fucker; it seems like Tavis went in like a bitch & he decided to take up for him. These assholes wanted Obama to be the President of Black America first; any idiot looking for that shit to happen would be looking at President John McCain right now.
Then this argument about how he didn't do enough or live up to you or other's expectations...just what in the fuck were you expecting? This man accomplished a lot of his agenda while dealing with an obstructionist Republican majority in Congress. This shit about he didnt do enough is sheer fucking ignorance. Cats need to stop reiterating media headlines as 100% fact and research this shit...and stop blindly agreeing with & regurgitating Cornell West's bullshit rhetoric...dude does champion our cause some of "his" time, unfortunately, not this time. This time around, this nigga is trying promote himself & taking up for Tavis Smiley, who, by the way is sponsored & funded by Walmart...his State of The Black Union - paid for by Walmart; that bullshit tour he & Cornell West did after Obama was elected when they said he wasn't black enough - another by product of Walmart funding (by the way, a cat born in Kansas, raised in Hawaii & Indonesia, has a Harvard Law degree, is a Pofessor of Constitutional Law, who chooses to move to the South side of Chicago & becomes a community organizer in a black neighborhood rather than practice law & get paid isn't black enough or hasn't sacrificed or done enough to please some people...damn...seems like he's "blacker"than most people criticizing him for it; I mean, what else does a brotha have to do). Now, back to Cornell West & his bitch, Tavis...these two jokers are getting paid for this bullshit & nobody's checking them on it, yet they criticize someone else who's trying to something right...man, fuck the both of those self righteous clowns...
Meanwhile, President Obama got crucified for universal healthcare, wanting education reform, tax reform, the auto bailout, so on etc....then a cat like you comes in with some half assed bullshit about he didnt deserve a Nobel Peace Prize for wars he started but you can't name one...not unless vacating Iraq was a new war...and you can't get that shit straight and stand by it...SMMFH...
Bottom line is you're ignorant & don't know what the fuck you're talking about...
And Cornell West has lost a lot of respect from a lot of black people in general with his crabs in the barrel attitude...before that nigga talks about what the President is doing for us, he needs to ask himself, what has he done for us lately?
And you need to educate yourself on what's really going on or shut the fuck up!!!
