Dr. Cornel West has a different perspective of President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder’s recent comments. Watch and listen before you comment. What are your thoughts? Do you agree? Disagree? Is Cornel West a hater of the Obama administration or is he simply a speaker of unsanitized truth?
Here are a few quotes from his interview on Democracy Now:
- President Obama is a global George Zimmerman.
- What kind of moral authority are you bringing? You got a two million dollar bounty on Assata Shakur, she’s innocent.
- Let’s expose the hypocrisy and mendacity and be true to the legacy of Martin.
- Why hasn’t the New Jim Crow been a priority in the Obama administration? Why has not the New Jim Crow been a priority for Eric Holder? If what they are saying is something they feel deeply, if what their saying is that they themselves and their children have the same status as brother Jamal and sister Latesha and brother Ray Ray and sister Jarelle then why has that not been a center part of what they do to ensure that there’s fairness and justice?
