“I’ve come to see it as one of my primary missions in life to get Black people see West for who and what he is”

If that’s the case, you might want to start proofreading your articles first. Adding a little substance to your argument wouldn’t hurt either. This article serves more as a skeptic’s view of education than a take-down of Cornel West. Your problem is not with him, it’s with higher education. You still haven’t said why you are targeting him specifically. I suspect you really don’t have a good reason.

Eric, this is the dumbest S$@WQ I have ever ready so far on this site, next to Dirty Little Secrets part 1.

Really? Let me ask you this kid, have you read his books? I have read two of his major works and his philosophy has been consistent and persistent.

We can debate the merits of education all day, but the reality is I would not go to a mechanic and expect him to fix my busted knee, and I would go to a doctor to fix my car. Point being, when you acquire a PHD you can poo poo it all you want but it is a tremendous achievement, takes a high level of commitment and persistence and YES it does indicate that in certain areas you ARE smarter than most. So why demean a PHD like West who has consistently being saying and doing the same things PRIOR to Obama even being a state senator?

If you disagree with his philosophy or approach that is cool, that is part of being in the public eye. However to disrespect the man and not even articulate what part of his philosophy you are really against makes you look like and idiot hater.

As we blacks fight against each other – the tea party remains undivided and China becomes the new colonialist in Africa – we have become a pathetic people.

So West helped to elect Bush because he tried to go a different route than the sheep to slaughter mentality of black democrats. No. I helped to elect Bush because I hated Al Gore. People with sense vote their minds. Not because someone like you makes them feel they are traitors to the race.
So he is dragging us under the bus by opposing your chosen candidate. Really? Just by talking. What has the democrat party been doing for us with their policies that break up back families(welfare, gay marriage), take away jobs by supporting illegal immigration, create learned helplessness through entitlements, and education that excuses mediocrity. I hate West too along with Michael Dyson, two idiots who thought Tupac was philosophical. Tavis got misguided and could not self correct. I don’t blame him for not supporting Obama, just that he got caught up as a hater by people like you in the way he responded. What has Obama done for you, besides share your race? I’d like to know. I will keep changing my vote at every election until I find a politician that befits me.
