Dr. James Joyner picks up on an interview with one of President Obama’s staunchest former allies, but also more recent critics, in the person of Professor Cornel West. Joyner titles his piece, “Cornel West is Crazy.” I’m not going to jump immediately to that point, but I’ve got to tell you, for a “highly sought after” guy with a doctorate from Princeton, this interview is… well, I suppose “remarkable” works.
What’s with the black suit, white shirt, black tie outfit you always wear? Do you have anything else in your closet?
I’ve got four black suits that I circulate, and they are my cemetery clothes — my uniform that keeps me ready for battle.
Your cemetery clothes?
It’s ready to die, brother. If I drop dead, I am coffin-ready. I got my tie, my white shirt, everything. Just fix my Afro nice in the coffin.
So for somebody who dedicated his life to getting Barack Obama elected, what turned things around?

Well, for a lefty like West, I guess it’s not bad...not that great, either.
I used to ‘debate’ this clown on the old AOL ‘rooms.’
he was an easy chump to get twisted in his own BS.
They used to say the Bush 41 used to spend a lot of time writing thank you notes. It doesn’t cost a lot to be polite. But the “capital” reaped from it in terms of loyalty is priceless.
What is this freeper love affair with black radicals?
is it the fog of time for young freepers
King, X, and Cornel....
West is an afrocentric nut
That he is mad at Bro is funny...it’s jealousy because Bro doesn’t give him the Skip Gates love
Obama knows West is nutty...and bad teeth
bttt
Now, the problem is, how to divide five Afghans from three mules and have two Englishmen left over.
Anyone, like me, who has ever tried to make sense out of one of West’s delirious ravings on C-Span or anywhere else knows he’s not playing with a full deck. He’s one of those people who you start backing away from slowly when they corner you and start babbling about their drug-induced experiences.
I like the cut of his jib. Obama dissed the Professor by never once calling to say thanks. Typical of this semi-Kenyan fake black American with zero slave blood.
While trying to make sense of Cornell West during the 1990s, I bought one of his books and swore that I would struggle through it to see if their was any sense in his seemingly confused public utterings, but the thing was just gibberish, I never could make heads nor tails of what he was supposed to be saying.
