Related: About this forumCornel West lashes out at civil rights icons after Bernie Sanders suffers resounding South Carolina
Cornel West denigrating successful Black men who have actually made a difference in the Black Community, one after another!
How does he think he got those gigs at those Ivy League Colleges that pay so well? But stepping on the heads of those who paved the way? Really! Talking about a sell out! He needs to look closely in the mirror. On second thought, never mind!
Cornel West lashes out at civil rights icons after Bernie Sanders suffers resounding South Carolina
some of Sanders surrogates havent been so graceful in their concession of defeat after putting up a valiant fight for the African-American vote.
Cornel West told Vice News last week that he feared many of Clintons most prominent African-American supporters had lost their way. The vocal Sanders supporter singled out Congressmen John Lewis and Jim Clyburn repeatedly.

Prof West is a flawed surrogate and the use of West reflects poorly on the Sanders campaign

It is his norm, and has been for years.

"Now, who had lost their way?"
Thank for this, Frenchie
