you more charitable than me, b/c west has explicitly made his career since '07 / '08 about shitting on obama and, in the midst of the greatest ever and most pervasive political and social example of white ppl doing white things, decides to go at TNC neck. shit is transparently salty based upon the other shit cornel be on.

TNC has grown into the role of a public black intellectual -- take or leave that on it's own merits. it'd be different if this was a clapback, and tnc came at him first.

idk if it was Malcolm or someone else who said "Harvard has ruined more good niggas than bad whiskey", but by and large, blackety black ni&&as let cats like dr west, et al, cook from the ivy ivory towers.

if we really pulling cards he should be chairing a dept at Morgan or Howard.



peace & blessings,
