By the way ‘Joshua Price’(I am glad you made your post now I know who wrote this article) Cornel West does not speak on Black Superiority but ‘HUMAN Equality’ not just for blacks. What he speaks AGAINST is White Supremacy and Privilege so do I. It does exist. As far as Booker T. Washington I know more than you do on him and his life. I share his views and I do apply them to men like Sharpton. Still the ‘privilege’ still exists… if you allowed yourselves to see and make sure that is doesn’t exist on your watch is another question. Again I still communicate with my friends at my old job and every black out 6 out of the contractors 16 are gone, Honestly. All 10 that remain are white. I don’t fault them for that it’s just how it is.

Darryl, I have read your response and would like to thank you for “not saying that I am stupid!” because I do happen to be a well-informed individual who IS multi-culturally connected. As far as Cornel West is concerned I took your advice and googled “Cornel West the black racist” and didn’t come up with anything that is to say he is racist or has racist views. I did see something from a right-wing columnist who speaks on his thoughts on black liberation theology(This I expected) but, nothing solid. So I also search “cornel West Racist Rant” still nothing. So if you have anything on Cornel West speaking racial hatred let me know and because what I believe you to think of as racist rants for the most part I see as him running through the American facts and statitics that have concerning issues when it comes to races and classes. As far as Sharpton and Jackson I don’t believe they should be as revered as they are. I love them for what they have done, but for what they to do today I have my questions. They have there uses but those uses should be used all cross racial injustice instead of just for blacks. Though I understand why they would be stuck in that mindstate given the era in which they fought through one does have to question if they are now just working a niche. I aslo viewed the article in which you referred to and I happen to remember this case. I remember feeling like although the Knoxville case did not have any evidence of hate crime.. because the same and far worst has be done to victims of their own race, I felt that black leaders should have been all over this to show that we are not just for ourselves, but humanity. Even though I mentioned nothing on crime in my post. Being black does not make you dangerous as this article suggests! I have lived in a black neighbor for years and have not been a witness or heard of any criminal acts. Poverty has more to do with it than anything. Here is an article for you: http://www.lipmagazine.org/~timwise/colorofdeception.html
The man who wrote this article name is ‘Tim Wise’(google HIM) and he goes strictly off FACTS… and argues against the flawed assumptions behind these crimes.(I referred to all your suggestions hopefully you will do the same.) No, the mainstream media does not do their job well and are cowards when it comes to racial criticisms and crimes like this one they ARE cowards. Though let’s face it the critics hardly ever do it respectfully. I could argue the negative depictions of blacks and hispanics I see all over the local news versus the many positive events that I know that are going on all the time in the black/hispanic communities. But for what, I know it to be an issue even if you don’t. I certainly KNOW that most do not believe that blacks are victimized in any way and the main reason is because you don’t want to believe and won’t look into the data THAT I provided and see that it is valid because you want to continue to be in denial. I have white friends that feel this way but the most of them do see it as a valid concern. By the way my white friends that wish to remain in denial I still consider friends. They are all still at a job that we all worked but I no longer have. (Look into unemployment statistics guys) If you are wondering yes I am black. A black man that feels like this world will not advance if we are not doing it together!

Darryl: Great points directed at Steven. I honestly don't understand why Cornel West isn't given more scrutiny. The man preaches nothing but Malcom X, Black Panther, black superiority. How is that not racist? By the way, I just did a little research on Cornel West and I found something very interesting. Anyone care to know what President Obama thinks of Cornel West? Well have a look: Steven, I would encourage you and the other libs to listen to my interview with the author of a fantastic biography of Booker T. Washington. Now there is someone for not only black Americans to admire and emulate, but every American.

Steven, have you ever listened to Cornel West? I asked because any person who has listened to this black mans racist rants would not have to ask such a stupid question. I am not saying you are stupid! I am just saying that you are a liberal or a misinformed conservative and I would insert into my browser any term like “Cornel West the black racist” or any like term and see what pops up. You can sub any name before “the black racist” like big Al “show me the money” Sharpton, or Jesse “it’s not my bastard child” Jackson or Watts and see what turns up.
Steven, please don’t spew the “black” victim stuff because most do not believe that blacks are the victims of anything other than they fall for the democratic bull and they will always be the victim according to the democrats and the liberal media but the facts are the facts and it is that whites are 10 times or more likely to be the victims of blacks.
Please check the facts Steve and return with a clearer mind of black racist and white victims of black hate.
Please read the following to learn a little about the liberal media and how they dumb down white Americans.

The controversy about Michael Steele and Rush Limbaugh (who I don’t really particularly listen to anymore) is more than about Rush. When the liberal talk show host said that CPAC looked like a bunch of Nazis Michael Steele nodded in agreement.

Some said his nodding wasn’t in agreement with that statement but still at the very least he was quiet and did not speak out against that outrageous statement.

This is more than about Rush the person. This was about the speech he gave and if you listened to the speech and agree with it then it is not only Rush but you, and all other grassroots conservatives that Michael Steele has rebuked in the harshest of terms.

Well, if that is the way the “leader” of the GOP feels about me then I say no, no, no, not God Bless the GOP, GOD DAMN the GOP. It isn’t the party I thought I knew!
