My comments still stand. This was long before anyone declared they were running for the office of POTUS.
If Corny is so right - why hasn't he ever run for office. He lived in Princeton. They haven't elected a Republican Mayor in oh since . . .
He couldn't even run for Mayor of Princeton NJ?
Really?
I'd like to quote the wise and sage Stevie Wonder:
We would not care to wake up to the nightmare
That's becoming real life
But when mislead who knows a person's mind
Can turn as cold as ice
Why do you keep on making us hear your song
Tellin' us how you are changing right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
"You haven't done nothin'
"
Understand - blacks aren't a monolith. Understand, some blacks such as myself think
talk is cheap. Unless you have the guts to run yourself - go to hell Corny. You have spoken, wrote, hell - even acted! What legislation did you see over the finsh line?
There are attempts to compare a writer/college professor/actor with POTUS. The better question to pose to me - because West had an 8 year head start in life over Obama - he had every opportunity to get off of his soapbox and get something passed into law somewhere -
Compare Contrast John Lewis' career as an activist and legislator to Cornel West's pretty words.
John Lewis didn't just 'march' or write books and lecture:
And he -
And he also -
Now he says stuff like this -
And wow - he wants us to get on up and get in trouble!
And because of this -
And yeah - this -
I've got a feeling about who Lewis will be endorsing . . .
