You may think that, but he doesn't say the same things. Shouldn't the people of said person's race determine whether they are a token or not? The way he talks about Obama like a dog and then goes to Joe scarborough or any white man that could give 2 shits about black people calling them his brother and smiling and laughing. Does the media ever talk about poverty, no, because they don't care about black poverty. They just love to see Cornell and Tavis trash Obama. And those tokens will for sure do it.
