Cornel West: Obama's a "Black Mascot" and "Black Puppet"

Here's how Boston.com begins the story: 

Cornel West, a Princeton University professor and leading black intellectual, is harshly criticizing President Obama, a candidate he once supported but now calls “a black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats.”

In reality Cornel West is a black charlatan who plays on white Liberal guilt in academia,  Basically he's a race hustler just like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, but instead of playing the preacher he plays the academic.



West has it all down: the rapid patter, the pseudo-intellectual gibberish, the hair, the grievance culture. He's upset that Obama hasn't invited him to his parties and doesn't intend for that to stand.

West also recounts personal slights — that his phone calls didn’t get returned, and that he couldn’t get a ticket with his mother and brother to the inauguration.

I bet he gets an invitation to the next party.

By the way, doesn't Cornel look like he's too light skinned to be talking about authentic blackness?
