Cornel West and Al Sharpton Fight

Hope you're sitting down for this one!



*deep breath*

There are a few reasons why I didn't watch this mess on MSNBC yesterday.
One-I was late getting home from THE WORSHIP CENTER. <(click for website)
Two-The Heat & Celtics were playing.
Three- It was Sunday at The Masters.
And finally
Four- I knew it would be the train wreck it turned out to be.
You see, every few months or so, the usual suspects have a forum, conference, summit to discuss a BLACK AGENDA. They sit at a round table, and try to out wit each other with perky catch phrases and one liners and the one with the biggest applause wins. For years, I've watched the Tavis Smiley(s), Al Sharpton(s) and Cornel West(s) of the world TALK about a BLACK AGENDA. When Clinton was in office, they tried to make him dance to their music by telling him blacks are the ones who voted for him. He danced and was dubbed the First Black President. (I do like Bill Clinton by the way.)
When Bush took office they tried to make him dance but he ignored them and was labeled a racist. (I don't think the man was a racist. An idiot? YES! But not a racist)
Then President Obama took office and they thought this was the golden opportunity to finally get their beloved BLACK AGENDA passed. Now that it's not happening "he's not doing enough for black people".
(I still have no clue what a black agenda is.)
It always the same people with the same demands and the same complaints. And for some reason, many of you cheer this kind of bafoonery on.

    "They're speaking for all black folks"

    "Barack Obama needs to do more to help blacks."

   " Cornel West is telling it like is."

Umm....No they're not- Do what?- No he ain't.....

If Cornel West spent less time trying to criticize the President for not talking about racial profiling and telling these young dudes to stop riding dirty, then I might listen to him.
If Cornel West focused on shutting down payday loan places and teaching people about saving money, then they wouldn't fall prey to high interest rates that lead to some of those Wall St. bankers he's criticizing making the millions they made.

Instead, he blames the President for not pushing forth a BLACK AGENDA!

Meanwhile, there's hell breaking out in the Middle East.
The tea party is running the GOP.
The government barely averted a shutdown.
States are passing Arizona type Immigration Laws.
Some states are making it legal for college students to carry a gun (ON CAMPUS).
The list goes on and on and people like Cornel West thinks the President should be focused on a BLACK AGENDA?
 No wonder his radio show with Tavis Smiley is a flop! Maybe he should try his hand at comedy because his act has offically turned into a joke! I wish those of you who believe in what he's selling would challenge him and ask what the hell is he doing besides TALKING about what the President should be doing! Maybe he should be told that he's asking the President to do what he and members of the CBC should be doing. Until then, maybe he should stay off television and stopping making a mockery of himself and the people he "supposedly" represents.
