Cornel West: ‘Ferguson Signifies the End of the Age of Barack Obama’



Mediaite.com:
Professor Cornel West appeared on CNN International this afternoon to give his take on Ferguson, and said right at the outset, “Ferguson signifies the end of the age of Obama. It’s a very sad end. We began with tremendous hope and we end with great despair.”

He went on to cite a “Jim Crow criminal justice system” that doesn’t seek justice for young black and brown people, and said adamantly there is both a race and a class war going on against that group in America right now.

CNNI anchor Hala Gorani asked West why he’s “so harsh” on the president over these issues when, she put forth, he’s launched initiatives to help young black men. West said that Obama chose a “Wall Street presidency” and a “drone presidency,” but never gave even “one speech that focuses on the Jim Crow criminal justice system that’s been targeting poor black and brown youth.”
Barack Obama, a man who as POTUS has gone out of his way time and time again to help the gays and illegal immigrants, while ignoring the base that continues to give him unwavering support (and assisted him the most to become Pres.)--Black people, will get a pass on the Ferguson verdict. And that's because black people in this country in this are too ignorant to understand the irony of electing a Godless, half-black, corny, narcissist, white-liberal ass kisser to be in charge on the deal that one day he might actually do them a favor one day. But instead, for black folks in America under the leadership of Obama, things have just gotten worse and worse...with no end in sight.
