Ever since he announced that he was running, leaders in the African American community have been extremely critical of Barack Obama.. Many of the loudest voices have come from the black intelligentsia.
In a new article posted at TheRoot.com, Spelman history professor WIlliam Jelani Cobb digs into several of the academy's biggest Obama haters including Cornel West, who he says has "gone soft around the waste." WOW!! I am not sure how many of you Internet thugs actually are interested in this type of stuff, but this article is mad interesting to me.

I respect Cornel West to the fulliest. When he has an issue, he always does his research first, sites his sources and also will throw his personal opinion in the mix. But Tavis Smiley can eat a d*ck. Ever since he got dropped from BET, it seems like this dude has always something negative to say about any black male trying to either get their shine on or get their $$$$. Tavis is like the new age Uncle Tom. He will say anything to keep the little limelight he has. Tavis eat a d*ck.
And Biko, pipe that sh*t down. Aint hardly no internet thuggs commenting on Sohh.. It seems that the majority of the repeat commentors have a legitimate 9-5 and handles their biz just like the next man. Just cause we like to get on here and talk a lil sh*t every now and then, don't classify us as internet thuggs. And just cause this is a hip-hop based web site, don't just think that every single person who reads the blogs on this site are only into rap and cant articulate themselves when speaking of politics. But much respect to you though cause, you are like the only blogger who post shit about politics.

THE RAZORBACK EATS REPUBLICANS FOR BREAKFAST AND SHYTS OUT JOHN MCCAINS AND THEN IMPREGNATES PALIN
@Clo-fresh good point...although there were a lot of people in the comments section today talking about getting people "done."
what dr. west doesn't understand is that obama is not running for president of only black people but he's running for president of the united states. not just us black people face problems you know
Yea, its like I'm tired of hearing how Obamas "just some white man in black skin" or whateva. I mean there is nothing wrong with being proud. I am proud of a black man getting nominated. I mean let's be real, its a VERY hard thing to do. Just the fact that he's black, we all know that he has to go through the "Am I black enough?" bullshit. Its like our people expect him to be "DOWN". but he can't be down with "hood" all the time. He has to get the "white" vote too. I'm voting for Obama, not because he is a BLACK man, but because he is someone I believe who can bring some change to America.
Bunch of hypocrites, the black community. Fact: the only reason he's in this position is because the "white community" (= those not black) voted in enough numbers to elevate him past prospective democratic nominee. Earlier on, when it came time to push for Barack to get into office, black people wanted to be skeptical and cynical - asking questions of the man the wouldn't ask anyone else. Now he's in a position where he could win, and there are still those who bring up inappropriate and petty issues:
"Just a fake ass Jessie Jackson"
"Is Obama black enough?"
"Why isn't Obama reppin' the black community?"
"Why does Obama kiss white ass so often?"
God. Let the man work. If you haven't noticed within the music industry and in business in general, those who tailor their business, tactics, and mannerisms to accommodate black people usually lose out in the end. Barack HAS to cater to those with voting power to win. Black people are too tied up in stupid philosophies (STOP SNITCHIN'...even if the serial killer's next door) to make much more of a difference than they already do. Its embarrassing and its a clear sign where black people, as a whole, have their priorities...In appearance. It's almost prophetic. The same way that blacks don't invest money into assets that'll bring them money, instead buying shit that doesn't bring them money; they expect Barack to do the same. Doing shit that won't clinch him the presidency but make him look good to his black brothers and sisters - black brothers and sisters who didn't know who the fuck he was before this election process began.
Let the man do what the hell he has to do. Please.
Damn Red Bull...
I'm glad that an established black academic is finally putting these high brow coons in their place. Tavis Smiley and Cornell West are the kinds of bullshit artists that people like Carter G. Woodson and James Baldwin warned us about decades ago. Tavis Smiley and Cornell West are a couple of "miseducated" negros who continually play the devil's advocate to defend black conservative beliefs. What's worse is they endorse "so called smart rappers" like Lupe Fiasco and people like him a platform to perpetuate a quasi-liberal political facade. At the end of the day, these niggas is uninformed and out of touch. They look for opportunities to strike out against other black americans in order to make themselves look like intellectuals. Well I'm a black MBA degree holder and sometime along the way, I ceased being a miseducated negro. I suggest Lupe go back to school, Cornell West spend more time with people of other beliefs, and Tavis Smiley to break down and actually read a book.
Man too much hate on Obama. I agree with CSRealist, let him do what he gotta do. America is made up of more than just white people, or black people, or whatever. He is proposing change for the good of the country, not just one race. I'm from Canada, and I personally think that if Obama becomes president, Canadians will benefit from that. Obama has good policies, and hopefully that will reflect on Canada.
Biko, thanks for posting the article. it was way better than the half a paragraph of silly opinion you've been posting (I hope you have other responsibilities outside writing this sh*t because if THIS blog is the only thing you have to do, then you are definitely a HUGE slacker...but anyway) that article made some amazing points. The best point is the only think I have to say about Dr. West and the rest:
"Why it is that a group of progressives would spend about 40 minutes discussing how to critique Barack and virtually no time discussing how to elect him?"
--Boom. Done. Period. Leave it at that and hope to god they shut the f*ck up.
Oh and RazorbackDeezy needs to get the f*ck off that library computer he is using and stop wasting everyone's time. Broke ass e-thug. Shut up. You come up on here ignorant as hell...like Riley Freeman from Boondocks. You know that Thugnificent was a joke, right? He was making fun of your ass, I assure you.
I'm pretty sure you mean "Waist'.
WAIST you dumb ass WAIST!
Crab Mentality once again..
