Cornel West on Obama: ‘The First Black President Has Become The First Niggerized Black President’
(Real Clear Politics) – Reacting to President Obama’s use of the n-word on Marc Maron’s podcast, Cornel West called him the first “niggerized” president in an appearance on CNN. West criticized Obama as “a person who is afraid and intimidated when it comes to putting a spotlight on white supremacy.”
“Too many black people are niggerized,” West said Monday on CNN. “I would say the first black president has become the first niggerized black president.”
“A niggerized black person is a black person who is afraid and scared and intimidated when it comes to putting a spotlight on white supremacy and fighting against white supremacy,” West explained. “So when many of us said we have to fight against racism, what were we told? ‘No, he can’t deal with racism because he has other issues, political calculations. He’s the president of all America, not just black America.’ We know he’s president of all America but white supremacy is American as cherry pie.”
