Cry us a river Tavis:

When Cornel West recently spoke to The Huffington Post about media coverage of African American issues, the Princeton professor argued that President Obama is avoiding journalists who’ve offered tough critiques of his administration, such as PBS host Tavis Smiley. “Obama won’t touch him with a 10-foot pole,” West said.

On Wednesday, Smiley backed up West’s viewpoint during a C-SPAN sit-down with him to discuss their 16-city poverty tour.

“Prior to his being elected, he came on my radio programs and TV programs with regularity,” Smiley said. “Once he got elected and my critique of him — about holding him accountable to various things didn’t sit so well with him or the people around him — he has not, at this point, come on my TV or radio programs one time since he’s been in this White House.”

Smiley said that Obama, whom he’s known for years, “is the first president in my professional career that hasn’t invited me to the White House.”

Barack Obama packed the Apollo Theater in Harlem last night and here are a few quotes from his speech:

“Telling the American people what we think they want to hear instead of what they need to hear just won’t do” in this election, Obama said at the historic theater, just down the street from Bill Clinton’s office.

“I’m not running because I’m trying to fulfill some long-held plans. I’m not running because I somehow think this is owed to me. I never expected to be here. Avoiding answering tough questions because we’re worried they might not be popular just won’t do. Poll-testing positions because we’re worried about what Mitt [Romney] or Rudy [Giuliani] might say about this just won’t do.” Continue »

There was a Negro fest recently by Cornel West, Julianne Malveaux, and Tavis Smiley where the pseudo intellectuals took time to blast Barack Obama’s DNC nomination speech. Jesse “I want to cut off his nuts” Jackson is not the only negro who knows his time is up, Tavis Smiley and Cornel West know their time is up too.

Click here to watch the video.

That old school ‘Afro-negro’ intellectualism is not going to cut it anymore and these hardcore chitlin eatin’ negroes are fighting back. They don’t understand that BO wants to win, that’s the prize. They would rather have Obama speaking at a Jena 6 rally defending some thugs than being Leader of the Free World. SMH. Go sit your ho asses down!

Cornel West is the same guy who (with Jesse Jackson) made whether he was going to teach at Harvard or Princeton a national racial issue. SMH. West also criticized BO for not marching or speaking for Jena 6. Tavis criticized BO for not coming to his “State of the Black Union’ meeting. Next thing you know these negroes will want BO in a bow tie with some Final Calls at the next rally.

Obviously, these negroes are jealous or stupid.

We say both.
