Does West have no shame?

[Brenda]

Pro. West is at it AGAIN.... I watched Pro.West on the Ed show criticizing, no analyzing President Obama.  It appeared personal and unprofessional.  Dr. West has not taught at a HBCU (that’s what great scholars do who LOVE their people).  I have not known him to teach in inner city schools.  Nor have I known him to outwardly show his love for black women, such has our president has for his beautiful family.  His salty language attacked his blackness because of his white mother.

 

I look into Dr. West’s face and see some whiteness in his light skinned hues.  I am sure that somebody was playing in the corn field somewhere down in his family’s generations.  Most Africa Americans are mixed with white, including me.  And does that make me less black? 

 

Another issue that Dr. West may want to consider is getting his hair cut and changing that suit, especially if he wants to be taken seriously.  The black scarf and bushy hair may work in academia, but not well in environment s that require heighten of levels sensibility.  He looks like the nutty professor---.

 

This is not personal, just felt bad watching him get the beat down on national TV.  Cornel—please tighten up your act.  You should know better.  SHAME on you!

—-The New Invasion of Africa—– byAmiri Baraka

So it wd be this way

That they wd get a negro To bomb his own home

To join with the actual colonial

Powers,Britain,France, add Poison Hillary

With Israeli and Saudi to make certain

That revolution in Africa must have a stopper

So call in the white people who long tasted our blood

They would be the copper, overthrowLibya

With some b******* humanitarian scam

With the negro yapping to make it seem right (far right)

But that’s how Africa got enslaved by the white

A negro selling his own folk, delivering us to slavery

In the middle of the night. When will you learn poet

And remember it so you know it

Imperialism can look like anything

Can be quiet and intelligent

and even have A pretty wife. But in the end, it is insatiable

And if it needs to, it will take your life

So, what’s wrong with President Obama?  What problem could Dr. West possibly have with the President?  Wasn’t the President just what the country needed, just when the country needed it most?  So, what’s the beef, now?

I have watched Dr. West’s interviews with MSNBC and others.  I have read the articles in the papers.  On many levels I agree with Dr. West’s assessment of President Obama.  And, it should be noted that Dr. West is not the only one - black, brown, or white – who is questioning President Obama’s commitment to many of his campaign promises.

But, where I differ with Dr. West is on why the President behaves that way he does.

Dr. West suggests that President Obama “has a certain fear of free black men.”  That President Obama feels “most comfortable with upper middle-class white and Jewish men who consider themselves very smart, very savvy and very effective in getting what they want.”  On the first point, I tend to disagree.  I don’t know if President is afraid of free black men.  But, on the second point, I think Dr. West is absolutely correct. President Obama does feel more comfortable with middle-class white and Jewish men.  This is not because he fears free black men, it’s because he had never really known one.

The President is a Global Nomad – an adult Third Culture Kid.

Third Culture Kids (TCK) are children who are members of expatriate families who reside outside of their passport country, in this case, the United States for varied periods of time. They move from one country to another before coming back to their passport country, to resettle, or to attend university.  In the past, most of these children were from missionary, diplomatic, or military families.  But, increasingly, these children are from regular working-class families. President Obama is such a case.

What is unique about TCKs is that they integrate elements of those cultures where they live with their own birth culture into a third, different and distinct, culture. Because TCKs have developed a unique culture of their own that incorporates elements of varied cultures, they often feel more at home with other TCKs, with no regard for race, color, creed, or nationality. TCKs experience cultural marginality in which they do not fit perfectly into any specific culture where they have lived, but on the other hand, fit comfortably on the edge or margin of any one of them. In essence, they feel at home anywhere and nowhere at the same time. TCKs who feel at home anywhere may exhibit constructive marginality in which they feel different from others, but are able to use their differences constructively. Those who experience encapsulated marginality have a feeling of being trapped or encapsulated by their sense of being different. Therefore, they may feel at home nowhere and might have a sense of falling off the edge of the cultural mainstream.

In essence, ladies and gentlemen, President Obama is a cultural and racial chameleon.

TCKs have several particular strengths.  Because of their trans-cultural/trans-national identity, they can help the world to transcend untranationalism and ethnocentrism. TCKs have the skills to create community from diversity.  Doesn’t this sound like President Obama?  TCKs are generally more self-confident, have more flexible minds, are more active and curious, and have a higher bilingual ability. They are often described as being able to "swim in two cultural oceans." Because of their varied experiences, TCKs can see life in terms greater than one cultural boundary and can explain and express themselves in more than one culture.

But, TCKs also have what some might see as weaknesses, or at least differences.

Because TCKs have been brought up in another culture or several cultures, they may feel no ownership in any. Although when overseas they tend to identify with their passport country, when they return "home," they feel more of an outsider than ever, which often results in different transitions. They may feel out of place and alienated because they do not have an "American identity" and may not hold varied values and behavior norms. As a result, they tend to cope rather than adjust, becoming "a part of" and "apart from" any situation. The TCKs who exhibit encapsulated marginality and fell isolated may have difficulty in maintaining commitments and may avoid solving problems up-front (as they have learned that problems tend to move away). In addition, TCKs may feel unique and may feel that no one understands them.

@ Rashad...Thanks for your comments.  West is the co-founder of the Spiritual Progressive Movement.   The only person who can actualize this agenda is Jesus Christ; therefore, President Obama can do nothing right.  He is not our Savior nor does he have the power to enact this type of change.  West is not transparent and has role confusion.  The only person that West thinks about is West--this is his agenda.  I am not suggesting that Pres. Obama is perfect.  I do not expect prefection, just a sincere effort. What is a real black man?  I don't think West is in the position to talk about being a "real black man."  Where is his real black woman?   How many of those poor little black children has he and Tavis adopted?

  TCK? And here I was thinkin he was just half black and half white. TCK or not he better TCB. Looks like we're tossin a whole lot of "Hamburger Helper" into the pan. Ultimately this kid Barack is givin us a royal fking. This racial thing is just a distraction from what is really going on. B.O. was given the nod by the powers that be for reasons that many of us are not privy to. The meetings that take place behind closed doors are where the decisions that affect our lives take place. B.O. has the dubious privilege of being present at these meetings but his is not the last word. His prime function is to deliver the bad news to "we the people" and to make it as palatable as possible. This constant banter about Dr. West and B.O., whiteness, blackness, is nothing more than an exercise in pointless, non-productive polysyllabic poppycock.

Any power that be can be changed. Life is an ever changing process and if the people can create that synergy that has unlimited power then the concentration can be on the issues that count. A negative stroke is 16 times more powerful than a positive stroke. That being said, those who understand must give sight to the blind, pump truth to the ear with knowledge of self and others.

Chris Hedges' Columns
The Obama Deception: Why Cornel West Went Ballistic

By Chris Hedges

The moral philosopher Cornel West, if Barack Obama’s ascent to power was a morality play, would be the voice of conscience. Rahm Emanuel, a cynical product of the Chicago political machine, would be Satan. Emanuel in the first scene of the play would dangle power, privilege, fame and money before Obama. West would warn Obama that the quality of a life is defined by its moral commitment, that his legacy will be determined by his willingness to defy the cruel assault by the corporate state and the financial elite against the poor and working men and women, and that justice must never be sacrificed on the altar of power.

Perhaps there was never much of a struggle in Obama’s heart. Perhaps West only provided a moral veneer. Perhaps the dark heart of Emanuel was always the dark heart of Obama. Only Obama knows. But we know how the play ends. West is banished like honest Kent in “King Lear.” Emanuel and immoral mediocrities from Lawrence Summers to Timothy Geithner to Robert Gates—think of Goneril and Regan in the Shakespearean tragedy—take power. We lose. And Obama becomes an obedient servant of the corporate elite in exchange for the hollow trappings of authority.

No one grasps this tragic descent better than West, who did 65 campaign events for Obama, believed in the potential for change and was encouraged by the populist rhetoric of the Obama campaign. He now nurses, like many others who placed their faith in Obama, the anguish of the deceived, manipulated and betrayed. He bitterly describes Obama as “a black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats. And now he has become head of the American killing machine and is proud of it.”

“When you look at a society you look at it through the lens of the least of these, the weak and the vulnerable; you are committed to loving them first, not exclusively, but first, and therefore giving them priority,” says West, the Class of 1943 University Professor of African American Studies and Religion at Princeton University. “And even at this moment, when the empire is in deep decline, the culture is in deep decay, the political system is broken, where nearly everyone is up for sale, you say all I have is the subversive memory of those who came before, personal integrity, trying to live a decent life, and a willingness to live and die for the love of folk who are catching hell. This means civil disobedience, going to jail, supporting progressive forums of social unrest if they in fact awaken the conscience, whatever conscience is left, of the nation. And that’s where I find myself now.

“I have to take some responsibility,” he admits of his support for Obama as we sit in his book-lined office. “I could have been reading into it more than was there.




“I was thinking maybe he has at least some progressive populist instincts that could become more manifest after the cautious policies of being a senator and working with [Sen. Joe] Lieberman as his mentor,” he says. “But it became very clear when I looked at the neoliberal economic team. The first announcement of Summers and Geithner I went ballistic. I said, ‘Oh, my God, I have really been misled at a very deep level.’ And the same is true for Dennis Ross and the other neo-imperial elites. I said, ‘I have been thoroughly misled, all this populist language is just a facade. I was under the impression that he might bring in the voices of brother Joseph Stiglitz and brother Paul Krugman. I figured, OK, given the structure of constraints of the capitalist democratic procedure that’s probably the best he could do. But at least he would have some voices concerned about working people, dealing with issues of jobs and downsizing and banks, some semblance of democratic accountability for Wall Street oligarchs and corporate plutocrats who are just running amuck. I was completely wrong.”


West says the betrayal occurred on two levels.

“There is the personal level,” he says. “I used to call my dear brother [Obama] every two weeks. I said a prayer on the phone for him, especially before a debate. And I never got a call back. And when I ran into him in the state Capitol in South Carolina when I was down there campaigning for him he was very kind. The first thing he told me was, ‘Brother West, I feel so bad. I haven’t called you back. You been calling me so much. You been giving me so much love, so much support and what have you.’ And I said, ‘I know you’re busy.’ But then a month and half later I would run into other people on the campaign and he’s calling them all the time. I said, wow, this is kind of strange. He doesn’t have time, even two seconds, to say thank you or I’m glad you’re pulling for me and praying for me, but he’s calling these other people. I said, this is very interesting. And then as it turns out with the inauguration I couldn’t get a ticket with my mother and my brother. I said this is very strange. We drive into the hotel and the guy who picks up my bags from the hotel has a ticket to the inauguration. My mom says, ‘That’s something that this dear brother can get a ticket and you can’t get one, honey, all the work you did for him from Iowa.’ Beginning in Iowa to Ohio. We had to watch the thing in the hotel.
Page 2)

“What it said to me on a personal level,” he goes on, “was that brother Barack Obama had no sense of gratitude, no sense of loyalty, no sense of even courtesy, [no] sense of decency, just to say thank you. Is this the kind of manipulative, Machiavellian orientation we ought to get used to? That was on a personal level.”

But there was also the betrayal on the political and ideological level.

“It became very clear to me as the announcements were being made,” he says, “that this was going to be a newcomer, in many ways like Bill Clinton, who wanted to reassure the Establishment by bringing in persons they felt comfortable with and that we were really going to get someone who was using intermittent progressive populist language in order to justify a centrist, neoliberalist policy that we see in the opportunism of Bill Clinton. It was very much going to be a kind of black face of the DLC [Democratic Leadership Council].”

Obama and West’s last personal contact took place a year ago at a gathering of the Urban League when, he says, Obama “cussed me out.” Obama, after his address, which promoted his administration’s championing of charter schools, approached West, who was seated in the front row.

“He makes a bee line to me right after the talk, in front of everybody,” West says. “He just lets me have it. He says, ‘You ought to be ashamed of yourself, saying I’m not a progressive. Is that the best you can do? Who do you think you are?’ I smiled. I shook his hand. And a sister hollered in the back, ‘You can’t talk to professor West. That’s Dr. Cornel West. Who do you think you are?’ You can go to jail talking to the president like that. You got to watch yourself. I wanted to slap him on the side of his head.


“It was so disrespectful,” he went on, “that’s what I didn’t like. I’d already been called, along with all [other] leftists, a “F’ing retard” by Rahm Emanuel because we had critiques of the president.”

Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to the president, has, West said, phoned him to complain about his critiques of Obama. Jarrett was especially perturbed, West says, when he said in an interview last year that he saw a lot of Malcolm X and Ella Baker in Michelle Obama. Jarrett told him his comments were not complimentary to the first lady.

“I said in the world that I live in, in that which authorizes my reality, Ella Baker is a towering figure,” he says, munching Fritos and sipping apple juice at his desk. “If I say there is a lot of Ella Baker in Michelle Obama, that’s a compliment. She can take it any way she wants. I can tell her I’m sorry it offended you, but I’m going to speak the truth. She is a Harvard Law graduate, a Princeton graduate, and she deals with child obesity and military families. Why doesn’t she visit a prison? Why not spend some time in the hood? That is where she is, but she can’t do it.

“I think my dear brother Barack Obama has a certain fear of free black men,” West says. “It’s understandable. As a young brother who grows up in a white context, brilliant African father, he’s always had to fear being a white man with black skin. All he has known culturally is white. He is just as human as I am, but that is his cultural formation. When he meets an independent black brother, it is frightening. And that’s true for a white brother. When you get a white brother who meets a free, independent black man, they got to be mature to really embrace fully what the brother is saying to them. It’s a tension, given the history. It can be overcome. Obama, coming out of Kansas influence, white, loving grandparents, coming out of Hawaii and Indonesia, when he meets these independent black folk who have a history of slavery, Jim Crow, Jane Crow and so on, he is very apprehensive. He has a certain rootlessness, a deracination. It is understandable.

“He feels most comfortable with upper middle-class white and Jewish men who consider themselves very smart, very savvy and very effective in getting what they want,” he says. “He’s got two homes. He has got his family and whatever challenges go on there, and this other home. Larry Summers blows his mind because he’s so smart. He’s got Establishment connections. He’s embracing me. It is this smartness, this truncated brilliance, that titillates and stimulates brother Barack and makes him feel at home. That is very sad for me.

“This was maybe America’s last chance to fight back against the greed of the Wall Street oligarchs and corporate plutocrats, to generate some serious discussion about public interest and common good that sustains any democratic experiment,” West laments. “We are squeezing out all of the democratic juices we have. The escalation of the class war against the poor and the working class is intense. More and more working people are beaten down. They are world-weary. They are into self-medication. They are turning on each other. They are scapegoating the most vulnerable rather than confronting the most powerful. It is a profoundly human response to panic and catastrophe. I thought Barack Obama could have provided some way out. But he lacks backbone.

"Can you imagine if Barack Obama had taken office and deliberately educated and taught the American people about the nature of the financial catastrophe and what greed was really taking place?” West asks. “If he had told us what kind of mechanisms of accountability needed to be in place, if he had focused on homeowners rather than investment banks for bailouts and engaged in massive job creation he could have nipped in the bud the right-wing populism of the tea party folk. The tea party folk are right when they say the government is corrupt. It is corrupt. Big business and banks have taken over government and corrupted it in deep ways.

“We have got to attempt to tell the truth, and that truth is painful,” he says. “It is a truth that is against the thick lies of the mainstream. In telling that truth we become so maladjusted to the prevailing injustice that the Democratic Party, more and more, is not just milquetoast and spineless, as it was before, but thoroughly complicitous with some of the worst things in the American empire. I don’t think in good conscience I could tell anybody to vote for Obama. If it turns out in the end that we have a crypto-fascist movement and the only thing standing between us and fascism is Barack Obama, then we have to put our foot on the brake. But we’ve got to think seriously of third-party candidates, third formations, third parties.

“Our last hope is to generate a democratic awakening among our fellow citizens. This means raising our voices, very loud and strong, bearing witness, individually and collectively. Tavis [Smiley] and I have talked about ways of civil disobedience, beginning with ways for both of us to get arrested, to galvanize attention to the plight of those in prisons, in the hoods, in poor white communities. We must never give up. We must never allow hope to be eliminated or suffocated.
