But this isn't my position? Also, why are you allowed to disagree with black intellectuals while attacking me for doing so? I agree with Cornel West's views on John Lewis.
And yeah I get it, saying that 'John Lewis endorsing Clinton over Bernie is shameful' is something that you are completely opposed to and I can understand that view, particularly as it is at least more developed than just saying 'how dare you attack such an icon!' as others have. Maybe I should have used far lesser words and simply said I was very disappointed in John Lewis for endorsing corporatist Clinton over Bernie, and THEN went on to say that I found his actual statements to be beneath him.
You never did give your view in any way on the whole other point that I found the 'Bernie-Lewis situation' shameful and beneath him. Just no big deal? Completely fine? One accidental misunderstanding?
Cornel West thinks that big money and corporations and politics corrupts people and causes them to lose the goal of striving to benefit the common man. Do you disagree? Are your heroes infallible or are you allowed to question them?
Victor,
Yeah
man, 'John Lewis makes technically true statements'. I agree. Nothing to see there, apologies.
