Cornel West On CNN: Herman Cain Needs To ‘Get Off The Symbolic Crack Pipe’

video
» 252 comments

On Monday’s CNN Newsroom with Suzanne Malveaux, Cornel West slammed Herman Cain‘s comments that racism didn’t matter that much, saying the Godfather’s Pizza CEO should “Get off the symbolic crack pipe and acknowledge the evidence is overwhelming.”

“Black people have been working hard for decades,” West, a professor at Princeton University, said. “I think he also knows that if brother Anthony Davis, a brother who was just put to death, were a white Wall Street banker brother, that the response in the nation would have been very different as opposed to being a poor black brother. That’s just one small example, one very small example of racism still at work holding people back.”

West added that Cain was exhibiting “mean-spiritedness toward black people fighting for their lives in this ugly economy.”

Tavis Smiley also disputed the validity of Cain’s comments, saying “There’s no comparison in history for any president that’s had a budget the size of the Secret Service budget now just to protect Barack Obama and we’re talking about whether or not he has a point about racism in America.”

Cain had earlier told Candy Crowley, “I don’t believe there is racism in this country today that holds anybody back in a big way. Is there some… are there some elements of racism? Yes.”

    I saw this live this morning. You couldn’t watch a more unhinged bunch.

    CNN – If you would ever like to increase your ratings, try not to have so many liberal commentators on your site. Just a thought.

    Cornel, if Troy hadn’t violently murdered a policeman he’s still be alive. 

    They HATE Herman because he refuses to play the victim.  People like Cornel, Al Sharpton, and the rest thrive on victimization.  They can’t stand it when someone refuses to tow the liberal line.  I pray they keep talking.

    Notice how Mediaite is making sure EVERYONE knows what Cain said.

    It seems the more Herman Cain gets popular, the more the left needs to trot out these black liberals… Even Van Jones is making a comeback… See the left has say look ” We have smart black people who hate Mr. Cain ” . Its like my dad can beat up your dad… Childness tomfoolery at best

  • Anonymous

    The liberal media spin machine has been out in full force ever since Cain started rising in the polls:

    1st – Larry O’Donnell attempted (and failed) to smear Cain and put an end to his campaign.
    2nd – CNN has Cain on this past weekend and attempts to get him to say that America is racist
    3rd – Harry Belafonte says Cain is bad for the black community
    4th – Cornel West and Tavis Smiley basically say Cain isn’t authentically black and that he is talking crazy talk.
    The liberal media DOES NOT want to see a Black conservative succeed because that ERASES the whole GOP = Racist meme. It’s apparent by their racial onslaught in just the past few days – coincidentally at the same time Cain’s poll numbers start rising. 
    Why do these self proclaimed ‘black leaders’ need to be on national TV saying how Cain isn’t a real black man? This. is. DESPICABLE! 

  • Anonymous

    Liberals and blacks are going crazy over thinking their is a black man who does not buy into the entitlement agenda. Cain actually believes in hard work and education is the best avenue for people instead of handouts!
    Amazing huh!

  • Norbit

    As far as Lefties go, I like Cornell.
    He’s wrong most of the time, but he’s passionate about his errors.

    So Cornell, 70% single-person household childbirths in the black community!
    60 years of the Democratic Welfare State has condemned the black family unit to oblivion.

    Before the 1960′s Democratic Welfare State, the black community was 70% two-parent, and statistically moving into middle class.

    The family unit has provided the support for every other demographic group to rise through social and economic classes; but the Democratic Welfare State promoted behavior targeted to the black inner city communities that have devastated the black family unit.

    Cornell…TALK ABOUT THAT!

  • Michelle

    Well to be fair, they make their living off of the race war, so they’d be shooting themselves in the foot.  Cain is what they fear the most, a successful black man who made it on his own. They are terrified he will give others the courage to stop believing they need the gov’t to take care of them in order for them to make it.  They have to silence him at all costs.

    ““Get off the symbolic crack pipe and acknowledge the evidence is overwhelming.””

    I agree with everything West says but I wish he wouldn’t use racist imagery to convey it.

    Herman Cain called out these guys’ bullshit. Look at all the racism that Herman Cain has to deal with from the bigot that’re in the leftist media, and his popularity is surging. Unlike these hateful racist people who can’t stand when a black person doesn’t know their place, REGULAR people evaluate someone based on the content of their character (no where have I heard that before?) instead of the color of their skin.

    The quality-of-life was demonstrably better with two-parent families the norm, despite the racism; and no one is arguing that the racism which existed shouldn’t have been obliterated – as a matter of human principle.

    Thank you for your response, Norbit.

    Certainly you can see, though, how African-American rage and discontent–a culture that informs music, literature, and fashion–emerged in the sixites?

    The challenge for blacks was how to stop the racism. And how does that happen without  resistance, with a refusal to obey and capitulate to the oppression of the day.

    To suggest that the two-parent family unit was better denies the context in which black families were destroyed–via the wider cultural revolution (sex, drugs, and violence) of the sixties.

    That period was immensely destabilizing for whites; for blacks, it obliterated an already fragile and emerging construct: black freedom.

    This is very complicated stuff, and I’m sure I seem like a big time cracker a$$hole for trying to piece it together here.

    I welcome both correction and clarification from others.

    It doesn’t explain why black families were so disproportionately effected by the sex, drugs and violence.
    - a disintegrating family support unit, and a generational dependency on government does.

    The correlations between the expansion of Democratic Welfare largesse to black inner-city communities, and the decline in two-parent black households over the past 50 years is undeniable.

  • Tim Tebow

    Let’s look at “white flight,” that phenomenon in which whites left their neighborhoods because a black family would move in.

    That first black family was of the financial means to afford to live in a middle-class, white neighborhood. These were the ‘play-ball,’ ‘get along,’ hard-working families to which Herman Cain might have belonged.

    So what happens?

    White fear and racism send the whites fleeing. The blacks–who are probably culturally akin to the whites from the standpoint of values, beliefs, etc. (middle class, ‘hard work,’ Christian) now live in a neighborhood that is rapidly devalued. Can they move? Where? Back to the South?

    Poor folks from the south–Great Migration here–move in and can afford what is now a rapidly deteriorating negihborhood. Those first middle-class black families see their home value destroyed–and all they worked for.

    Now they are stuck in a poor neighborhood with the sixties begining.

    Now that family’s culture undergoes a radical upheaval in cities like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Detroit.

    The culture of the dying rust-belt city becomes an African-American nightmare of poverty and familial dislocation via the cornacopia of the sixties (sex, drugs, and Vietnam war violence)

    Black lib leaders have to keep their people dumb so that they can get them to vote for the politicians that put money in the black leaders pocket. They could care less for their welfare. Take a look at every district that has been held by a black politician. They’re poor and run down districts. The only ones getting rich is the black politician. Obama won’t even go into black districts because he could care less about them. However when he needs their vote he literally drops his G’s and talks down to them. He knows that black people will vote for him because hes black. However he’s only black when it suits him.

    Considering that “blackness” originated as a construct within a system implemented on certain people to hold them down, and that through the years that very system has deemed plenty of offspring the likes of President Obama unworthy of whiteness (see the one drop rule), there is no choice but to acknowledge President Obama as the first black president, because the very system which created that notion has deemed him so.

    Look…If I was there when those frat boys beat you up, you wouldn’t have this chip on your shoulder about college in America.

    Frankly, I agree that college is a scam in this country, but what can you do when BUSINESS infects every facet of American life? Kids are afraid NOT to go to college.

    So many kids are caught in the college scam, but there’s no alternative. We can’t all be engineers, like you Tony, and all of the blue-collar jobs have been sent to Asia and Latin America.

    Remember? The American worker is greedy and overpaid–but that’s not true of American CEOs, right, Tony?

    I’m sorry but “white flight” did not cause an increase in single parent households.  

    For generations ethnic groups have been able to advance and to improve their circumstances within the confines of their own neighborhoods.

    What increased single parent households in the black community was a break down in sexual mores and the welfare programs that assisted young women in acquiring govt subsidized housing and a check that made them a target to predatory men in a way that would not have happened had they been compelled to live in the home of their parents.

    The same thing happened to poor whites.  It may be easy for Hollywood celebrities and the upper class to have a baby out of wedlock, but such a loosening of stabilizing societal structures (marriage), plays havoc on the underclass.

    No, it’s just that people don’t agree with you. I know being on the Left, this seems to confuse you – you’re used to thinking the only thoughts in the room. The appearance of opinions that don’t agree with yours, while scary at first… we find, makes for better discussions and sharing of truths. But we realize that your first reactions are to censor it, bully, call names, and suggest conspiracies. That’s the fascist in you – let it fly! You see, you only ever were 10% of the population; and the rest of us are catching on fast. You used to keep the world all nice and cozy for your leftishness with the “fairness doctrine”, controlling all the news media, controlling the creative media, controlling the schools. But after the fairness bs fell, and talk radio blossomed, and FOX news decided to report the things you didn’t, and now this internet thing allows anyone to share ideas (gasp) that aren’t Left… well, being Left isn’t that much fun anymore, is it? Lon gone are the days when a simple Bushitler reference made them laugh at the cocktail parties. Now you have to work to make your arguments. Life is tough. Deal with it.

    I don’t claim causation, Cecelia. I merely invite you to consider the range of challenges that influenced the culture of the sixites with respect to black Americans.

    You, arrogantly, want to assign blame to the Great Society alone–no doubt for your own political opportunities. That’s too bad…because niether of us really knows the whole story. Neither of us can say what it is like to be black in this country. You ignore slavery–and that is telling.

    This statement of your is particularly galling:

    “What increased single parent households in the black community was a break down in sexual mores and the welfare programs that assisted young women in acquiring govt subsidized housing and a check that made them a target to predatory men in a way that would not have happened had they been compelled to live in the home of their parents.”

    Yeah but its what you read. I can read 1000 books about dookie and become an expert in dookie but, in the end, its all just dookie. 

    West’s brand of race-trading marxism used to soft-sell in the past as some sort of legitimate “thinking”. But the emergence of Obama has raised his profile and made him less popular as he becomes more known… and he’s correctly recognized the appearance of Cain as a mortal threat to his whole business.

    This is the amazing thing Cain is going to do – he’ll have to do, I think – Cain is going to bust up the whole Jackson/Sharpton/Obama/Wright race trading black liberation theology race card playing white guilt industry. As a whitie, I’ve grown up my whole life with this assumption that I’m some kind of racist – I’m tired of it. Cain is standing up for me against these goons, and I’m happy to hear it. They’ve never been challenged this openly or brazenly before. They’ve never had to really publicly defend their BS. If Cain is the nominee, this will be fun.

    Whoa, whats going on here I see a bunch of post saying this is why blacks did this or did that, this is what they face and this is what they will do.

    Listen you are taking a macro prospective to try to explain the history and behavior of black people as if they are single collective mind instead of individuals with varying goals, intelligence, ambitions and opinions. 
    True I’ve also heard black describe whites the same way which is a common problem when some one of a different race describes another.

    The fact is unless you are black you can never truly understand, but think about this environment is the key to all behavior so if so many black people feel racism is still a huge factor, I think it’s safe to assume they have some reason for coming to this conclusion. 

    My prospective is this….

    Growing up your going to school where your taught “This is the greatest nation in the world” you feel pride your happy to be here, slowly but surely you began to understand that hey we are not treated the same, you began to feel foreign and notice that Whoa this isn’t right at all.
    Fast Forward

    Now being a network engineer, most of my coworkers are white, I can remember once while working At Lockheed soon after graduating college which is located at a huge Air Force base, the guy said “Hollis man whats up, I notice that every time you see a black person your both acknowledge each other and most times stop and talk, do you not like whites” of course he was joking but he was right, and I said laughingly “Look, to be honest we’re just happy to see each other, you feel so alone in places like this and look at the people working here, most of them are uneducated biker types” and he stopped and said “yea I kinda see what you mean, they mainly hire good ole boys here” and i was so happy that he saw and and kinda got what i was saying.

    Trust me when I say until you walk in someones shoes you can never truly understand.

    I will say this, just like with anything else say a cop or corrections officer, after you had to put up racism to a point it’s kinda easy to treat all whites as racist kinda like cops begin to treat everyone like criminals it becomes a default defensive stance.

  • Anne

    The thing is that Cain wants votes from the very people he called “brainwashed.”  In doing so, he was speaking for some of his political allies who think the same thing but don’t say it publicly out of fear of being called “racists.”  He went even farther and accused the president of having no part of the “black experience,” in spite of the myriad of experiences black people have in America and abroad.  He is like some other Republicans whose mouths go into gear before their brains, like Bachmann,Palin, and Perry.  He likes to say race doesn’t matter much but he keeps bringing it up himself, in relation to himself and the president.  What it boils down to is it matters when it suits his purpose, which seems to be establishing himself as the black Republican alternative to Barack Obama.

    Cain was not self sufficient, no one makes it in this world without the help of someone else. No one.  All these leaders are doing is pointing out his dishonesty about his past.  Cain puts himself to shame, if he was wise he would listen, but he’ll have to find out the hard way.
