[francisGish]

Liberal niggers man ...

[wonkxete]

there is no way in hell that big ed schultz is gonna step between these 2 brothers because that would be considered suicide.

[SheaTnite7]

That's right Rev. Al stands for the people who don't have thing like jobs, money and education, I love Dr. Cornel West but why is he arguing with a man of God and fellow brother? President Obama 2012!

[MNforRonPaul1987]

@SheaTnite7 lol, and you think Obama stands for those? Haha, ur black of course so u'll vote for him just cuz he's black. lololololol. blind u r.

[jwka2001]

black on black crime 

[jwka2001]

rev al sharpton = house nigger

[therealraybaby]

Al Sharpton, I love u big brother. When i was in jail, i listened 2 ur sunday morning radio talk show faithfully & it was always inspirational & took my mind off my pain & misery 4 that beautiful temporary 1 hour. But come on now Al. Now you know dat u can't fuck with Cornel West's intellectual power or brilliance. My brother,never try 2 tear into a tuff t-bone steak with teething toddler gums. LOL. Simply put Brother Al,we always respect u & LISTEN whenever u speak but we PAY ATTENTION 2 West!

[OBAMABInlaDENrublind]

jobs bill? nobody, no caucasian or black person needs the damned government making legislation to create jobs. Go create your own job by providing goods and services that consumers need, want, and desire. Thats common sense 101

[twiggy148]

Al Sharpton is a leech on the underbelly of society. But its a toss up between him and West as to which is the biggest race baiter. Worthless.

[DivaBeryl]

Amen, Brother Sharpton! Barack Obama is the POTUS, not a Senator. It is not HIS job to create a bill. He only shapes a platform - which he has done. It is Congress' job to agree on a bill for him to sign. Stop blaming the POTUS for Congress' failure.

[jaybeeeasy]

Clowns these niggas are comedians one cat still wearing a perm and the other look like frederick douglas come on man them niggas speak for their selves and fuck Obama too cause he wont be bothered with the blk community till next year when he want some votes

[ANCIENTMYS]

People people please , this is WWE bullshit, even Cornel is laughing at the end.Just the sight of a pasty faced, Ed Schultz , sitting in the middle like Jesus at the last supper hosting the " The Black Agenda" is laughable. Why are Blacks always holding PUBLIC ,TELEVISED forums on how to move ahead? Total nonsense! If these folks were really serious these discussions would be held in private and only include a select few. The Black Agenda = Black lobbying groups. Money talks,WAKE UP NEGROS!

[SDub817]

I couldn't watch this mainly because I don't like Al Sharpton.

[treysparker]

Al Sharpton is an opportunistic prick.

He also doesnt have a clue how economics works, 'give us money'.

Yeah, the USSR did that look at where they are now.

Oh wait, it doesnt exist...

[chillchi]

@treysparker you wish you were al sharpton fool. who the hell knows you, no one. so fade away and shut the fuck up when intellectual folks are speaking

[timoback3000]

Sharpton beasted West

[cojudo4life]

Ed Schultz is scaared lol

[OmarThePug]

The black agenda?  What's that? Yelling over people?

[butterflybloom1]

Al Sharpton is right. Cornell West is full of it. Maybe he is getting old and bitter. West wants to blame everything on the President. The President has been in office just little short of two and a half years and the black caucus has been around for so many years. Don't try to blame their failures on the President.

[Revanchist12]

Sharpton: "Punk ass faggot... come do something".

[ebonysupernova]

Cornel is snarling and baring his teeth like a rabid dog. It's one thing to have a healthy disagreement, but did he really need to carry on like that? Thecomment about the President showing up if it were a Black investment banker being pulled over by the police is both stupid and a cheap shot. He's the president, not a civil rights activist. Why doesn't the good professor climb down out of his ivory tower and march and advocate for the poor that he is supposedly so concerned about?

[IraMcGurkin]

@ebonysupernova No, he's a civil rights advocate, a community organizer - in full campaign mode. But a President? No.

[redbonegal]

this "mess" is an example of what white liberals have been doing to blacks for years. Cornell and Sharpton have been around the block long enough to know this set-up. They started this back in the "70's, where they would put a bunch of black leaders together on TV and show us arguing.MSNBC is not the black mans friend. At night all they show is Lock-up Raw prison shows with black men filling the jails!

[hydrolito]

@redbonegal White women argue frequently on the View what's race or sex have to do with the merit of an argument? Does that mean the View is not the white women's friend also?

[supermike2164]

@redbonegal I agree 100% these people are traitors for even GOING on a white man's show to debate about the black agenda with each other!!! THIS IS FAMILY BUSINESS!!

WHY THE HELL would Cornell try to gain the approval of ED before talking about al sharpton WHEN AL IS SITTING RIGHT THERE!! This is a orchestrated set up of two CONTROLLED negros that have been told to debate each other to emarrass black people even further. I role with Farrakhan anyway so whatever

[SagesseNoir]

@supermike2164 Since Malcolm x, Dr. King, Huey P. Newton, Angela Davis, Kwame Ture and numerous other veterans of the 1960s used to appear in the white man's media, were they all traitors as well? Let us remember that white corporate tycoons OWN most of the media. Should Blacks spokespersons avoid the media altogether?

[supermike2164]

@SagesseNoir The tone of your reply is idiotic!!

The people you mention were leaders trying to SEPARATE black people from america and give us independance from the former slavemaster's children. They wanted to prevent another generation of black people from being passed down as INHERITANCE to another generation of RICH DEVILS!

The above 2 in question are trying to lead blacks to be INCLUDED within this product of demonic slavery and opression thats why they let the white man MEDIATE

[supermike2164]

@SagesseNoir Al Sharpton WOULD NOT HAVE THIS DISCUSSION when Tavis Smiley Called. Yet when the white "brother ed" calls him to DISCUSS THE BLACK AGENDA he will make that apperance??!!!??

Instead of arguing with each other why didn't Cornel and Al ask ED "WHY DO WHITES NOW CARE ABOUT THE BLACK AGENDA"? Al is in bed with Obama and Obama has not drawn the line when it comes to sacrificing the black community to get various objectives thru. He draws the line on PLANNED PARENTHOOD (our enemy)

[SagesseNoir]

@supermike2164 Dr. King and Huey P. Newton were not separatists. And Malcolm X moved away from separatism after he left the Nation of Islam. But those leaders all were convinced that mere integration into a corrupt racist and exploitative society was NOT the objective of the liberation movement. Rather, the society itsel would have to be radically transformed. I'm pretty certain that NEITHER Al Sharpton nor Cornel West (whom I know personally) are REVOLUTIONARIES. But that's another matter

[supermike2164]

@SagesseNoir as I indicated before these two (as you agree) are more concerned with mixing in with the enemies of black organizations for true black power. and they want to lead blacks into being more efficient beggars of the Democratic party and American government. Instead of regognizing the INDEPENDENT POWER black people have and organizing those who listen to them in ways that will make our people independent

[chillchi]

@supermike2164 sharpton knows what he's doing. we had 43 white presidents and none of you lame as niggas said shit about there treatment of blacks or poor people. this is the first one with brown skin and suddenly you have tea parties and cabbage head niggas like you who attack him at every turn. why is your mouth open, when my zippers close.

[supermike2164]

@chillchi I don't know where you from but you must be clueless about the American Black independence struggle. You got a beautiful family but a foul mouth and a immature way of expressing your disagreement.

Facts may not matter to you but People like me were speaking up our disagreements with the U.S. presidents for a long time. and House Niggas like Al Sharpton were trying to win favor with whitey for about the same time. that is all that is happening

[supermike2164]

@chillchi If Barrack Obama EVEN dream of EVER doing anything thing that is fair for the content of Africa that takes away from what the white Jews want you will see Al Sharpton distance himself so quick it might cut you!!

You see real black leaders want to guide black communities to a position in where THEY ARE INDEPENDANCE DECISION MAKERS. NOT JOB SEEKERS AND BEGGARS not marchers and complainers INDEPENDENT COMMUNITIES WITH POWER PRIDE AND CONTROL!! you won't find that with Obama or Sharpt

[chillchi]

@supermike2164 so you say but what i did find with Sharpton is he took a knife in the gut for his beliefs, he went to jail for his beliefs, he has been chastised, vilified, ridiculed punched on TV, marched for civil rights and was a key speaker at the million man march. where were you. wait don't tell me at home watching it all on TV

[supermike2164]

@chillchi I am a activist and have worked and continue to work to make things I belive in happen. YES I WAS AT THE MILLION MAN MARCH and I stood in the streets of Detroit selling special $2 papers and doing other fund raisers to make it happen. Yes as a member of FOI I have been in situations of danger. Not to say that Sharpton doesn't belive in what he is doing but he isn't struggling for black communities to be INDEPENDENT he just wants us to be EQUAL

[chillchi]

@supermike2164 duly noted, and i think you for your contribution to the cause. as for Sharpton and others like him, they are the voice for the voiceless. many are called but few are chosen. god has a plan for Mr Sharpton and all we have to do is allow the story to unfold. may the most high bless you and keep you my brother. AMEN!

[Tammyceo]

Sharpton is a media whore



[DahktaD]

I'm surprised Sharpton didn't say "I gonna cap yo ass"... Sharpton is such a lying huckster.

[RonPaulCC2012]

Sharpton is now Barry Obombers 'lap dog'....Yes I judge someone with whom they spend company...Bill Ayers, Wright, Sharpton and others...Seriously, unless you are a goon why would you spend time with communist / terrorists and racists?

[RonPaulCC2012]

West is right. Just might be a little bit too late to the show!

[56Edify]

Two poverty pimps trying to out do one another.....yawn.

[ezekielthemack]

@56Edify If they're the pimps, your mother's the hoe. If you haven't got anything good to say keep your fucking trap shut.

[SagesseNoir]

Some of the "critiques" of Obama, at least from the right, are motivated by racism. But all critiques of Obama are not the does not fit that description. There are legitimate critiques to be made,

[jbpnw]

@SagesseNoir Like what "critiques" and from whom? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I hear this allot, but rarely see proof.

[SagesseNoir]

@jbpnw There are critiques of Obama by West himself, for which he has caught some flak. There are critiques by Chris Hedges and Noam Chomsky. But they mainly come from the left. The right simply despises Obama and are often too full of hatred to mount a critique. Simply calling some one a commie, Muzzie, fascist is not what I'd call a critique. You must critically engage ideas as well as policies.

[jbpnw]

@SagesseNoir 'The "right" is full of hatred'... over generalizations get you no where. I'm a conservative and neither hate Obama or have ever used any of those terms. I'm not a child. I've watched the 'left and right' use terms like.. right wingnut, left wingnut, neocons. etc. That kind of talk should have ended in elementary school... and so should generalizations. You can dig up nutters on both sides saying ignorant things.... what have you proved?

[SagesseNoir]

@jbpnw That there are fools, poseurs, demagogues and sycophants all across the political spectrum is obvious enough. But it seems that Right wing nuts seem to have hijacked conservatism and the Republican party. Left wing nuts have thus far failed to hijack liberal or progressive movements, or dominate the Democratic Party. Intelligent conservatives have been marginalized by the RIGHT. Intelligent liberals and progressives have not been marginalized by the Left.

[SagesseNoir]

I'm afraid Cornel West is right. But there's no point in his asking Al Sharpton for a critique of Obama. Sharpton doesn't have one. In fact, I doubt if he knows what a critique is.
