West need to shut the crap up! Obama not coming is not a sign on ANYTHING! WHo in the hell does Tavis think he is. What our people need to do is STOP WANTING SOMEONE TO SAVE US! OBAMA WILL NOT SAVE BLACK AMERICA! No one is gonna run to kiss the but of blacks. Obama got bigger fish to fry. Why sit on a panel and discuss the same stuff over and over and over and over and NOTHING changes in our communities!

Wannabe "leaders". Self-important pieces of dung. Tavis "Coon" Smiley and Cornel "Educated Dummy" West. Keep up the Crab in a barrel good work!

Did you really think he was ONE OF YOU?

If this is about the "state of Black America" why are there no Black Muslim leaders on the stage? Where are the Black Jews? Black Christians are not the only Black people in America, wow. You Black Nationalists are just as prejudice and bias against Muslims as Whites are against you.Many of us need to go back and read George Orwell's Animal Farm as we have become no more than White Men with Black faces. The civil rights struggle was for us to become equal to him not for us to become him.

After all the hard work put into voting for Obama, I thought is was very stank of him to not show up at this conference. If nothing else knowing the historical signifigance of his presidency and what it means to us. I don't completely agree with this conference either, but that stub to go to a white event was very stank. I'll bet if a Mexican were president he wouldn't snub "his" people. He is very ungrateful for the votes he got.

Tell that nigger Cornel West to chop that nasty brillo-pad shit off of his head..

Who are these negros fooling.. Blacks have equal rights now, there is no civil rights movement anymore. So therefore these guys are nothing more than racist, ignorant negro-supremacists... I cant believe the praise these niggers get for being all talk and no action.

Gee, unrequited, what happened? Did two of your three brain cells accidentally bump into each other, or have you just been sitting there drooling at your keyboard for ten freaking months until you finally came up with that devastating riposte?

You impress me more and more. Not.

[unrequited416]

Gawd, you are predictable, Insult me and prove how non-racist you are by listing your minority friends and family. Typical

If you look at Obama's money also look at Jessie Jackson, Rev. Sharpton and who pays Dr. West salery? All of them are funded by white corporations that is why all the do is talk and they never talk about Black nationalism. Like Malcolm, Garvey Huey or Messenger Mohamaad. Pay attention. Many of you (Afroimpi) evidently do not understand white supremacy

Afrolmpi - Dr. West is one of the philosophers this country has. His arguments has nothing to do jealousy or personally atacking the house slaves. To put all black & exploited ppl around the world to simply jealousy and malicious is to minimize their problem. If you listen to West, he will put it from historical, political, economic ...perspective.

[AfroImpi]

A Cheetah doesn't shed it's spots! Black people, jealous and malicious wherever they maybe - Africa, America, Europe, you name it. Players haters.

Rappin-4-Tay was right - Black is the black's worst enemy.

Is it safe to say that Black America has not put Obama where he is today, at least in terms of funding and financial aid towards his campaign? You have to remember that Black People don't have a great deal of economic power in America. So whoever is funding Obama, why are they, and what does Obama have to do to retain their support?
