Watch this shit. Cornel West screeches calling Jill Stein racist and arrogant as she simply suggests our alternative parties come together like France's left did to at least get a hearing in the public sphere on the issue of Gaza and Israel's genocide. Cornel says she is only doing it for her own ambition and vanity as he tried two different alt parties to run for office, finding traction in neither of them then he went on to run as an independent.
To him, at least in this interview, it's all about getting the race message out there and less about Palestine.
If you guys don't remember, West was all on board the ObamaWagon back in 2008 and he tells a story about how he went to see BarackGod right after his coronation expecting to be rewarded with a position in the new administration. He didn't get one and was bitter toward Obama ever since.
Watch him rock back and forth in his chair like an unhinged LOLCOW.
This is how intersectionality cripples social movements. It's what it is made for. Cornel casts his criticisms of Stein as her being racist and not wanting to focus on black issues as if that's the most important issue facing the world or even this country today. It's not.
