    Cornel West’s rage against President Barack Obama evokes that kind of venom. He has accused Obama of political minstrelsy, calling him a “Rockefeller Republican in blackface”; taunted him as a “brown-faced Clinton”; and derided him as a “neoliberal opportunist.”

    Obama run as a progressive candidate and governs on center-right policies. So West's critique of Obama's policies specially his foreign policy is fair on most parts. Not sure what got on Dyson to go off like this on West, maybe a personal jealousy! Anyway, I thought this may be interesting read (very long) and shared with you.

    Brother, yes, there are some rogue police officers out there who just go out and profile certain segment of the society, then harass, beat, plant false evidence and arrest them, and in some cases kill them. Walter Scott has done nothing wrong that warranted his life to be taken, so was Mr. Brown. Police work for the public including those murdered black guys, so the police is responsible for the safety of the citizens their serve not the other way round. Those men died coz those police officers were rogue and treat them differently. White police men would more likely shoot a black teen than he would a white teen. Why do you think is that?

    ^Whites kill more whites than any other race, what's your point? There is institutional racism deeply ingrained in this country that effects lives of millions daily. And don't even start with the "broken" criminal justice system that disproportionately incarcerates more minorities than whites.

     

    Ayaan became the mouthpiece for the conservative Christian right wings groups and would say things the white men wouldn't say in Public.

    ^Dude you're justifying police brutality and their racism toward minorities. What have the young black kids in Walt-Mart and in the Park in Cleveland done wrong to be killed? When Police don't even give you the chance for you cooperate or worse treat you like a guilty person from the get go, there is nothing you could do to safe your life.

    We are still waiting for the photos and videos, Saalax. As for the description of Hargaisa, it doesn't sound that bad for a Somali city. I think Hargaisa is far better off than lots of other cities in the peninsula. Not sure why would Saalax expect to see world class city in an under developed country. Somali cities have a long way to go to be even considered cities in world standards.
