Dr. King Weeps From His Grave - Op-Ed by Dr. Cornel West for the NYT

just from what i've seen of poets posts, he looks at class the same way those on the titanic did. there's the better half, and then there's everyone else.

Class is defined in many ways. "Grace under pressure". Generosity of spirit and intent, without expectation of return. Unconditional love. I've been immersed in class, most of life, thanks to my family and the grace of God. You assume that just because you're white (i.e. "white privilege") it can automatically be attributed to you. Wrong.
 
And how would you know that? You don't know me, you only think that you do. I've dined with paupers and princes...I can hold my own.

i don't know you, so can't determine whether you have class or not, yet you don't know me either but can tell me I DON'T have class? how does that work, exactly?

you think that i'm calling you classless because you're black? up until just now, I didn't care what color you were. thanks for showing your racism though, it helps me understand you better now.
 
From m-w.com:
Classy- having or reflecting high standards of personal behavior

Poet is a constant race-baiter, has made repetitive sexual insults about poster's mothers, and is an admitted and proud sexual deviant. None of these are considered "high standards of personal behavior".

Furthermore, since liberals by definition reject personal responsibility, there is no way that a liberal can be considered "classy".

Oh, your rhetoric certifies that you don't possess it. At least in my eyes...and that seems to be the only eyes that matter.

No...I don't think you're calling me classless because I'm black. I think calling yourself "with class" , simply because you're white is "ill-conceived" and wrong-headed. And me, pointing out the racism in others, doesn't make me a racist. I'm glad that you understand me better now.

so you think i'm calling myself 'with class' simply based upon me being white? how do you know i'm white? i've never mentioned my color or ethnicity in any or my postings, that i can recall.

Oh, you have all the hallmarks of being white... A tea-bagging militia insignia as a avatar, and the accompanying rhetoric. Answer me this: Are you white? Truthfully. Am I wrong?

What is that supposed to prove? Is the implication that these black men are "tea baggers", and therefore, lend credibility to the movement , as a "non-racist" political group or entity? BS.
They are de facto "Stephin Fetchits", misguided , and apologists for white racists, who see Barack Obama as an abomination...they are "house negroes", who would inform "Massa" of the field negroes trying to escape. Race traitors, to be exact. Sellouts.

And is there a problem? You didn't answer my question. Did I get it wrong? Are you something other than white?
