Dr. Cornel West Calls Al Sharpton “The Bonafide House Negro Of The Obama Plantation”

Dr. Cornell West is apparently pissed off with Al Sharpton’s new position and transformation of image as a Civil Rights Leader.

West likened Al Sharpton to a slave in response to his speech delivery during the 50th Anniversary Ceremony of the historic March on Washington earlier this week.

Public intellectual Cornel West tore into many of this week’s speeches surrounding the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.‘s “I Have a Dream” speech, accusing everyone from President Obama to Rev. Al Sharpton of “sanitizing” Dr. King’s vision.

“Brother Martin himself, I think, would’ve been turning over in his grave,” West said of the event. “[King would have wanted] people to talk about Wall Street criminality, he wants people to talk about war crimes, or drones dropping bombs on innocent people,” he asserted.

“Instead,” he lamented, “we saw the coronation of the bonafide house negro of the Barack Obama plantation, our dear brother Al Sharpton.” West went further declaring that Sharpton’s decline was “supported by [MSNBC analyst] Michael Dyson and others who’ve prostituted themselves in a very ugly and vicious way.”

West and Tavis Smiley both lamented that black leadership has become “so sold-out” so as not to have the courage to be a “bull in the china shop,” break rank, and talk about “racism, poverty, and militarism” at an otherwise “bought-out” event.

It doesn’t get more disrespectful than a black high-profile public figure comparing President Obama’s administration to that of a slave plantation.

Wow!!! I must admit Sharpton being Obama’s bullet proof vest is extremely annoying, always going on the defense for the president against his adversaries. Sharpton has switched positions all in the name of MSNBC and the almighty dollar.

“No Justice ~ No Peace” does Al Sharpton even own it anymore?

Rapper 50 Cent Phone Tirade Revealed

Radar Online has obtained chilling text messages that rapper 50 Cent (whose real name is Curtis Jackson III) sent his 16-year-old son Marquise in the weeks before he was charged with assaulting his youngest son’s mother.

Apparently 50 Cent was outraged after the boy failed to open the door during a custody visit in Atlanta. The shocking text messages reveal the dysfunctional nature of communications between the mentally unbalanced rapper and his son.

Too many children are showing disrespect to their fathers based on the poison of hearsay being fed to them by their bitter fueled mothers. Enough is enough! 

Oprah Winfrey’s Lifeclass program just touched on the subject of the fatherless sons topic last night, in a two-hour segment which aired on OWN. Not only was the show powerful but many men around the world are faced with the same issues and it’s sad. Too many children are suffering and emotionally messed up because of their parents broken relationships and one night stands.

In the meantime, here’s a transcript of the unfiltered and raw exchange between Curtis (50 Cent) and his son Marquise:

50 Cent: Hey I’m outside the house at the front door.

50 Cent: I came to the front door then lights went off. What’s up?

Marquise: U lying u outside?

Black So-called Celebrities Come Out in Support of Paula Deen

Paula Deen Signs Copies Of "Paula's Southern Cooking Bible"

Actress Stacey Dash, NFL player Kris Jenkins and civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton are among the black notables who have come forward in support of embattled tv chef Paula Deen.

Deen, 66, was dropped by the Food Network on Friday after Deen readily admitted she used racial slurs and cracked racist jokes about black people in a videotaped deposition.

Two other Deen sponsors, QVC and Smithfield Foods, are quietly shelving the celebrity chef while they await the outcome of a million-dollar sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Deen’s brother, Bubba Hiers, by a former employee.

“A lot of us have in the past said things we have regretted saying years ago,” Sharpton told gossip website TMZ. “You cannot deal with what is fair or not fair until we see an outcome of the present circumstances she is accused of, not something that happened 20 years ago.”

In a tweet sent out from her Twitter account on Monday, Stacey Dash wrote: “God does everything for a reason. “@Paula_Deen Only God can judge your heart BTW my daughter loves your show (only way she can get me to cook)”

And Kris Jenkins, former all-pro defensive tackle for the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers, also spoke out in support of Deen.

“The lady was a sweetheart to me; [her] making a mistake I’m not going to be the one to make a big deal of it,” said Jenkins in an interview with Metro New York.

Jenkins continued: “I got to see her heart and for me, I don’t look at the ‘N word’ as a bad word like that in this year—in 2013. The reason is because I think the ‘N word’ is more a test of my inner strength as to how strong am I to even be bothered by the word or not.”

“Ending The Father’s Absence” Tonight on “Conversation Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Book Cover 037

The plight of the African-American culture is the absentee father. Those father’s missing in the household with those mother’s who’ve fathered their children or those males who do not co-parent with the women they’ve procreated children. Children need to see father’s active in their lives, male children specifically and this is quite evident in the lack of male participation from black fathers in our communities. Black women always take on the leadership role for solving problems that plague black America.

If the black man is absent, he is either incarcerated, un-interested, slothful or angry. While the plight of black America cover a broad spectrum of issues, such as; fatherhood, religion, single parent families, crime and black males in prison; where is the black man’s perspective on these issues?

With Father’s Day coming up this Sunday (June 16th) and being the highlight this month, it’s raining Men on “Conversations Of A Sistah”.

Join me tonight June 12, 2013 at 8:00 PM as I’m joined by my special guest, Mr. Kenneth L. Osborne (pictured above), Director of Risk Reduction Services for the Tennessee Department of Correction, former Warden of Sheridan Correctional Center in Chicago, Illinois and Author of When Mama is Daddy: The Male Crisis and Challenge of Ending Father Absence.

President Obama Rocked Bangs @ White House Dinner

President Barack Obama joked that he was following Michelle Obama’s style to increase his popularity. This image was seen during the 2013 White House Correspondents Dinner.

President Obama knew all too well about all of the media outlets talking about him and poked fun at their comments all night. He first made reference to a controversy over a History Channel show featuring a devil-playing actor with an uncanny resemblance to the President.

“The History Channel is not here. I guess they were embarrassed about the whole Obama-is-a-devil thing,” he said.

Also in attendance for the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton were MSNBC personalities, Al Sharpton (looking like a shribbled up California raisin) and Chris Matthews.

Among some of the other bold-faced names in attendance were: singer Barbra Streisand, Korean  pop star Psy and Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz.
