May this last paragraph from the piece will wake you all from your unwarranted slumber. . .
West’s attempt to claw the Obamas down into his crab barrel of authenticity contradicts his own writings. In 2007, he wrote how remarkable it was that descendants of slaves “now excel in the broad range of American life.’’ West complained that we spend too much time debating the woes of black people to “discuss the factors that led to the successes of millions of African-Americans,’’ and that we should ponder more optimistically why “a country so flawed in its founding nonetheless produces such an accomplished population?’’
It's a shame that West seems to have forgotten his own words, words with which I agree completely. (Perhpas some did not actually read the article. Too bad, since it makes a good point.)
