I can accept a divergence between my political and theistic judgments while still holding someone to be an intellectual but I’m not getting anything from his speeches and his books. It’s like naive morality relished with poetic black-chicanery.
Someone considers Cornel West to be an intellectual?
well this post really made me think.
West is an ass, meh.
I’d take Sowell over West any day.[Y] He’s not such an elitist prick like Cornel West. West’s racism is also pretty frustrating at times to me.
You’re just now finding this out?
i saw he was in a philosophy movie a few years ago with Slavoj Zizek. Examined Life. The whole thing has him, Peter Singer, and Zizek and pretends to be philosophy as a whole or hip philosophy in the streets… instead of the least interesting thinkers going quoting Lacan and Heidegger pretentiously.
zzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZzzzz It’s not even interesting enough to not like.
