Cornel West calls Al Sharpton ‘the bonafide house negro of the Obama plantation

Dr. Cornel West called Al Sharpton "Obama's house negro." At times I think West says things simply for the shock effect. This is another one of those times. 

"Dr. Cornel West ripped Wednesday’s 50th anniversary commemoration of the March on Washington in his radio show with Tavis Smiley on Friday, lamenting that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. himself would have been rolling in his grave seeing how his “I Have A Dream” speech was honored. 

“You not only got a tame Martin Luther King Jr., but there was a real sense in which who he really was at the end of his life hardly surfaced at all,” West told Smiley. “And we saw, of course, the coronation of the bonafide house negro of the Barack Obama plantation, our dear brother Al Sharpton.”
