One of President Obama‘s biggest haters Professor Cornel West, when asked about Ferguson during an appearance on CNN International, said:
“Ferguson signifies the end of the age of Obama. It’s a very sad end. We began with tremendous hope and we end with great despair.”
He talked about a “Jim Crow criminal justice system” that doesn’t seek justice for young black and brown people, and said there is both a race and a class war going on against that group in America right now.
Why is West hard on the president? He said, “Obama chose a “Wall Street presidency” and a “drone presidency,” but never gave even “one speech that focuses on the Jim Crow criminal justice system that’s been targeting poor black and brown youth.”
