Why aren't there more Cornel Wests? Where are the Kimberley Williams-Crenshaws, the Barbra Streisands, the bell hooks? The Alice Walkers? I need these people.
Like so many of our self-anointed (as I refer to them - Dyson, hooks, Gates et al) his intellectual production has been of negligible value. It is analytical & descriptive but not particularly transformative i.e. he DECONSTRUCTS and DESCRIBES stuff but doesn't particularly CHANGE stuff, if you get my drift...

And here's me thinking ONE Cornel West was more than I could take...
I think one Cornel is all we need. He is wonderful in and of himself. Do you have a problem with Cornel?

Malcolm X was a CHANGER of stuff...
I would like for you to explain to me how Cornel and hooks especially are negligible;-)
