Like it or not, but Cornel West has worked hard to earn his bad reputation. For example, he has endorsed the lies of Nikole Hannah-Jones. She is a fraud embraced by him.

Yes, Nikole Hannah-Jones...she, along with West, are part of the cadre of race hustling blacks whose chief job it is to inflame racial differences in order to distract us from seeing the rise of a globalist oligarchy. This cadre, which Ibram X Kendi, and Ta Nehisi Coates, is, of course, well rewarded for their service to said globalist oligarchy.
"Yes, Nikole Hannah-Jones...she, along with West, are part of the cadre of race hustling blacks whose chief job it is to inflame racial differences in order to distract us from seeing the rise of a globalist oligarchy". I have mixed view on this. Note that I have used this argument. However, there is a counterargument. NHJ, West, Rogers, and DiAngelo would all vehemently deny they are working on behalf of anyone.
My current view is that identity-politics are the current fixation of upper-class, white, liberals. Since they run everything, their views are the only views that count.
Well of course Hannah-Jones, et al, deny working for anyone. But if you follow the money, it tells another story. And whatever the professed motives of these race hustlers, the effect of their work is to, as I said, distract from rise of a globalist oligarchy.
NHJ, H. Rogers, R. DiAngelo, and C. West might well have hidden motives for pretending to be the standard-bearers of identity politics. However, the тАШwokeтАЩ left includes a lot people. They donтАЩt all have hidden motives (as in monetary incentives) . My guess is that they are true believers in wokedom. They have found (or think they have found) an ideology that both make them heroes (the PC term is тАШalliesтАЩ) and doesnтАЩt threaten them.
Some time ago, I ran across a comment by a disgruntled liberal/leftist. His observation was тАЬwe are going to hear a lot more about transgender issues than the minimum wage in the coming yearтАЭ. Of course, he was entirely right. To state this directly, upscale progressives care a lot more about transgender issues than the minimum wage. They are not secretly working on behalf of the global elite. They are pursuing the agenda that they really care about.
Peter, to be clear, I am not saying that NHJ, etc don't believe in "wokeness" or identity politics--they absolutely believe in these toxic, absurd notions. What I am saying is that the billionaire oligarch class has a vested interest in subsidizing woke insanity to distract from the globalist agenda. And NHJ etc would not have a fraction of the visibility that they do if these monied interests were not behind them. So in effect, they they are doing the dirty work for the billionaires. Does that make sense?
Why must we all be "distracted" from the globalist agenda? Especially by all that woke shit? It's a matter of personal responsibility as far as I'm concerned. If you don't want to be distracted from the globalist agenda, lay off the woke shit. Now. It's that simple.
Anyway, what would be the point of a bunch of Richie-rich ollygarks going to all the trouble of creating a globalist agenda and then turning around and throwing up diversionary flares around said agenda? In the form of a bunch of woke shit? That would, obviously, prevent the common man from enjoying the "globalist agenda" just like the ollygarks?
Globalist agendas aren't just for gazillionaire ollygarks, you know.
Hmmm...I've gotten the attention of Feldspar, once again. Must be over the target, as they say. "Lay off the woke shit"? As if people have a choice, it's everywhere. Displacing good stories about the rise of a globalist oligarchy. Why should said oligarchs "throw diversionary flares" in the form of woke politics, you ask--as I said, to distract people from paying too much attention to their evil schemes. They know that most people aren't in favor of their agenda, and therefore they must disguise it. Rich folks have been using race to divide people in America going back to Bacon's Rebellion in the 17th century. I'll explain that for you sometime--maybe.
That's a bit of an imaginative stretch, Pac, but points for creativity. I will say this, though: If there is a cohort of people with whom I wouldn't want to make a lunch date or take a meeting, it's the poor souls who are distracted from the rise of a global oligarchy by the work of Hannah-Jones and Co.
