Julianne Malveaux and Cornell West on Barack Obama’s Acceptance Speech
Cornell West — “Obama ran from history”. “You can’t think that you are being American by holding Black history subordinate.” “Why do we have to engage in a disappearing act when you talk about America”
Julianne Malveaux “To reduce Dr. King to some praecher from Georgia?”, “He could have said Fannie Lou Hamer”, “I think the brother dropped the historical baton.” If Joe Biden can mention Martin Luther King. how come he couldn’t” “He perpetrated a White wash of our history. its a strong statement, but I stand by it.”
