re: Cornel West: Ta-Nehisi Coates is the neoliberal face of the black freedom struggle

The thing about black elites embracing victimization as their organizing principle , is that while some may pity a victim, nobody really respects the weak guy . People respect the black African immigrant who perseveres and achieves, they don’t respect the black identity guy that whines and is stuck in external Locus of Control Groundhog Day.
