CNN, the news network that makes each and every airport layover just fly by, decided to spice things up during today’s midday programming wasteland by bringing on academic Cornel West, whose promise of a reliably entertaining if incoherent rant today included his proclamation that President Obama is America’s first “niggerized” president.
SooperMexican, who also brought us video of a CNN heckler calling President Obama an “Uncle Tom,” has uploaded a Vine of the moment.
This is what happens when you bring @cornelwest to a nice boring news broadcast. #NWordAggedon https://t.co/pZQselzOtW

And I see Cornel West and Michael Eric Dyson have begun a furious competition for the Wilona Woods "Negro Please" award this week…

CNN has also uploaded the entire clip, with West’s accusation coming right around the two-minute mark. There’s also plenty of talk of legalized torture and legalized terror from West, but that’s nothing new.
The outspoken @CornelWest on the confederate flag. Cant agree more w/ him https://t.co/5uqFYjsz4c

So what it about Obama that has West so bothered?
“A niggerized black person is a black person who is afraid and scared and intimidated when it comes to putting a spotlight on white supremacy and fighting against white supremacy,” he explained. Couldn’t it be that the president is just busy handling other matters at the moment, like golf?
There goes @CornelWest again. Sigh! His hatred for Obama baffles me at times. Love Cornel but he is obviously envious or angry at a slight.

The CNN anchor told Cornel West she had to end the interview for breaking news. What's on now? Commercials.

Cornel West calls our presdient "Niggerized" and CNN doesn't challenge him. Just let's him rant till time runs out.
Unbelievable.

So if you're a leftist, you can now call Obama "Niggerized" on CNN without being challenged.
