The "Black Professional Left" Rejects West's Leftist Criticism Of Commander In Chief Obama, Head Of The American Imperialist Machine

• The black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs 
• A black puppet of corporate plutocrats
• The head of the American killing machine and is proud of it

Take Commander In Chief Obama, head of the American Imperialist Military Command out of the picture and insert anyone else - Democrat or Republican into the seat and then play back the key:

• Military
• Economy
• Tax Policy

run through by Commander In Chief Barack Obama.

In doing so the "Black Professional Left" would be lifting Professor Cornel West up and "crowd surfing" him around in ever "hit man" opinion article and "Black Progressive Blogger Understudy" attack cycle.

The only reason why they are pushing back upon their long time friend Professor Cornel West is because their attachment to Obama:

• Exceeds their love for the Smiley-West-Dyson-Watkins Hard Left Public Intellectual brand
• Their Own Transparent Progressive Ideological sensibilities

With all that said:  I HAVE NO SYMPATHY for Tavis Smiley or Cornel West as they have done much to foment that bigoted Black Progressive-Fundamentalist array that now shows its intolerance to criticism of THIS Commander In Chief.   When they were on the "in crowd" - "Before Obama" - while they were largely saying the very same thing about the economy, military and social justice franchizes of this nation - THEY were the ones who where doing the hits against anyone who went against the grain.

They kept companies with hate-filled figures like Harry Belefonte and others - who are NOT considered "hate mongerers" - but for their leftist orientation - this despite using the very same tactics that those who are more accepted as "haters" make use of.  (See Bill Maher and Ed Schultz).

The main fault at t his present time against Smiley-West, however, is not that they are WRONG in their critique against Obama it is that they FAILED TO FOMENT A SPIRIT OF TRANSPARENT DEBATE AMONG BLACK FOLKS.

As With The "Mission Accomplished Zones".................They Were Building "Ideological Unity" Not Preparing For A Political Victory Beyond Their Ideological To Deliver Results

Take a look at the sampling of critiques of Prof West from the "Professional Left":

• The Root.com 1
• The Root.com 2 David Swerdlick - Why Cornel West Is Wrong About Obama
• The Root.com 3 Nsenga Burton - Black Scholars Spar Over Cornel West
• The Root.com 4 Nsenga Burton - Adam Swerer - Cornel West's Comments Are Petty
• The Grio.com - Does Cornel West Have An Obama Complex?
• Washington Post - Progressive-Fundamentalist Negro Academy Arguing Over Obama
• "Brick City Goes To College"
• Oh yeah - Tired And Retired Jack White is talking about Gingrich, The IMF guy and Arnold

(Side note - Is it troublesome to see that the West On Obama controversy has generated more chatter than the news that Black Unemployment has rose to 16.1% in April?  CLEARLY we can see what is valued more.)

We only need to listen to Ed Schulz of "MSNBC - The UnFox-Biased Biased Network" and host of "The Black Progressive Agenda Show"as he enumerates Commander In Chief' Obama's accomplishments to make note of ONE THING:

• Obama Saved The Economy From Collapse With An $800 Billion Stimulus Package (Debt Spending We Like)
• Obama Gave Us Health Care (That At The Time We Said Was A Pittance) 
• Obama Killed Osama Bin Laden (And We Won't Hit Him About "Torturing An Unarmed Man Of Color By Shooting Him In The Face)

There is no "BLACK ACCOMPLISHMENTS" on Obama's list.

• Black Unemployment at 16.1%
• Despite marketing that tells of successful "School Reform" - Black Male Graduation Rates Below 50%
• Anemic Economic Activities In "Mission Accomplished Cities" that are decimating the ranks of government employees and government services - that is worse than any "Republican Governor" has cut thus far

The problem with people like The Root.com's David Swerdlick is that they are "vested in Obama", beyond any rational justification in defense of "The Black Permanent Interests".   The very face of "The Obama Fist Bump Black Press".

The main mistake made by West, Smiley, Swerdlick and others is that they choose to scrutinize/ defend OBAMA when the focus needs to be placed upon the ENTIRE ARRAY OF MACHINE ELEMENTS.   There is a unified set of theories in place at the local political offices where there is economic hemmorage among Black people - DESPITE the cartoons that paint Obama as the great savior.  (Some of these cartoons appear as words in an opinion article).

To PRETEND that President Obama is not merely the "top floor build out" of what they all have been erecting for decades - is preposterous.   There is a high amount of connectivity in all that they do.   The two Democratic factions seen fighting in the midst of mass dysfunction in Newark - as captured on the show "Brick City" both operated under the banner of "The Obama Team" when it came to matters outside of the city boundaries.  This same phenomenon is the case in every single Black Progressive controlled political district that I know of.

Ironically Cornel West or Tavis Smiley ARE NOT harming Obama on his ABSOLUTE RESULTS.  They are both pounding on Obama demanding that he produce more LEFTIST-REDISTRIBUTIONALIST-CONFISCATORY policies, in line with the normal demands from the Black Progressive-Fundamentalist base.  

They have never had a problem with the "pettiness" of attacks on other presidents, why now is the filter of "pettiness" used to discredit West-Smiley?    Again - they don't dismiss the MATERIAL criticisms of Obama - which are in line with their own progressive-fundamentalist sentiments.   They instead seek to defend Obama by discrediting his critics.   Again Smiley-West TAUGHT THEM WELL.

How Smiley-West Can Save Face And "Fail Upward", Learning From Their Past Mistakes

If there is anything that Smiley-West should be doing right now after accessing their past strategic mistakes is to develop a system of TRANSPARENCY in the POLITICAL DISCOURSE AMONG BLACK AMERICANS.   

Since they all are progressives and are used to the disposition of 'Struggling To Get Power' - using that as a forbearance to the absolute demand for results - they are usually on the same page saying that "The Other Guy" are the reason for our shortfalls.    Even though their favored Democrats had total rule of the Federal Government for 2 years - this atop the domination of "Mission Accomplished Cities" - the "Black Professional Left" still has no tolerance for those members who slip up and actually blame their own for the results.  Tavis Smiley slipped up when he assumed that he could remain consistent in his criticism "After Obama".  Ironically - even LEFT WING criticism of Obama was unacceptable. 

As we recoup from the "head injury" that the DISPOSITION that the Black Community has taken with regard to Obama - the face-saving move for Smiley-West will be to "GO DEEP INSIDE" and build up the infrastructure that clearly collapsed upon them when they dared to remain as progressive firebrands in critique of Obama and the rest of the "Black Racial Services Industry".   

I believe that Tavis Smiley is articulate enough to expand upon his notion that "it took Frederick Douglass' critiques to make Lincoln".   What he fails to see is that the ENTIRE BLACK ESTABLISHMENT is the "Lincoln" who needs to be brought in line with our PERMANENT INTERESTS.

In as much as I have concluded that:

• The best way to be called a Ninja by a Black Progressive-Fundamentalist is to hold up some statistics which reflect the problems Within The Black Command AND dare to claim that their machine that controls the zone has some culpability 
• That their #1 sales products are the transaction of  "Black Inferiority" (our continued damaged state from slavery) and  "Non-White White Supremacy"as their favorite subject

Smiley-West, if they were more visionary, would see that WHAT EVERY CONSENSUS they have made when they had their "all star panel" on stage - has FAILED to sustain the "success" that Obama has had in drawing Black people to live vicariously through his daily experiences.

In closing - do you recall the article written by some Black Progressive-Fundamentalist hit man upon Obama's inauguration?   Out of the blue he posted the face of CLARENCE THOMAS as 'The Main Loser In The Age Of Obama".   While I did not understand how he figured that Thomas was "The #1 Negro In Washington" prior to Obama and with Obama's rise he was knocked off of his post.    While this narrative was appealing to the Black Progressive-Fundamentalist constituency which syndicated it via their own blogs - the TRUTH is that Tavis Smiley/ Cornel West are the forces that were knocked out of power.

Clarence Thomas is now smiling at the fight among his detractors.

Yesterday's "Tavis Smiley Presents The State Of The Black Union" which was shown on INDEPENDENT "C-SPAN" every January (?)   is today "MSNBC, The Un-Fox-Biased Biased Network Presents The Black Progressive Agenda Hosted By Ed Schultz".

If you didn't CATCH that one above:   The lack of ENFORCEMENT of TRANSPARENCY and INTEGRITY for no other reason than the CONGREGATION has agreed to operate upon their BIASES for short term gain - is what we are experiencing today as a community.  

The best thing that Smiley-West could do is to craft a new "Black Covenant " that focused upon WITHIN rather than a position paper on EXTERNAL public policy.   (Blacks should support public transportation).

Clearly Tavis Smiley's body of work did not have any bearing upon consciousness of Black America - After Obama. "JingOism" is a more powerful force that washed it all away.

What people can't see is that come 2013 or 2017 - Obama will be out of Power and there will be a grand amount of wondering all about as the Black Community has its  postpartum depression.
