Outspoken Union Theological Seminary professor Cornel West goes where very few 'thinkers-of-color' have had the courage to go in this interview with Salon's Thomas Frank: "The thing is, [Obama] posed as a progressive and turned out to be counterfeit. We ended up with a Wall Street presidency, a drone presidency, a national security presidency. The torturers go free. The Wall Street executives go free ... we ended up with a brown-faced Clinton. Another opportunist. Another neoliberal opportunist ... So you got low-quality black leadership. Al Sharpton is who? He’s a cheerleader for Obama ... Eric Holder won’t touch the Wall Street executives; they’re his friends ... I think a post-Obama America is an America in post-traumatic depression."
