			<description><![CDATA[Bankole Thompson's characterizatio n of West and Smiley as "right wing" might have been more acceptable had it come from Tom Joyner after all Tom is "just a DJ" . An editor like Bankole Thompson on the other hand knows full well that there is plenty of room for criticism from the left and progressive wing. Bankole chose to characterize West as "right wing" to smear them to avoid the substantive charges West and Smiley level at President Obama. Bankole Thompson's defense of Obama is missing one single instance where he shows that Smiley and West were wrong about Obama's neglect of the Black Community. Bankole did not point to one instance where Obama had addressed any of the pressing needs of the Black community. Bankole Thompson would better serve the needs of the Black community asking the questions raised by Smiley and West instead of flak catching for the President.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's shameful to keep with the old crabs in the barrel mentality that some of us black people hold on to. When will we truly come together as a people. Because when that day comes we will truly find our true power.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The mentality of Cornel West and Tavis Smiley is what we as a people, for the most part, are leaving behind. For those two men, America will always owe them an unpaid debt. They're not trying to uplift African-America ns, they are trying to stroke their own egos. For all the education these two men have they exhibit very little understanding or wisdom. They will spend the rest of their lives complaining about some injustice or another. If either of these men thought they could do a better job than President Obama they can run for the job in 2016.]]></description>
