Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” Cornel West commented on President Barack Obama being more outspoken on race in America and said it was not enough because he is “afraid of Fox News” and, “He needs to stand up out of moral conviction.”
West said, “What the president said a few months ago in regard to Ferguson that racism is not endemic. That’s a lie Mr. President. It is endemic.”
He continued, “He is afraid of Fox News and right wings. He thinks they’re going to attack him. They’re going to attack you anyway Mr. President. Stand for truth and justice.”
Adding, “He needs to stand up out of moral conviction.”
