How do you not give Cornel West tenure?

How do you not get that any "diversity" Harvard or any of the other Ivy League bastions of white privilege and supremacy install is solely for performative purposes? If their tokens refuse to mind their manners and keep their place, they're gone.

Hahvahd...maybe it's a good thing NOT to get tenure there.

Thanks for transcribing some of the interview. I adore Dr. West, but he spits intellectual so fast, my mind can't always keep up and there were a few name drops I missed.

And did any big-name tenured professor on the faculty of Harvard threaten to go elsewhere because of this? I'd love to know how many of professoriate there agreed with the decision to deny Dr. West tenure and of those how many are one way or another in the pocket of AIPAC and Israel. He's only one of America's most important intellectuals, but not good enough for Harvard to grant tenure to? Sure. No politics there. No Zionists threatening to take their donations to Princeton or Yale.

Listening to West is akin to quenching one's thirst on a hot day with a water hose- you soon want to drench yourself in the liquid.
