Quote by Cornel West
My dear brother Barack Obama has a certain fear of free black men.

My dear brother Barack Obama has a certain fear of free black men. As a young brother who grows up in a white context, brilliant African father, hes always had to fear being a white man with black skin. All he has known culturally is white. He has a certain rootlessness, a deracination. – Cornel West
