Most infuriating falsehood is Dr. Cornel West 4Prez is “vanity run” who did “photo op” in Ferguson.

No public figure stands w/OTG activists more—& it ain’t close. In 7/2014, it’s career suicide to be at #FreePalestine rally—worst vanity choice in history
“Photo-Op” claim doesn’t come from Ferguson activists who I watched hug the shit out of that man cuz by Oct2014 big media left but not the brutality. He used his celeb to BRING BACK cams to daily fight after world moved on. How come no one else famous wanted these “photo ops?” ImageImage
“Standing Rock is consistently the same struggle (as Ferguson). It’s a beautiful thing I see this coming together” —Dr. Cornel West

It was COLD! CW came to help impact the months long media blackout at SR. Again, why is he one of only public figures?
