‘ Almost everything is racist,’ she after said
Cornel West, an Ivy League teacher who is running as a third party political member this year, has chosen brother doctor and far-left Black Lives Matter activist Melina Abdullah as his running mate.
Now at Columbia’s Union Theological Seminary, the 70- yr- old “public philosophical” West, who as of last summers owed half a million dollars in fees, said he chose Abdullah to “put a smile on the face of Fannie Lou Hamer and Martin Luther King Jr. from the grave”.
West made the announcement on Wednesday during an appearance on Tavis Smiley’s television program, according to Politico.
A professor of Pan- African Studies at California State University Los Angeles, Abdullah , ( pictured ) most recently charged that being a fan of Taylor Swift is” slightly racist”.
In response to the remark’s expected push- ago, Abdullah tweeted” People think they’re attacking me by asking why I think all is racist… I’m never offended. Almost everything is bigoted”.
Additionally, Abdullah urged white people to leave black people alone on June 15th (” Please do n’t ask if you can come to the cookout…# June 15th is freedom day for Black folks” ), demanded that the campus Young Americans for Freedom chapter “revoke all permits” for displaying” Build the Wall” signage, and referred to police officers as” slave catchers” of the past.
She even called traditional commentator Ben Shapiro, an Catholic Jew, a “neo- Fascist” and “neo- Gang member”.
In contrast, Abdullah was quite outspoken about the fraudulent Jussie Smollett hate crime allegations, saying” We can never feel officers, particularly the Chicago Police Department”. She referred to Smollett as a” Black male who has been proudly present, visible, and voice in the battle for Black freedom”.

For Abdullah, Smollett’s guilty verdict was” a white supremacist charade” in which blacks were “forced to put]their ] lives and value in the hands of judges and juries operating in a system that is designed to oppress]them ]”.
Abdullah claimed that the evil presidential campaign was” the furthest point from]her head,” but that she and West “want to destroy the narrative that you have just two choices.” We can be clever and wide, but we must enter this realm as true believers who are not more realists than we are.
West ( pictured ) said he does n’t think Abdullah being associated with Black Lives Matter will be a “burden” to the campaign, adding” I’m running for Jesus. She’s running for Allah. That’s a lovely thing”.
West’s campaign software includes the “abolition” of poverty, homelessness, and proper- to- work states, the nationalization of the fossil fuel industry, “free” post- K childcare, “free” care” for any and all residents of the United States”,” climate reparations”, and “gender- affirming standards of care for trans people in public life and institutions”.
