i would like to pose this if Rev Al. is a house negro on Pres. plantation why do they fight so hard for civil rights, why are they always railing against the republican house of obstruction to that end?
it would seem one who rails against those two, who's only mission is not to bring anything down but to raise up and aspire to equality, not juvenile name calling and finger pointing to help the right wing in their demonizing campaign since 2008, those persons would more than fit the image of the house "N", 
they have become sour grapes which is an infantile expression of being dissed which they seem to think they took priority over the millions who did as much or more than they to help Pres. first time and did not receive an invite to the ball, West is an embarrassment reminiscent of Prof. Irwin Corey,

Public intellectual Cornel West tore into many of this week’s speeches surrounding the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.‘s “I Have a Dream” speech, accusing everyone from President Obama to Rev. Al Sharpton of “sanitizing” Dr. King’s vision.
“Brother Martin himself, I think, would’ve been turning over in his grave,” West said of the event. “[King would have wanted] people to talk about Wall Street criminality, he wants people to talk about war crimes, or drones dropping bombs on innocent people,” he asserted.
“Instead,” he lamented, “we saw the coronation of the bonafide house negro of the Barack Obama plantation, our dear brother Al Sharpton.” West went further declaring that Sharpton’s decline was “supported by [MSNBC analyst] Michael Dyson and others who’ve prostituted themselves in a very ugly and vicious way.”
West and Tavis Smiley both lamented that black leadership has become “so sold-out” so as not to have the courage to be a “bull in the china shop,” break rank, and talk about “racism, poverty, and militarism” at an otherwise “bought-out” event.
i would say they sold out to republicans and their rhetoric both need to turn in ther "Brother card", brothers don't turn on one another unless there is an ulterior motive, is West looking for a TV show on Fox?  he would make a good right wing antaganist and the plus for Republicans another Black embarassment, to go along with their other 5 or 6.  they do have the hate credentials and the red meat to toss to that base.
