In a recent interview with Diverse magazine, Professor Cornel West attacked his former Princeton colleague and newly minted MSNBC host Professor Melissa Harris-Perry.

West called Harris-Perry a “liar” and said that, “[s]he’s become the momentary darling of liberals, but I pray for her because she’s in over her head. She’s a fake and a fraud. I was so surprised how treacherous the sister was.”

Oh HELL naw!  Sir, I’ma need you to have all the goddam seats.

West what is going on.

Did someone put something in your coffee.

West. No. Stop. I still want to love you.

After reading the whole piece, West was refuting some comments made by Harris-Perry. West contends that what she said wasn’t true, thus, her being a liar. There are also internal conflicts that come up in this exchange regarding Princeton and her position as associate professor. Regardless, just because West critiques or name calls, however unsavory that may be, that doesn’t mean he is wrong, or in need of a seat. He may be addressing hidden conflicts that people outside the situation are unaware of.
