Cornel West on Harvard, Claudine Gay, and the ruling class
The Red Nation | August 14, 2025
Cornel West shares his experiences at Harvard and its recently-ousted president Claudine Gay.
This is a clip from the latest episode of The Red Nation Podcast. Watch the full episode on this channel by following the link at the end of this video.
She was a racist, incompetent hack (at best). Of course, she was a perfect DEI hire. Skin color and sex are the only things that count according to DEI.
She cheated. 50 examples of plagiarism, how is that racist? If a student does it once they’re out. It’s unbelievable how we’re turning this into something racist
Cornel West is intelligent. But he took advantage of his race to play Harvard, taking a year off on medical leave, while pursuing his "musical" career. When called out on it, he quit and went to Princeton. Now all he talks about is racism, racism, racism. Too bad.
When I was in college my Professor said that there was no original research out there. Anything that you write was already written by someone else. You have to cite sources,of course, but you can still be accused of plagiarism for saying hello. Did anyone mention that Alan Dershowitz was accused of plagiarism. They sent the dean of the law school, Elena Kagan, to investigate. Of course she had him vindicated without an investigation.
I was born in 1947 and fit all the criteria he enumerates to be in a ruling class. I'm unaware that there is such a class. Different folks have different degrees of interest in public service, though. As for this guy, he certainly fits in the complaining class.
Professor Cornell West, you have dedicated your life to planting the rotting seeds of victimhood identity into the hearts and minds of your students. This is looking backwards, and sabotaging any chance for humanity to grow, to imagine any narrative that places responsibility with the individual human to develop integrity and build a life on merit, on excellence without “color” code, or ever to achieve cooperation, love, and peace.

Typical 60s Mau Mau bogosity from the congenitally fatuous Brother West. This crap was old by the 70s but Cornel sticks with the game plan.

West should be president of Harvard. He has scholarship and leadership qualities.

I remember when Cornell West was going on about how great Antifa was. Why should I listen to anything he says?

Few people are more undeserving of a Harvard pedigree than this clown.

Gay's ouster is all about the Benjamins. When there is a threat that the spice isn't going to flow; somebody's got to fall on the sword.
