(Indeed, I can think of few things more ill-informed and offensive than geokstr’s claim that he is a “race-mongerer”. Anyone who has read 3 paragraphs of the guy knows that isn’t true.)

From wikipedia, so I’m sure it’s already been scrubbed of the worst:

West has branded the U.S. a “racist patriarchal” nation where “white supremacy” continues to define everyday life. “White America,” he writes, “has been historically weak-willed in ensuring racial justice and has continued to resist fully accepting the humanity of blacks.” This has resulted, he claims, in the creation of many “degraded and oppressed people hungry for identity, meaning, and self-worth.” Professor West attributes most of the black community’s problems to “existential angst derive[d] from the lived experience of ontological wounds and emotional scars inflicted by white supremacist beliefs and images permeating U.S. society and culture.”[14]

In West’s view, the September 11, 2001 attacks gave white Americans a glimpse of what it means to be a black person in the United States—feeling “unsafe, unprotected, subject to random violence, and hatred” for who they are.

I rest my case. 

I’m not sure what reading more than 3 sentences he wrote would do to change my “ill-informed” opinion of him (and I’m pretty sure that in closely following politics for 40 years, including the radical Black Liberation movements, I’ve read representative samplings of a number of things he’s written). I have seen him on TV in a couple C-Span televised conferences and interviews, ranting about white supremacists and oppression, and I have no reason to believe he is not a race-mongerer, unless your definition of that is different than mine. And that’s without consideration of his membership in pretty much every far left group imaginable.
