Michael Eric Dyson Cuts Ties With Cornel West

Georgetown University professor Michael Eric Dyson recently penned an open-letter in The New Republic about his former mentor, Dr. Cornel West, saying West’s rage against President Obama has turned him into a bitter, angry, irrational man. 

“When you’re weighed down under the burden of extraordinary, personal bitterness, it just wipes away all the good stuff that you might say and makes us question what it is about the motivation for your criticism in the long run,” Dyson told The Root. 

Dyson has effectively cut ties with West. Dr. West has not yet responded to Dyson’s criticisms. [The Root]
