"...West openly attacked Barack Obama for his complicit accommodation with US militarism and hegemonic capitalism, whom he colorfully derided as 'a Rockefeller Republican in blackface.' West seems closer in his affinities to Noam Chomsky, Edward Said and Jean-Paul Sartre, leading white public intellectuals, who spoke as they believed whatever the personal costs."
