ALERTER'S COMMENTS
this crosses a line for me- I think its offensive and racist. Thank you
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue May 24, 2016, 12:34 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Looks more like he is asking how its ok for Cornell West to make that claim http://dailycaller.com/2015/06/22/cornel-west-obama-is-the-first-nr-ized-president-video/ rather than using it in an offensive manner himself.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The poster is paraphrasing Cornell West, the subject of this thread. In general I'd vote to hide a post that uses such an inflammatory expression, but in context I think it's allowable as it is something West has said.

Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
