Be as hatefully partisan as you want, but I refuse to dismiss, as you do, the black community's respect and support for one of its reknowned scholars, political activists and historians.
This forum is for whatever Democrats deem supportive of Democratic interests, and West's presence at anti-fascist protests must not be sneered at because of your political disagreement with said Democrat.
