    I could care less what Cornel West is worth financially, given his brilliance and brilliant ideas. America needs ideas and direction like his.
  • That means he knows what families go through. Aproaching 90% single mother homes. He knows
  • @lawrenceswhite
    The author states that this article is public information, yet when you click on it , the privilege for reading it will cost you $ 6.99 So much for the free press
  • @sheemakarp6424
    Yes, a hit piece full of insinuation. He stumbled over saying that Dr. West “abandoned “ a child, though he followed with the information that he provided child support. He spent money on affairs, a condo, travel, was a bad father, had $500, 00 per year, will not have a job, will not win, etc. Why did it not come out before? Give you one guess #presedentialrun
  • @meshzzizk
    mom was a school principal and dad was a contractor = “pretty humble means” — what? i guess i grew up dirt poor and didn’t even realize it
  • @marieazrak1951
    The fact they spent it on women and he’s been married several times. He has sexual affairs and divorces with multiple women that is really disgusting and really really shady and creepy.
  • @SoraTheory
    That means he can relate to every day people a perfect candidate
  • @feyofeyo3973
    Making of a great president with real life experience
  • @deront2083
    How is it cobsidered abandoning a child, when he paid the mother alimony and he paid child support.
  • @ryanwilson6632
    Im sure he did stop talking to y’all!! when he figured out y’all were working on a hit piece!
  • @marieazrak1951
    And I also found ways to help other people with disabilities financially, whether it’s food clothing, whatever

    If someone is going to wait for me to believe that Forbes practices nothing but objectivity they’re gonna wait for a very very long time.
  • @philipclock
    Get a haircut and shave, then I'll revisit.

    I’m not in charge of my money or my taxes my family does that for me currently it’s my parents cause they’re my rep payee I have a disability and I don’t travel. I don’t do stupid stuff I mean I do things for my family like I help my mom teach my five-year-old niece violin because my mom had surgery on her shoulder and she can’t hold the violence so I’m. The demonstration tool for my niece I have section 8 and 50 samples I started working when I was younger in high school while I was a student in school and going to school and going through young and old pilot program and doing a lot of other things but whether I lived with my parents or I lived on my own, I always make sure to let my family know how much rent was how much utilities were and my phone bill and we always made sure that I paid that stuff first before I do anything else, fun wise, and my family pays my taxes for me because I don’t have any Assets
