"Appearing on Democracy Now to discuss his new book “Black Prophetic Fire”, Dr. Cornel West
declared that we are witnessing the era of the sell out. West discusses the late black journalist Carl
Rowan, who dismissed Malcolm X and mocked Martin Luther King Jr., and says “we’re living through
the Carl Rowanization of black journalism.” These black journalists, West says, “act as if they’re saying
something critical, but it’s milquetoast and well adjusted to the status quo.”"
