Harvey also had a lot to say about the fact that Tavis suggested that President Obama sit down with him and West for two or three days to discuss poverty in America. Harvey said, “Who in the hell got 2–3 days for your ass? I ain’t got time to sit down with your monkey behind for two, three days, let alone the President of the United States. --

Comedian Steve Harvey Calls Cornel West And Tavis Smiley “Uncle Toms” For Criticizing Obama…
Steve Harvey has decided to throw himself into the ring as a critic of the Poverty Tour of Tavis Smiley and Cornel West. This week on his syndicated radio show, Harvey went in on West and Smiley in ways that turned heads.
“I was a huge fan of Cornel West,” he said. “Tavis, I seen him coming a mile away. His anger started when he had a town hall meeting, President Obama couldn’t come because of the campaign trail and he sent Mrs. Obama. He has held that grudge every since.”
Harvey cited the fact that Cornel West has mentioned not getting tickets to the president’s inauguration. “Have you ever been invited to the damn inauguration? Did Bush send for you? Did Clinton send for you? Did Reagan send for you?”
He also said, “You don’t have any real basis behind your dislike for this man. . . you keep masking it saying it’s not about hate. Then what is it about? Poverty existed before January 20, 2008. Where was your damn bus then?”
Harvey also had a lot to say about the fact that Tavis suggested that President Obama sit down with him and West for two or three days to discuss poverty in America. Harvey said, “Who in the hell got 2–3 days for your ass? I ain’t got time to sit down with your monkey behind for two, three days, let alone the President of the United States. We got three wars going on, the economy crashing and we going to sit down with Tavis ass for three days?”
Harvey alluded to a more sinister motive for West and Smiley’s Poverty Tour, asking, “Where are you getting the money for these buses?” He ended his rant by saying that he’d spotted an Uncle Tom driving a bus and that Cornel West and Tavis Smiley were “poverty pimps.”
