Possible Green Party presidential candidate Cornel West described President Joe Biden's history on race as a "crime against humanity."

West, a left-leaning critic and considered one of Biden's most potent challengers, slammed the president over his past policies on the black community. This includes Biden's promotion of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act in 1994, which increased the number of police and provided additional funding for prisons.

"Well, I think you'll think Joe Biden contributed to a crime against humanity when he became the architect of the mass incarceration regime in the 1990s," West told the New York Post.

"I've taught in prison for 41 years. And the level of barbarity in our prisons has something to do with that crime bill that he put forward," West said.

He claimed that the black community is a "low priority" for Biden and that he was better at placing "Black faces in high places" than incorporating actual change.

Besides trashing Biden's record on race, the liberal philosopher echoed complaints Republicans have about the way the president's administration has operated. West called into question why the Secret Service couldn't identify who brought a bag of cocaine into the White House — an event that originally forced a partial evacuation of the premises until the substance could be identified.

West is expected to be a third-party candidate in the 2024 elections. The social critic initially declared his intentions to run with the liberal-leaning People's Party but shifted his focus to the Green Party in June. Some political analysts have expressed worries about West, saying he could take away significant votes from the Democrats and make it easier for a Republican candidate to win.

West justified his running as a third-party candidate by arguing that a Democrat in office would only delay the eventual arrival of fascism.

“Trump is leading us toward a second civil war, Biden is leading us toward a third world war. So I am not excited about either choice,” West said. “I don’t want to just support a caretaker government against fascism every four years because sooner or later, the fascists will still win.”
