Cornel West Speaks at The Home Depot (3 of 9)

What exactly does he mean by "socratic"?

I love Dr. West; one best gift that america has given to the world. There is alot of love, compassion, dignity, equity, and realism in this beautiful African American. Yes, he's the most genious man I've ever listened to. Yes, he is my hero, second to Dr. M. King, of course! I don't believe in gods, empires, regimes, emperialism, supremacy, for they full of subconscious selfishness. I solute those with the courage to speak the truth, dignity, and the dream we all seek to achieve as human beings.

i love his love for philosophy, unike Luther who called reason and philosophy a whore, denying freewill too. There is a lot that is Catholic in Cornel West.

I'm certain to be able to know the type of person who would down play this speech. It's a tad bit shameful that the norm of this country is to discredit talks of race matters that are vivid as the ers of civil rights movements of the '60s. It's 2011, now, and what we look like and where we come from continue to have weight on acceptance....

This is a whole lot of Gibberish.

[ninika20032000]

yes Dr West, we all need to learn how to die to ourselves so other can live through us.

The other night at the Cheesecake Factory in Buckhead, I ate a steak and looked out on the MARTA stop, all those black bodies in the rain. I felt the ICE AGE. I was the ICE AGE. What to do? I ate steak, and watched basketball, where whites were "tough" and blacks "athletic."

[hymnofashes]

What is your point?

[Bebiri60]

Your dirge-like poem looks more like the mindset of a man whose demise is fast approaching. You ate steak, and ate steak again, and then watched basketball. By romancing with all those black bodies in the rain,and you being a creature of the ICE AGE, not of the human race, is like you have concluded plans for your return from 'womb to tomb'. Farewell!
