Cornel West on Tavis Smiley - Part 2

[rebelrouser444]

oh lawd they shoulda got the sound linked up with the image on this one.

[TheRnigel1]

@Xytos ...Ordinarily this would provoke a response from someone with a similar racist overtone which you so richly deserve. On the contrary, I'll only thank you for giving thought to one of the greatest intellectual minds in history(Dr. West) I suggest that you continue to become enlightened and concentrate issues far more significant than a video being out of sync(correct spelling). Stop wasting your time on trivial details that are of no consequence to the outcome.

[Xytos]

@TheRnigel1 it provoked a response from faggot (you), let's hope it inspire better editting when the video is uploaded. unless niggers are too stupid.

[TheRnigel1]

@Xytos ...There was a time when I would engage you in a useless diatribe regarding your ignorance because you amuse me. Unfortunately, it would be as pointless as this response. Therefore, this concludes our dialogue.

[Xytos]

@TheRnigel1 unfortunately, u still do. this is the second time you responded.

[Xytos]

@TheRnigel1 i just realized that you tried to correct my spelling on the word "synch" you're a fucking idiot. first off i was abbreviating the word (which is also spelled synch). and secondly, the whole word is spell as 'synchronization'. what a fucking dumb ass.

[Miah85]

@Xytos so angry

[MrTinman7788]

dumbass white supremacist that only talks shit on youtube, smh

@Xytos

[triplehorn]

audio and video are hideously out of synch, but Dr West is wonderful no matter what!

And masters, treat them the same way, without threatening them, because you know that both their and your Master is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with Him

—Ephesians 6:5-9

"..when thinking about slavery we tend to have in mind the recent slavery of the black race in America, and so the whole subject of slavery gets mixed up with the issue of racism. But in ancient times, slavery was not associated with any particular race. By condoning slavery the Bible does not approve of racism."

[jeoref]

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. Render service with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that whatever good each one does, slave or free, he will receive this back from the Lord.

[jaynemarieusa]

this guy is soooo deep and impressive. his messages really gets ya thinking.

[fctchk]

Perhaps one of the most tragic ironies of history - the African American embrace of Christianity or Islam; a type of Mass Stockholm effect:

"Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. " (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)

Your slaves are your brethren upon whom Allah has given you authority. (Hadith - Sahih Al - Bukhari 3.721)

[cloudhidden]

Without Christianity, we wouldn't have had a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Without Islam, we wouldn't have had a Malcolm X. Churches and mosques provided third places--places outside the racist political hierarchy of the United States--that allowed for the cultivation of black leaders and logistical centers without which the U.S. couldn't have had a Civil Rights Movement. No irony in that.

Keep listening to Dr. West and you'll learn about a prophetic (rather than priestly) Christianity.

[fctchk]

Followers of religion which incontrovertibly condones slavery in its "holy" books use the buildings where they normally practice their religion as logistical centers to organize the civil rights movement. I too am delighted it happened but that does not make it any less ironic.

Theology renders Mr. West's tenuous stature as an intellectual rather more so.

[CoasTbeaTs]

We r slaves in islam. Thats the main point in Islam to worship to submit your life to God, no muslim will deny that but that is what motivates muslims that they believe in this ultimate being who will care for those who cared for him

[3rdtrinity]

A great man with so much a captivating wisdom.

[DLSMaster]

I wish peple stop disin him he is the greatest mondern & postmondern thinker that GOD made. I have several of his books one called Race Maters another The Cornel West Reader & I have his CD CORNEL WEST & BMWMB Never Forget: A Journey of Revelations. He's is a person that will make you wake the H**l up & take a stand up for human rites, human freedom & human dignity. His words is filed with knowlege of the heart, wisdom of the soul & intellect of the mind. Peple can learn alot from him

[Facebook289]

how is the book race matters?

[DLSMaster]

It's the most prophetic & Illuminating book that I've ever read. It got me how not to become a raceist person!

[MAKANDA100]

I am glad to hear that Cornel West had such great influence on you. This man is my inspiration, and I think we need guidance from such men.

[CSD7038]

This man - Cornel West - talks like a book.

[MsDebate]

Now Cornel West is the BUSINESS...Very deep brother, and a wonderful analogy of going on a journey already equipped with what you need before you get there...

[blackroseflowers]

x how come y know me

[elilobo]

I don't think i've ever seen or heard someone who radiates so much empathy and humility for his fellow man.

[brandonihidalgo892]

Me either. If only we had leaders that were able to exhibit such good compassionate qualities, we'd be in a much better spot than we are today, both financially and morally.

[ahbevegede]

how prophetic you are

[wh0m33]

At 8:09 did he refer to himself as "Travis"?

[novembrrain]

[pdarius1]
