This is beautiful! Wisdom from this brotha is always beneficial and worth the time. I appreciate all black intellectuals and for my beautifully intelligent Spelman Women I love all of you all
West may be speaking here because he is a highly acclaimed academic that examines issues of race and gender and higher learning. He sees these intersections of oppression holding back great people throughout history. He's an activist for the cause of humanity; therefore a great inspirer to those graduating I think.
@yawngod: Gender is not an issue when it comes to humanity. The meme is what's more important in this address.

Dr. West is a master.
