[Olujare]

His reference to Obama use of HOPE: "Adolescent bravery or naive audacity"...hmm very deep....

[pawsglo]

I love you Mr West and Thank God for you... You are truly a gem to all people of all color. I will continue to listen to what you have to say because it really enlighten me.

Is this the guy that played Malcolm X in that Spike Lee Movie back in the 90's. Man he was good in that movie!!

[kcjustice08]

No. Denzel Washington played Malcolm X. Dr. Cornel West would have been good, but too short.

The reason that an ideology of hope in the face of oppression emerged instead of despair is because the people who despaired fell apart, and couldn't survive.

Nihilism has no creative products, and no cultural traditions; but that does not mean that there is, in fact, some truth in the cultural artifacts that did, then, emerge.

[CitizenNow]

How can one manifest transformative honesty in a corporate context where the very definition of "publicly-traded corporation" in the USA and in the western world has replete within it the (legally articulated) truth that NOTHING can ever come before the maximization of shareholder value, not even the public good?

I've got to pray on this one.

love you for loving west... nihilism is a world paradigm, specifically for the young. sad sad sad world. where will the next dr. west come from? he grew up in a nation of black folks striving for more. continually. how to inspire the young to take the best from the efforts of the past towards liberation and freedom when there's been the death of that impetus on all fronts?...hiddenbeach, get me to west.
