@mowgli2071 yeah lol well he looks like that guy that always be like "you took that to a whole nudda level" an i even seen tavis say that line but eh lol tavis is very smart an i wish i had a job where i could meet an talk with bright people
ha, there's an interview with Christopher Lasch that also delineates between hope and optimism; both men side with hope. Great minds think identically alike.
The tie between property taxes and school funding must be eliminated, big business must embrace a more aware realization of wealth distribution if they are to survive, the curriculum must needs be rrlevant once more
when he was talkin about success and greatness..rage against the machine popped into my head..because all though they where very successful monetarty wise..they never went back on there spreading the message of undemocratic greedy hand free capitalism..cornel west is what i like to call a "proper" christian if there was such a thing..his teachings progress a society to where everybody has the chance to be equal..i saw him speak live (FOR FREE) and it took me to a whole nother level..hes great
Anybody who has something negative to say about this man is the reason why our country is in the state its in right now...don't dismiss his message just because you dont understand it...try to read a book every now in then...maybe start with the Bible.lol...everything he touches on has been written!
"vanilla suburb" I find the word offensive.. like he just could have said white... other than that I loved the speech but come on cornel with that stuff.
@FrenchyDuckbill He talks with character/creativity/intelligence. Vanilla is more accurate than white (white and black are exaggerated) and suburbs are in fact loaded with white people who, for the most part, are exactly alike (I know from growing up white in a cliche suburb). I think you're offended because you want to be, not because it's logically right to be. Don't be so sensitive.
@MrPixlCrushr Ya I might be offended because I want to be, not because It is logical. exactly alike? I like in an almost all white town in Alliston, have lived in Barrie, Toronto were not at all alike, at least i am nothing like my neighbors, my friends who live around me? a bit, but for the most part that is very false.
@FrenchyDuckbill Go to a mostly white, middle class American town, get a job at a retail or grocery store, and observe the people. Very false? You just proved my point in what you said. You aren't like your neighbors and your friends are a bit like your neighbors. Next time don't skip my "for the most part." No shit a couple of kids are going to be different.
@MrPixlCrushr our trying to prove most people are the same.. like just shut up your stupid, learn to exspress a point better for the sake of people around you.
@FrenchyDuckbill What? You're gonna have to type your sentences more clearly. I honestly don't understand your English (assuming you're French Canadian by the name). And you need to chill too.
"A Vanilla Suburb" I wonder what he means by that? If you actually analyze what he says, it is utter gibberish, just vague concepts of hope, faith, and social justice given gravity with an excessive use of lengthy verbs. The reality is that he's just another money grubber himself, making personal appearences at the expense of his classes, hence him getting the boot from Harvard (or resigned as they prefer to say) and running to Princeton where they better tolerate his lack of attendance.
What a total fraud, a cheap hack, and he is supposed to be a professor. As bad as say Rush Limbaugh is, at least he might admit he is an entertainer. This guy is utterly delusional.
@JosephusBlowesus: is that what you have to say upon witness such intelligence???? wow, you my friend will never see life and everything good will pass you by...sad but true..... Because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones.....done.
I am a Hispanic and I think Cornel West is brilliant but I just don't believe in his Christian Ethos. I instead believe that African-Americans and Hispanics need a Superman philosophy not a Slave Morality like Christianity.
@elmasloco15 Superman?!, what BS. You sound like you have the mind of a 6 year old, who needs some comic book hero. Maybe it is due to your backwards hiSPanIC mind
@elmasloco15, I agree with you for African-american and Christianity, African pantheons and philosophies ares full of knowledge which need just to be dusted off and reactivated (read Odera Oruka, and about Ubuntu phislosophy) christianity like Islam are the religions of our oppressors these "taylor made spiritualities" have distroyed the spirits of so many of us all along our History... But it's hard to make people understand it, people are intellectually lazy they like it the easy way...
He's not a great intellectual man, just someone who knows the difference of good and bad people and can define it in terms where we can understand it clearer or in different ways.

fucking nigger... obviously poisoned by Universal Judeo Christianity... Only the Adamic White race can be Christians... Niggers are creatures of the fallen ones..
@UrmiyeKurd yet another dumb mother fucker who doesn't know shit... Christ was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah. He was not a Palestinian. There exists in the Library of Congress a Letter written by Pontius Pilate to Tiberius describing Christ's features. He had golden blond hair and was white with blue eyes..
@H8ISGR8 hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhaahahahhaah and spoke with a brittish accent hahahah the israelites are semites you ignorant fuck, go to tel aviv and find a blond har blue eyed jew hahahaha
@UrmiyeKurd the today jews have many blond people don´t mix up the ancient jews with today jews. and urmiye kurd is doesen´t matter thats not our problem.
@UrmiyeKurd why is it your problem that Israelis aren´t blond? while genetic tests have proven that most Israelis are somehow between european and middle eastern.
@Ravengaurd6 unless you know the Old Testament and are willing to read authentic ancient history books, you won't get it.. True Israelites are White and not mixed with any other race. The Prophet Jeremiah's grace is in Ireland. All the European nations were created by the tribes of Israel. Judah settled in Germany, and Scotland. The Tribe of Dan settled in Denmark or Danmark as it used to be called. Palestinians are all of mixed raced people, just like their counterparts the Jews..
@H8ISGR8 Although I'm sure Hitler would agree with you, few if any prominent Christians would agree with you. You must, at the very least, realize that your views are so far in the minority that you probably need to adopt a different strategy if you actually want people to start thinking in ways that are kindred to you. As a former mental health worker, I sense some religious preoccupation and delusions stemming from psychosis? You off your meds?
@UrmiyeKurd keko the old folk of filisters are maybe the ancestors of todays palestinian but they were jews. And Jesus was born as a Jew thats a fact at that time there didn´t existed christian and muslim people. After Jesus died the Christian religion developed. the old egyptian religion was the ancestor religion of Jews the jewish was the one of christians and the Islam is the descent of this older Religions. Muslims count all from abraham to jesus as prophets.
@dataman121 I didnt say muslims or jews!!!!! The land was PALESTINE it says so even in the Bible. Jesus was a jew and jews are semites and semites are not white with blond hair, bo xo tekal deki min che gotiye te
@UrmiyeKurd kuro ma ez dekevime bara te? cima tu arî filistina deke ma te hic dîtiye go filistinek cuye ba turka u arî kurda kirîye? filistine wedere hemu weki hevale turkane je ber we ez debejim nekeve bara wa ma cima derdê te ye?
@dataman121 Speak english up in here, moronic nigger! Your greasy lost ass is not impressing anyone with that fucking bullshit made up garbage that you posting. Your prophet Muhammed sucks, and so do you. May you both rot in Hell.
@dataman121 "@ToughSlr imspeak in which langauge i want stupid nigger go get some food for your ghetto bitch." Damn slug, if this is your best english, please go back to that gibberish you were posting before. Sorry, I forgot you Muslim maggots are real short on education..
@H8ISGR8 I guess u have to kill urself cause u have a black gene in you like every other human...hurry up before u procreate with ur mother and sister and the cat...
@ AresCitadel I agree that many of today's so-called leaders are stuck in the past and lack leadership qualities. However, Black people are the ONLY people who are viewed negatively when they attempt to work as a group, unlike any other group. The idea should be to THINK before we act, whether as a group or individuals. Both, in moderation and used effectively will have great yields. Take notes from groups who work EFFECTIVELY together.
I think out of all the thinkers and intellectuals, the black community has some of the smartest, well-spoken, educated, and inspiring leaders. Cornel West, Michael Eric Dyson, Tavis Smiley, Louis Farrakhan, Julia Hare. Putting your politics aside, you have to admit these are some very smart men and women that the black community, and all ethnicities can look up to. I wish we had intellectuals in the Native Hawaiian community like these people
Cornel West was the man who rescued my truth starved persona when this all started. As for how my brother forms arguments: spot-on congruent : like air actually.
Does this guy make any sense to anyone. Always with his non sequiturs and his use of "big" words that actually befuddle the listener. Today I just saw the show Monique on BET and he made no sense. " George Clinton gets my visceral element..." Monique "Now what is your viserna?" "Now now uh whats that? Well you see we are all human and that comes from Latin Humanda, bla bla feathers and you come into this world between urine and defecation" sorry no transcript, someone post the video please.
@dubhfionn When you have read as much as he has read, those words come naturally as well as the intelligence and wisdom that he has. If you don't understand, maybe you're the one with the problem, not him.
@dubhfionn Yes, Cornel makes a lot of sense. There's nothing wrong with using "big" words, that's ignorant nonsense. Just because you have to listen closely doesn't make his messages any less precise.
Who cares. Why do Africans in America listen to a homosexual professor at an all-white university? One who pretends to speak and/or fight for our issues? Who's fault is that? Same goes for Tavis, Eric Michael Dyson, Al Sharpton, Messy Jesse, The Congressional Black Coma, TD Snakes, Creflo, TOM Joyner, Bill Cosby, the list goes on. NONE of these cartoon characters talk of building a nation for AAs in Africa. Sissies!!!
Your a FAGGOT for real.You IDiOTS act like you dont like blacks,but your BEASTIALITY,DOG SMELLING,GAYMAKERS always following and listening to us...GO FUCK YOURSELFS....and stop looking at black people sites!!!!
@SuperProphet100 The burden is on YOU to prove me wrong? What facts do you have to refute my words? Or are you just another personality worshipping lemming do nothing? I never hear Homo West talk about creating a nation for AAs on African soil. You love Amerikkka don't you? You love the racism and not owning or controlling anything don't you?
DEVIL,the burden is'nt on me,it.s on you FOOL,you made the statement with no merit,and STOP acting like your BLACK devil,us blacks are smarter then you think...After all we invented everything after been robbed of knowledge.You white folks are really SILLY!!(JEALOUS)
@terrapin52 Mr. West is an intellectualy BANKRUPT poodle for the Racist White Establishment. As Black people we are sheep led on a conveyor belt to the slaughter by these Judas Goats; our self proclaimed "leaders". The boule braintrust are a bunch of rhetoric dope pushers and cowardly individuals who in 2010 are STILL talking about a "Black Agenda". No vision, no plan, no execution.
@terrapin52 Oh do you now? Well, Black People haven't an "ordinary-every day" history in this racist country. As Black people, that kind of thinking has gotten us nowhere. 46 years later, we own and control nothing in Amerikkka. This is by design. Partly to do with listening to these "trained seals" (no disrespect to seals, of course), in the system of White Supremacy.
@aiynaiy I am a citizen of the world. I am also fallible. African Americans don't have a monopoly on trouble, especially in this day and age. When are we going to get past color, people?
@terrapin52 "When are we going to get past color, people..." As soon as white people replace the global system of white supremacy with justice. Can you do that as a "citizen of the world"?
@aiynaiy Read Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States or watch "People Speak". Those in power NEVER willfully give up ANY of their power unless they are forced to do so. When the people demand justice and refuse to support those in power through taxes, work, votes, purchasing products etc... their power is jeapordized and they must bow to the will of the people.
The House Negroes Got to Go Movement has begun. A black baby got beat in the head with a hammer and killed: DA said they didn't have enough evidence to arrest the mother. I have had it with these house negroes talking about somebody called them a nigger and our people are being exterminated and they are trying to silence us. They shouldn't have sign that health care bill until we got Reparations.
This white guy loves Dr. West. I would go to Princeton just to have him as a professor. byan85, I'm with you, I could listen all day too. You too, wwllyywwmmppss, he does have that amazing ability to affect people with his soul and words, his whole being. A very spiritual human being. Keep doing what you do, Brother West!
Dr. West has a way of laying the heaviest shit on you, and at the same time making you feel like light and free like a child, and full of energy and drive. Powerful words; Thank You DR. West!
I love the wisdom that God has given Dr. West. It's a message that is so hard to accept, but it is so full of truth. Keep sharing from your heart and mind. There are those of us who are listening closely and being transformed in the process.
This motherfucker is nothing but an ignorant racist with a "whitey owes me" attitude. He blames all the "suffering" that black people go through on whites and spews nothing but pure racist garbage. He actually had the audasity to say that 9/11 made white people feel the way blacks do everyday; terrorized, unsafe, and subject to violence. Maybe some of you idiots should get to know him before treating him like the Messiah.
hahaha nice little racist comment there brotha. That all you can say? When you want to come at me with some legit matter let me know. I mean, holla at me son.
SSsshhhhhh....this is what profits sound like....we only get one or two per generation.....please listen.....I am.

Ravengaurd6 1 year ago
@Ravengaurd6 unless you know the Old Testament and are willing to read authentic ancient history books, you won't get it.. True Israelites are White and not mixed with any other race. The Prophet Jeremiah's grace is in Ireland. All the European nations were created by the tribes of Israel. Judah settled in Germany, and Scotland. The Tribe of Dan settled in Denmark or Danmark as it used to be called. Palestinians are all of mixed raced people, just like their counterparts the Jews..

@H8ISGR8 Although I'm sure Hitler would agree with you, few if any prominent Christians would agree with you. You must, at the very least, realize that your views are so far in the minority that you probably need to adopt a different strategy if you actually want people to start thinking in ways that are kindred to you. As a former mental health worker, I sense some religious preoccupation and delusions stemming from psychosis? You off your meds?

@UrmiyeKurd keko the old folk of filisters are maybe the ancestors of todays palestinian but they were jews. And Jesus was born as a Jew thats a fact at that time there didn´t existed christian and muslim people. After Jesus died the Christian religion developed. the old egyptian religion was the ancestor religion of Jews the jewish was the one of christians and the Islam is the descent of this older Religions. Muslims count all from abraham to jesus as prophets.

@ AresCitadel I agree that many of today's so-called leaders are stuck in the past and lack leadership qualities. However, Black people are the ONLY people who are viewed negatively when they attempt to work as a group, unlike any other group. The idea should be to THINK before we act, whether as a group or individuals. Both, in moderation and used effectively will have great yields. Take notes from groups who work EFFECTIVELY together.

I think out of all the thinkers and intellectuals, the black community has some of the smartest, well-spoken, educated, and inspiring leaders. Cornel West, Michael Eric Dyson, Tavis Smiley, Louis Farrakhan, Julia Hare. Putting your politics aside, you have to admit these are some very smart men and women that the black community, and all ethnicities can look up to. I wish we had intellectuals in the Native Hawaiian community like these people

Partly to do with listening to these "trained seals" (no disrespect to seals, of course), in the system of White Supremacy.
