I would never speak out against another brother but I would speak to him personally or I wouldnt say nothing at all. I would respectfully ask if not Barack then who? Is he not a better choice than what exists now?
For you idiots talking about Blacks and the poor need to help themselves, what the hell are you saying? Most of you making these silly statements are not self-employed--you all work for someone or some company. If you were fired today, you will not be hired right away. You may not get a job for the next 2 years. Unemployed Blacks, Whites, Latinos, etc... are not unemployed because they chose to be in the situation. How are they going to help themselves when they don't have money?
...of charge cleaned his yard, totally fixed his house back up. Now everyone involved prob felt great about it & it was the kind of deed that encourages more good deeds. Very positive & likely worth more than the entire poverty tour that spreads only negativism.
"The smallest good deed is worth more than the grandest intention"
...at his silly poverty tour, purpose is to 'highlight' poverty. Yea I'm sure everyone will be real surprised that poverty exists. He could go around doing small deeds for poor people making a real difference instead of his abstract goal to end poverty. Like thats possible.
I saw on the news this thing they do for MLK b-day. Each year they attract volunteers & do a good deed. This year an old blind man who wasnt able to keep up with his yard, his house was a mess, etc. Well they went in free...
...thing you did, your poor b/c your a victim of rich people's agenda. So focus on that, get angry on that dont worry about a new job.
Its like if your kid wasnt doing so well in college & you knew he was prob. just slacking off, too much partying. Are you gunna say its not ur fault, ur more or less a victim here. Its ur damn professors they are to blame. No, you'd say drop the booze & hit the books. Its not a vacation, you can do this.
I dont see Cornell preaching encouragement. I mean look...
OK seriously can anyone see a scenario in which Cornell isnt whining about poor people. And honestly for all his bitching just what is he doing to help. Think about it all he ever does is focus on the negative, do you ever hear him talking about getting out of poverty. No, he just compounds the problem. What I mean is instead of encouraging people to stay positive, stay tough, work hard, perhaps help people get jobs he compounds the problem by saying oh your not just poor by bad luck or some...
I really wish that Cornel had not learned that new vocabulary word 'oligarch'. He's really beaten it to death at the expense of communicating a coherent message. It is a shame when verbal brinkmanship rules the debate instead of true intellectual thinking. I'm not sure there is anyone more enamored with his own speech than West.
Two Poverty Pimps.... Black People .. we don't need these two fools to bring ourselves up... We need to listen to Brothers like our President and stop crying and get busy...
@Drkprence, you stupid BITCH! Tell that to the Blacks that lost their jobs, and they're now living in their cars! Tell that to people that have no support, but have degrees, and they can't get jobs! You STUPID STUPID BITCH!!!!
I hated to have to go there, but your ridiculous comment warranted it. OBAMA hasn't done one damn thing for Blacks, so why would anyone with common sense support him?
I support your desire to vote for him, but do NOT call yourself thinking for the rest of us.
Thank you for your lucidity in the blinding fog, Professor West. The death of MLK hit me hard as a young person back then because he seemed to be one of our last beacons of moral authority before the lights went out on the sixties. If only we could see a return to the kind of idealism that inspires and awakens and energizes and elevates us because of and in spite of the crushing realities of our time. Your words and thoughts are uplifting to a lot of us because they are born of the same spirit.
@YouLaToya not a troll never been white never will be white a troll is one who side with tea party member.i for one support people with different opinions but to say obama is worse than bush and he gets away with a lot because he is black is plain stupid.you sound like one of those tea party loons to me.its not his job to fix everything is the black community we need to stop being lazy and do for ourselves
@montez254 ::Yawn:: I'll read your response when you learn how to structure a proper sentence... I took one look at your paragraph, saw no punctuation and said to myself, "I'm not even gonna waste my time reading that mumble jumble"...
@montez254 Dude, Obama is worse than bush on civil liberties and economic policy, but race shouldn't come into it. He doesn't get away with it because he's black at all, he gets away with it because the special interests run this country. He is either the same or worse than bush, don't get me wrong I still have hope that he means well but he hasn't pushed for anything to help any community other than wall street. He's a conservative, more so than Reagan
@montez254 You obviously need to leave both political parties alone, go read a book on what President Hoover said about, "black ethnic groups". --J. Edgar Hoover is a prime example...look into COINTELPRO, etc.
@montez254, why not?. the government depended on all that "free labor" on our behalf 500 years ago to become the most "powerful" and "wealthy" country in the world.
@GIONELLIO BLACKS ARE JUST AS BRAIN WASHED AS WHITES.. ITS NOT LIKE WE'VE HAD SO MANY BLACK PRESIDENTS BEFORE THIS ONE.. & WE PROBABLY WON'T GET ANOTHER ONE.. I'M NOT AN OBAMA SUPPORTER.. BUT MOST MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES OF ALL RACES BELIEVED THE SHIT HE PROMISED US.. & MOST ARE STILL HOLDING ON TO HOPE.. I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOUR COMING FROM BUT THINK OF THE ELDER BLACK PARENTS THAT NEVER THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD COME LET THEM FOR ONCE BE PROUD OF THIS COUNTRY & LEAVE HERE HAPPY
I dont know if anyone has read Karl Marx's theory of Marxism but there is a growing seperation who between those who have and those who have not. The revolution is coming
As an African American male who decided not to vote in the last election because i knew Obama wasn't gonna make good on any of the ridiculous promises he made I was ostracized and called an Uncle Tom. The concept of poverty is not gonna be understood by those who have never experienced it tho. No matter how hard you try to explain if you never been through it you wont understand it. And blacks use to fight for freedom, but having a black president made them afraid to criticize the govnmnt
@nakedyoga420 As an African American female, finding it necessary to exercise her right to vote, I went out & voted with some apprehension. Mind you, I did not do so blindly; from my research, I found that he wasn't great but he could not be nearly as bad as his predecessor. I was very wrong. He turned out to be far worst. Worst for the poor yet a perfect fit for the rich. & the kicker? He's black. Meaning he can commit the most heinous of crimes & he'll still have the support of black people.
@YouLaToya Indeed love. THats what the quandry and argument between West and Al Sharpton was/is all about. West has no problem critiquing Obama just as every other pres is scrutinized, but many black leaders like Al Sharpton view critics of a black president as selling out or uncle tomish... Its sad man. Its Booker T Washington vs W.E.B. Duboise all over again... Well survive tho. Thats what we always do... Its just time for us to be doing more than just surviving at this point tho
@montez254 Historically, African Americans have a tendency to get "unity" and "conformity" confused. Though they may indeed by synonymous, they are in no way synonyms. Maybe you can find solstice following a herd of sheep and not thinking for yourself just because the sheep herder is black, but i, my brother, cannot. I believe in society there should always be healthy debate about the right choices for humanity because everyone is different. If you support dumb niggas whats that make you??
@nakedyoga420 THE THING IS OBAMA IS NOT SOME DUMB NIGGA HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.YOU CAN CRITIC OBAMA BASH HIS POLICIES.TO SAY ITS A MISTAKE FOR THE MAN TO BE IN THE WHITE IS ONE BIG ASS JOKE TO M
@montez254 I agree, I would not consider Obama a dumb nigga, however your argument was not an endorsement of Obama. Your direct quote was "as a black man if youre against another black man consider you a sellout period" I wholeheartedly disagree. And tho Obama is unquestionably intelligent, the fact that he chose to surround himself with Wall Street and Goldmansachs afficianado makes him appear like hes now representing the goals of wall street rather than the goals he campaigned on.
05Bella1... Educated = horse, Jockey = commonsense.... All the education in the world will not justify your actions, if they are not 'JUSTIFIABLE'.... Unfortunately this is what alot of America is today... Horses with no control.... You can't teach commonsense in the classroom... Commonsense is nurtured! I see this everyday.... 'Woe to those who lead God's little ones astray'
They should start a charity instead of trying to get government to be a charitable organization.
Also Tavis said it himself that he's rich and is willing to pay more. Dammit Tavis, write the check! There is nothing stopping him or anyone else from paying more to the federal government than they are currently obligated to pay. Write the damned check if that's what you want to do.
Cornel West ought to take some time off and get his a** to the dentist. Either that, or fix him up with Condy Rice. They could entertain themselves by spitting peas through their gap teeth.
@dyad2r1 - Amen "brutha". That clown needs an "orfadonnus". These goons are just over-educated fools with flowery vocabulary. You'd think with all those words they love to configure into sentences, their comments would not be so stupid, empty and flawed. There is no such thing as Black America, or the Black Community. This is a flawed and doomed concept that these buffoons love to recite. We have ONE USA. Not a Black USA. We have ONE community, not a BLACK community. Angry racist media goons.
These jokers are a racist duet. Tavis is more prejudiced than the people he points the finger at and who he claims are racist. His entire goal in life focused on black issues. That creates division. They are both in love with the sound of their own speech and the catch-phrases they spew.
If you want minimum wage to be low, then YOU work for it! Styop demanding sacrifices of OTHERS, so you and your fat ass get fatter. Unless you're willing to SHARE the pain, stop asking others to carry the whole load while you whistle Dixie.
Stop being such God damn selfish bastards. How do you live with yourself?
Republicans have poisoned the minds of the masses, making them believe selfishness is cute. Be ashamed. Christians? Are you fu@king KIDDING me? Satan is YOUR God, you assholes!
Have they even watched the debates? Ron Paul is so is line with what they claim to support and the others are such a bunch of stuffed shirts how can they say there's nothing between the candidates?
Tavis/Cornel i am writting to you two to say you have to listen to what the president say. he said take off your house shoes? and put on your shoes he was telling us to march for whats right. and he cant say it stright out we must put on our shoes and MARCH boycott all the things we did in the past nothing will just come to us we have to MARCH on the things we dislike or the things we no thats wrong. dont put the president down listen to what he's really saying
By now Smiley and West have finished their "Poverty Tour." Did anyone notice it? Has anything changed. Has poverty decreased? Did Smiley and West make any difference in America's poverty in any way? While we're asking, has poverty decreased since the beginning of the "War on poverty"?
@anywayokay ..At least Tavis and Smiley are trying to do something to make a change.Lots of people do great things to try and help people that go unnoticed,does it mean they shouldn't do it
These two clowns had their poverty bus tour and it came and pass, they just get media coverage when they talk about Obama. The real puppets are West and Smiley....
@bartlettohio (con't) doesn't have the same grasp of growing up a Black American slave descendent on the continent, the family stories of discrimination and exclusion, and the frustrations and wisdom that comes with it. So I know where you're coming from...I'm not sure Obama does...but as disappointing as his presidency turned out to be, we have to realize what he's accomplished. That said, yeah, his policies weren't the change he promised AT ALL.
No true Christian who is Black could ever vote for Obama, if you think of yourself as being Christian and you are Black, you turned away from Christ in favor of racism, it is just that simple.

oh i can think of one candidate, RON PAUL. I think they're thinking that the mainstream or neocon/rino is an actual candidate. romney, perry, bachmann, that crowd...ech.
Webster G. Tarpley in his book, Obama "Making of Manchurian Candidate" completely described Obama's policies before he even secured the nomination. We need to stop trying to get justice from an unjust system. The entire system is corrupt - top to bottom. The definition of insanity, "To keep doing the same thing, expecting different results." Why do we continue doing this?
@northland100 Please do a youtube search for the video "The Secret" so you can learn where the majority of the budget of this country goes. It does not go to "poor people" that's why they are "poor people"!!! Neither do the "poor people" in this country have any "power or voice"!! Please listen to all these white men tell you where the trillions of American tax dollars are going. Amazing wall street criminals do not anger the people of this country as much as people on food stamps!!!
Obama is definately a puppet. The greedy capitalists and the jews run this country. President is got to do some singing papers and giving same old speeches to deceive his people. Obama knows he's a puppet but have not much power to do anything cause in this great democracy, you'll be called as 'DICTATOR'.
OBAMA IS A JUDAS but " Don't Get FOOLED AGAIN" So, PLEASE, Know WHO & WHAT you are REALLY SUPPORTING! GO TO THIS SITE 4 SOME BALANCE (Sorry I had to break it up for posting on YOUTUBE ) addicting info (1 WORD) organization >> 10-reasons-not-to-vote-for-ron-paul << I JUST WISH The REAL CONSTITUTION ALLY Dennis Kucinich would run FOR US To have a REAL chance TO RECOVER OUR SOUL & LIBERTIES !
@MrChameleon101-Can you please do some research on Ron Paul before you say ignorant shit. Ron Paul is better for this nation than all the other candidates COMBINED. ESPECIALLY OBAMA AND RICK PERRY-Both of which attended the Bilderburg meetings. VOTE RON PAUL 2012
@BLACKPUSSYPUNISH THE ANSWERS THAT HE GAVE AT THAT WACK ASS DEBATE WAS ALL I NEED TO HEAR. JUST REMEMBER WHO IT WAS THAT KILLED BIN LADEN ALL HAIL PRESIDENT OBAMA!!
I love Ron Paul, but will people stop posting Ron Paul 2012 on every political video. Paul is an intelligent physician and the republicans don't believe in evolution, do you really think he is going to win the primary?
Ron Paul 2012. I voted Obama last election, this time I will not be so ignorant. Anyone but Obama. He lied on everything, he turned out to be a neo-con disguised as a liberal progressive. First time I'm voting republican, no thanks Obama. Ron Paul is consistent, progressive and has real common sense. Look at his track record. Obama is inexperienced and easily persuaded. I should also mention the republicans don't stand a chance against Obama 2012 once he campaigns, unless they run Ron Paul...
Fuck you Peers. You didn't understand the revolution. You couldn't possibly understand anything else. stop being a douchebag, and just keep being a douchebag, You self important fucking fuck.... BTW I am the other guy fucking your wife... Fuck off.....
@pinz2220 or whatever... Yes im mad im not getting special favors! Fuck you and your expense! Obama needs to come to my house, do me a favor, AND KISS MY RING! Ps. Sarcasm. You ignorant biotch......
@freein2339 and obama is a great example of Black unity? Bush actually had a better record in supporting blacks more than obama. U blacks r so blinded by self pride that u would vote for a fascist, totalitarian black man and think of it as "change we can believe in"
@deNNyTheWiseMAN1 Bush's record on Katrina was great...so was his record on denying thousands of Black voters the right to vote in Florida during the 2000 "stolelection"....And yes Adolf....I am proud that we have a Black president but what I am not pround of is the fact that raicst nazis like you can't deal with that fact...And because your racism is not only for Black people , watch how the Hispanic vote goes for President Obama....
Ron Paul 2012! Obama has done nothing but lie and give speeches about something he promised in 2008, still talking the talk. He has done nothing, delivering empty promises.... He is out in 2012!!!!!
Shut up West & Smiley! There have been poor people for centuries. Where was your outrage during the last 4 administrations? You both puppets even if you don't know it.
@soccerguy - "Fuck! He's against gay marriage! I'll have to reconsider my vote in 2012."
Your statement is technically but not completely accurate,... This vid discussion was prior to his first election in 2008. He indicated since then that he was re-thinking his position and this has led to his support of gay marriage in various positions including refusal to support DOMA. I guess you can feel free now to support him 100% with no further criticism or additional reflection
Thank you Cornell and Tavis for speaking TRUTH. Tavis you said these type things of things about Barack a long time ago and you were unjustifiably persecuted. Thank you for staying strong brothers.
Our President is dealing with 2 wars a possible depression and an extreme right wing Congress! Are you kidding me? There is no place for attacking our President at this time.
This is to all U quasi intellectual, I can use big words, neophyte, semi-soul brother, who know nothing about poiticsor our government structure, idiots. He is The President of The United States, not Pookie & 'nem. If U knew half of what think U know, U'd know NOTHING is done without Senate/Congressional approval. HE DOESNT DO IT ALONE FREAKS. U goats act like he can pull jobs out his ass. U voted a man into a system U knew nothing about & now U blame him bcuz Ur still ignorant. Pick up a book
what's good youtube fam!!! brother west and brother tavis do brings up great points .. I can only hope we as a human race take it in .. Youtube fam check this channel out for me nef 2384
The lens through which politicians approache issues is re-election. The lifeblood of their re-election campaigns is political contributions. Our leaders are not leading. They need to put their feet in the shoes of working Americans…. Instead, all they think about is re-election and implementing United Nations Agenda 21 and ICELI. If you don't know what UN Agenda 21 and ICELI are, then LEARN before you vote!
Job programs? Mind speak for government hand outs. Stop the hand outs. They are the problem. Just speak the truth. Obama has screwed this country over. This is like watching the three stooges discussing economics...
@poet4you It's easy for a "poet" like you to talk shit when you probably have a job. When you're the one on the other side of things you'll change your tune.
@WanderingSamura1 Actually Samura I do not have a job. I did when Bush was in office but thanks to your boy obama the illegal alien i don't. Hell, my brothers make no sense to me at all. Vote for this dude because he is black. That is as racist as voting against him because he is. Black unemployment is up under obama and our people are too stupid to see it!
@poet4you "Black unemployment" lol, what a cop out. Last i recall you were elected President Obama, not Captain Save-a-Ho. Bush set the precedent for shitty jobs and a modern day depression, Obama came into harsh conditions trying to fix something that was steadily worsening before he was even elected. Don't blame Obama, blame Bush and partially blame yourself for wanting black people to get a special little raft when tides get rough for everyone. It's not a black thing, it's an America thing.
@WanderingSamura1 Hell man obama blames bush for everything. I bet he blames Bush when he can't satisfy that ugly ho he married. Ah baby, I is so sorry, it is that darn bush fault, he got my mine so mess up sweety. Give ole bubba another try at it sugar, le me spank that huge arse of yo please baby i all stress an all. Den yu can go plant that stupid garden and pretend you eatin right when i know you scarying some damn chicken accross da yard
@freein2339 Now, how would you really know that. You are such an arrogant, misguided, stupid man. I wouldn't waste my breath trying to teach you something. I have learned that you monkeys can only learn a little bit. Enough to be dangerous. You do talk a big game though. You da ma n dat no s i thin ta da.
@freein2339 you are such a piece of garbage......obama is a socialist piece of shit that your too stupid to realize doesn't give one shit about you...i have met the piece of garbage and he is just like all of you pieces of garbage..he is in the hamptons lookin after his brothas....stupid....fool
@poet4you So I guess that means you really are an unemployed loser living in a trailer park...Don't blame Obama cause you ain't worth two pounds of week-old dog shyt.....
VOTE RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2012. (check out his you tube vids) Copy and paste this wherever and whenever you can. ITS TIME FOR THIS FAKE ASS GOVERNMENT TO MAKE A CHANGE.

I love Cornell West, the only thing that I have to disagree with is when he said "end to the age of Reagan". It was obvious from the onset of Obama's campaign that he(BR) idolized Reagan and cited him(RR) as one of his inspirations, where was the foresight in backing a man who would say such things as a democratic front runner for Cmdr in chief? I am sorely disappointed in Obama as someone who voted for him and believed in this man's message, what a shame and fraud upon we the people!
Im black and cornell needs to shut up obama is dealing with enough just because hes black for a educated man such as mr.west to show the effects jim crow has on us mentally
@dc5024 Obama is not putting forth any effort toward the black community or the lower classes of America or trying to solve the unemployment issues. Their is no need to sugar coat anything just because he is a black president, did white people sugar coat George Bush or Richard Nixon when they fucked up in the white house. No. Obama is a liar right along those other presidents. I put Obama in the category right along with George Bush, A puppet.
@dc5024 haha u blacks r so blindly attached to the Socialist's agenda that u will won't vote him even if he ordered u to jump off a cliff. Quick, what is the Vice president's name?
We're dealing with over 30 years of "greed is good" and "me, myself and I, who cares about the other guy." In the 80s there was a name for this latter and they were called yuppies.
Barack Obama IS NOT A BLACK MAN. HE'S A MULATTO!!! Stop trying to pass these MULATTOS off as being BLACK. Ignore his PHENOTYPE, his mind is 100% CAUCASOID. ALL REAL BLACK PEOPLE TURN AWAY FROM THE MULATTO president and focus on BLACK UNITY!!!!
Amen to that! This mutt Barack Obama is nothing but the white man's tool in every sense of the word, he's done absolutely nothing for the common man and that unfortunately is us. It's a shame how up in arms these poor negros will become around election time, gotta back that fine black man who's done nothing for us! The one thing Obama knows is the black man will vote from a sense of emotion and select him, we need to learn the true politics behind this mascot.
Obama is NOT on the side of poor and working people. Tavis figured that out before he was elected and he got lambasted for it. We should've listened to Tavis.
These brothers have not changed. They were critical of bush and Clinton. Thier stances are the same now as they were 10 yrs ago. It's ok to be critical of Obama. They just want to see him do better. Me too. I will vote for Obama again cause the reps are horrible
These 2 brothers typify hypocrisy if I may interject here. Where was this dynamic DUO during the Clinton/Bush yrs? Poverty has always existed but I would ask is there some type of hustle going on among our Black media TV personalities and educators?
i used to respect West but his become tavis puppet. Obama managed to get into the whitehouse by avoiding idiots like these two. Tavis was an Obama hater even before he became president so fuck him
Im british and really cannot stand morgan, the two other guys i like

As an African American male who decided not to vote in the last election because i knew Obama wasn't gonna make good on any of the ridiculous promises he made I was ostracized and called an Uncle Tom. The concept of poverty is not gonna be understood by those who have never experienced it tho. No matter how hard you try to explain if you never been through it you wont understand it. And blacks use to fight for freedom, but having a black president made them afraid to criticize the govnmnt

@nakedyoga420 As an African American female, finding it necessary to exercise her right to vote, I went out & voted with some apprehension. Mind you, I did not do so blindly; from my research, I found that he wasn't great but he could not be nearly as bad as his predecessor. I was very wrong. He turned out to be far worst. Worst for the poor yet a perfect fit for the rich. & the kicker? He's black. Meaning he can commit the most heinous of crimes & he'll still have the support of black people.

West has no problem critiquing Obama just as every other pres is scrutinized, but many black leaders like Al Sharpton view critics of a black president as selling out or uncle tomish... Its sad man. Its Booker T Washington vs W.E.B. Duboise all over again... Well survive tho. Thats what we always do... Its just time for us to be doing more than just surviving at this point tho

@montez254 Historically, African Americans have a tendency to get "unity" and "conformity" confused. Though they may indeed by synonymous, they are in no way synonyms. Maybe you can find solstice following a herd of sheep and not thinking for yourself just because the sheep herder is black, but i, my brother, cannot.

@montez254 I agree, I would not consider Obama a dumb nigga, however your argument was not an endorsement of Obama. Your direct quote was "as a black man if youre against another black man consider you a sellout period" I wholeheartedly disagree. And tho Obama is unquestionably intelligent, the fact that he chose to surround himself with Wall Street and Goldmansachs afficianado makes him appear like hes now representing the goals of wall street rather than the goals he campaigned on.
