Cornell West is cracking me up

Church up in here

[MonsieurMercredi]

She really took me, and Atheist, to Church listening to her speak on Blacks and Obama. I'm so very pleased to have these Black activists representing my point of view.

it's amazing how much I changed by just clicking on a malcolm x video the opened my eye to this many black living scholars. I just hope by me being a visual artist that I begin to do my part. its also ironic that here at my HBCU NCATSU that I wasn't exposed to this much earlier.... but with each video I get I become more wiser... Thank you

What a humble man is cornel West!....He's that intelligent cos he knows how to listen to others'opinions.You can see him bowing down to others and pay attention to whatever they are saying in order to add to his ideal.I'm learning from you every day Cornel.God Bless you!

This sista can say two words and it will blow you mind. That is because she speaks some deep truth.

I think that this is not the agenda of the Black as much as it is really is a poor attempt to allow a wannabe Black man another term to show how he will really screw this country again to save face of the black caucus. Ignorance has no color line.

[Nubias]

My hero too!!..

[djamorpheus]

Cornel West, my homie, encouraging the truth tellers! Love the man, and love this woman.

How about talk about individual responsibility instead of blaming everything on everybody else.
