I have read Cornell West's "Race Matters", very average. What exactly does he do that impresses you so much?

Cornell West and this lady seem to think that they own President Obama.

Obama is half white, his white side of the family raised him, while his black father abandoned him. FACT. To try and act like President Obama's entire purpose in life is to exclusively help black people is absurd. This is a diverse nation, Obama has to tend to numerous needs, one of which is black people.

damn he's one man. they really expect this man to be the second coming? And how can they defend Hilary, comparing her presidential campaign to Harriet Tubman freeing slaves in the underground railroad. lol that's ridiculous!

@dharmaatdawn Why is everything in your country a war? Why can't it just be "helping poor people"?

@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

MLK had absurd black opposition too.

"Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torments of man." - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche. LOOK AT THESE EUROPEAN EDUCATED SO CALL SCHOLARS USING THE WORD HOPE. PEOPLE HOPE, BELIEVE/BELIEF, FAITH, WISH, WANT ARE ALL OPPRESSORS WORDS, ENSLAVED MENTALITTY WORDS. RUN FROM THESE ELITIST BLACK AMERICANS AS FAST AS YOU CAN. THEY ALL ARE BRAIN/MIND DAMAGE DANGEROUS. THEY LOVE TO TALK AND NOT DO THE DIVINE RIGHT THING. UNCLE AND AUNT TOMS.

Brother Barack is a post-modern men ( whatever that means).. He didnt want even to declare war on poverty. Obama is the establishment....

@Habitually233 I don't give a damn if hisafrican father abandoned him or his white mother fancied black men however I do know if HEcan deal with GAY PEOPLE, LATINA ISSUES and all these specific groups why NOT specifically address the AFRICAN ISSUE...He can't because he is an illuminati PUPPET

@Habitually233

You almost seems to make sens, but then if you put thing in perspective criminalisation of young blacks, inner city proverty, all this race related problems are most serious problems of USA (ok, second to imperialistic wars overseas). We got used to white presidends ignore it, and I do understand why West hoped that half-black presidend would adress it.

i would like for you to point out the obama policies initiated that are helping out the average person OF ANY SKIN COLOUR who makes less than 50,000 a year. oh, besides the gay ones that can now go give their lives for oil and imperialism. go ahead, what has he done for YOU and YOUR PAYCHECK, how has YOUR LIFE IMPROVED since he took office?. go ahead. i'm waiting.
