  • Yeah "lack of documentation" and "Chomsky" in the same sentence = FAIL.

  • Are you kidding? He talks constantly about how he has extensive documentation in all of his writings... If you are telling the same old story in service of power, then you can say whatever you want without any documentation whatsoever. But if you question assumptions in opposition of power, like Chomsky does, then the standards of proof are very high. Read any of his books and you will find references that number in the hundreds in one chapter.

  • @SuperSamuel972

    He does mention African-Americans.. Maybe watch the entire interview before dismissing it.

  • What's the song at the start?

  • Chomsky is once again, spot on in his views and insights! One day, "mankind" will move forward. :) Cheers!!

  • "Which are the steps we need to be taking as humanists to bring better understanding between mainstream Americans and the Muslim community?"

    "The only advice is the simple virtues, which everyone knows: education, organizing, interactions, interfaith groups, others. Just try to overcome the racism, the fears, the hostilities."

  • hate to lower the tone with such a trivial question on a Chomsky video, but what is the music at the start and finish?

  • @MaxwellGreene1 She's not hot, loser.

  • Hot chick in the background. Yes, yes, and......yes.

  • It's funny how people on youtube argue over what Chomsky says. Go to school or college or better yet university. Have a debate there.

  • is there an uncut version?

  • @babayabadabadu It was your idea....
