Tired of these “firsts”! Obama cured me of that mentality. I want policies that meet the needs of a diverse set of Americans, not a diverse group of people pushing policies that reinforce the systemic oppression of many Americans!

So much truth being spoken within 15 minutes - all of which should just be common sense. As a middle aged white guy from Europe i almost don't know anything about Cornel West (although i could instantly identify him from the thumbnail), but i have to agree with everything he said here.
Thank you so much don't stop Professor, the people need to understand there is not a superman in our government that can rescue us many more changes need to be made.

Danny upon meeting me said - you a hell of a piano player as he forcefully shook my hand. Dr. West jumped up gave me a colossal hug and said - he's right. His exuberance is for real !
Dr. West is fabulous. If I had more university professors like him, I might have stuck it out in college, instead of dropping out.

Just as universties have an office of student academic integrity, there needs to be a department of integrity within the administration. I would love to see Mr. West be the Director of this department. This department would serve to remind the "adults" who have chosen to be members of the administration, that they are required to demonstrate integrity in all conduct.

Just consider the possible alternate history that could have taken place had Nader won. No economic crash, no two endless wars, prosperity for most, no all Trump all the time.
I truly respect Brother West, but there was NO valid excuse to vote for an Oligarchichal party, regardless the circumstance.. We can NOT be both an Oligarchy and "Dem Republic".

We pledged our Allegiance to the Republic, it never said to back and support a monarchy, or even the current Oligarchy, its Oligarchichal parties, or hand-picked candidates.... It is a betrayal to the Republic.. Cornel wants to go all Frederick Douglas, while many are ready to go John Brown, and rid ourselves of both Oligarchichal parties..
Love Brother West when he speaks. He goes beyond politics, gender, race- he is grounded in moral responsibility for humanity and always considers the opposing perspectives with Love.
Cornel West is such a gift. I've never met him but its hard to understate how much he has had an affect on my world view. Encouraging me to be compassionate and empathetic. I also love how self aware he is about how he can just keep going when you let him, and laughs when Mehdi has to interrupt him.
Imagine all of the people Dr. West could reach and teach if folks could not be blinded by their assumptions of him based on how he presents visually? Their loss, i guess.
A powerful man to listen to. I wish I had him as an instructor. I bet the students would be very engaged. A lot to learn there with so much to unpack for a greater understanding.

We pledged our Allegiance to the Republic, it never said to back and support a monarchy, or even the current Oligarchy, its Oligarchichal parties, or hand-picked candidates....
It is a betrayal to the Republic.. Cornel wants to go all Frederick Douglas, while many are ready to go John Brown, and rid ourselves of both Oligarchichal parties..
It had to be done. No way around that one. As it is, gangster Trump is going to have to be dragged out.
Love Brother West when he speaks. He goes beyond politics, gender, race- he is grounded in moral responsibility for humanity and always considers the opposing perspectives with Love.
The four horses of the apocalypse are poverty, militarism, racism (et al), and materialism.
I can't bored when west is talking. I love
You hit the nail on the head and Tell the truth and shame the devil, Dr.West.
Whenever I'm not okay with Biden I just remind myself of Donald Trump
Cornel West is such a gift. I've never met him but its hard to understate how much he has had an affect on my world view. Encouraging me to be compassionate and empathetic. I also love how self aware he is about how he can just keep going when you let him, and laughs when Mehdi has to interrupt him.
How do i like this twice?
I always learn something, and feel something, when Brother Cornell speaks. And hats off to Mendi, great interview!
Love Brother West. He's going to keep things real regardless of who you are, and always tells you from a place of love , and concern.
@Hello Marlen how are you doig?
Cornal, as always brilliant! Love you, love your message. Thanks for your voice!
Imagine all of the people Dr. West could reach and teach if folks could not be blinded by their assumptions of him based on how he presents visually? Their loss, i guess.
This show just came up a notch.
Thank you! I needed my dose of Dr. West’s common sense and love. I am uplifted.
I wished that every network was rushing to give Cornel West his own show...
Amen to that!!!
I love his values.
More diverse predatory capitalism ...!!!
Comrade West at his very best !!
Cornell West instantly makes any show better.
I'm a biden supporter but...Nowhere in this video do I see a "guide of why to be ok with biden" being spoken about..
If only politicians were as principled in their politics as brother Cornel West is in recognizing everybody as brothers and sisters.
Dr. West gives me life!!
A powerful man to listen to. I wish I had him as an instructor. I bet the students would be very engaged. A lot to learn there with so much to unpack for a greater understanding.
Morally consistent? Or political and self-serving expediency? We need to choose better.
Thank you for bringing Dr.West to your show. A true American leader for all poor and working class people of the whole World ! #🙏🏽4️⃣🌎✌🏽❗️
Thank you Dr.West for always speaking truth to power !
My brothers in the struggle !
Two living heroes.
"Harvard's BEST talking."
One of the most interesting speakers. Smart. Learned. And able to communicate.
"Padrisimo."
Dr. Cornell West is definitely one of my favorite vocal intellectuals. I started following him more than a decade ago. Now I don't have to have a dictionary on hand whenever I read his material. Thank you Dr. West for enlightening me.
Cornell West is so wholesome, PogChamp
love how he gets just a yes or no question to start off with, and goes on for several paragraphs.
(and this is really meant only with love)
Blessed thing: critical thinking! Right on, Cornel!
First time watching this show. Dr. West brought me here!! Excited to see more.
It's been a while since I've seen brother Cornell. I disagree with him on a great many things, but he's always thought-provoking, even entertaining in a way. :-)
What issues do you disagree with him on??
@@genejohnson8631 Primarily religion (I'm an atheist and an anti-theist), though I also disagree with his apparent fondness for Marxism and hatred of capitalism. He also obviously respects Noam Chomsky, whom I see as a hack and a one-trick pony.
That said, I love his articulate and entertaining approach to philosophy, and I like his clear-minded approach to bigotry and his insistence that, in the end, we're all 'brothers and sisters.' He appeals to the better angels of my nature, and these days that's sorely needed.
Iam a black man and I disagree with cornel west too not because you can articulate well gets you any cusps from me
@@pcbacklash_3261 I am so pleased to see how someone can disagree with certain things a persons says and not want to annihilate that person. Give credit its due, and be discerning in our thoughts. The only way to get out of this quagmire.
One of a kind!
Dr. West is 100% right about Obama! 🤦🏽♀️
Thanks Prof, for everything..
💪💪🏼💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿
We have to highlight the suffering of the poor! Too often we tokenize one successful person of the marginalized race, gender or sexuality. Instead we need to continue to push for systemic changes.
Good interview. Doctor West always blasts through the BS, no matter the source, and gets right down to it.
