      Cornell West is a traitor to the black community, he is a pseudo-intellectual component of the leftist/liberal Democratic party. Education and knowledge means absolutely NOTHING when you will not be honest across the board. Calling Trump a fascist when he voted for corrupt Hilary Clinton is clearly an indication West just rambles the rhetoric of the Democratic party.

      Hillary (compared to Trump) was acceptable to majority of Americans. Trump was so unacceptable that it was a given Hillary would win. Heck, James Comey said as much.
      Plus, we all thought the doomsday scenarios were hyperbole; not voting was a vote for Trump was an exaggeration; voting third party was a vote for Trump was also an exaggeration.
      Too many people felt comfortable not voting...the next day...hmm, Trump was the next president.

    Dr. West is fabulous. If I had more university professors like him, I might have stuck it out in college, instead of dropping out. He is articulate; a natural teacher who can educate those who are ignorant of facts without sounding condescending to his audience. I learn something knew every time he speaks.

    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. Outcomes of misconduct could result in probationary periods, suspensions and in extreme cases, a ban from further hirings. It is important to practice self-reflection and be open to feedback, daily. All of us have a moral compass. Check it. Your ego is motivated by fear. We live in a universe of choice. My brothers and sisters, when we don't check ourselves, we are destined to wreck ourselves. When we abandon ourselves, it makes it easy for others to abandon us. Let everyone around you grow up! Thank you both for this insightful interview.

    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". They are polar opposites, and it is the intent of each to destroy the other system for its own sheer survival...
    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..

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.

      ​@@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.
