For those who the Humanities is a waste of our time in school, I say to you, how can being in Dr West's class not make you a better and more open person. Literature, Philosophy and Ethics are so important as a foundation in any vocation no matter the field. These are the bedrock of the sort of Society i want to live in. Thank You so much Dr West!!!

    Dear mr. West, I'm a Brazilian anthropology student whom so happened to walk on by this leccture you gave. I was so moved by the way you teach, almost floating between text and your own thoughts, connecting the work of W.E.B DuBois with our own present reality, of the youth who urges for more access to quality public edducation, with great symbols of human rights and social equality passed we now face a grimm future of incertities, insecurities and an infinite pile of concrete and subjective problems to face...
    It's such a powerfull experience to have someone your age to be able to create empathy with the next generation existencial questions...
    Anyway... hope to get some contact out of you and most of all, hope that you will know that somewhere in the mist, and under the veil, of latin america, in Brazil's Bolsonaro, a brazilian boy heard you and got moved...

      @@RussCR5187 I think just by what you define practical as not being poetic, one cannot mean that facing the truth doesn't require a keen insight as well as intellect. If you want practical solution, then, your practical approach should never be void of human compassion or respect. Those virtues are quite poetic and should be written in verse, but, if we do such things for the people we are ridiculed by others. Without poetry you cannot touch the humanity of people because poetry is like a flower, it takes time, effort, and love. Unlike the instant gratification of hitting a problem head-on just to solve it, every racial issue cannot be solved through a practical approach there is a deeper problem when it comes to human beings and their interaction, and interaction needs reform. One needs to look at poets, authors, and orators to know how to strengthen the collective consciousness as well teach black people to want a better life for themselves as individuals.

    Professor West, for years have I seen you present your erudition upon the critical issues that for generations have confronted us in the United States of America and the world. I have come to respect and admire you for your incisive, unrelenting candour and your abiding kindness.
    I bring to you this following, because I can find little else I can reach (and frankly, I can trust). I do so here, for my chief means to communicate with the wider world is through RUclips; and this through typing with just one finger on a ludicrously small keyboard, itself on a little screen.
    On the issues of race, racism, etc., I have so much to say--many just ques- tions, in an effort to understand, though I have a number of observa- tions, primarily of what most informal- ly call "white people"--and so much to learn.
    I shall begin with the most pressing of late. What is "woke"? My rudimen- tary assessment is that it is an effort of African Americans 1) truly to learn of their circumstances, 2) to determ- ine their way out, and to rise above, and 3) to end racism, toward making a United States of America that truly is free and equal.

It seems like the kind of comment that is so ignorant you wouldn't even reply, except that I hear this kind of logic all the time lately. I make 30k a year, Im not defending anyone I'm friends with, but there is a thing called reality and in that thing, there is a thing called hard work. People at Dartmouth had to work very very very hard to get in, regardless or how much money their parents make. Many many many people try to paint a picture of reality where all rich people are lazy and were handed everything they have, and that is just silly.
