    We have had many Presidential elected characters that have been put in position of power over the people in U.S. history. Too few actually put the need of the people over financial greed and corporate oppression. Having had those things run out of control to the point of leaving the American people in depression and distress. It would be my hope and prayer that We the people would be blessed to have Cornel West as our President in 2024.

      I did share your sentiments for a few seconds until it occurred to me that people like him have no business in politics. Our world needs people with his kind of humanity, intellectual brilliance and moral consistency.

      @@akpanekpo6025 true. Normally he would not be running for President but being that he is the best possible chance we have to help the people of this country and the world. He is willing to sacrifice his personal life for the sake of humanity. Cornel West for President in 2024 because Progressives never give up,never surrender.

    Just outstanding, a personification; a resurrection, of the epitome of a consummation of Western thought, and a pragmatic sensabilty of re-introducing the best of our traditions to ourselves--as U.S. President would be transformational.

    Cant understand his metaphoric expression of words..is he reading poem?

      I guess you don't understand 60s avant-garde jazz either. Because, West as an Afro-American rhetorician speaks from that jazz tradition. And, of course you would also have to understand much of the philosophy and theology references that he is making.

    He's just a wind bag. Just regurgitation of giant words, but no answers, especially no answers for the Black man.

      I used to have the same complaint for all philosophers. Until I understood that they are not supposed to do our job as autonomous individuals.

      @@andreselectrico This philosopher is a Black man who should be well aware that he will never be president (especially after Obama who he criticized). Professor Cornell was asked to bring up Cop City, every chance he gets. He said that he would, but has not. He said (out of his own mouth) that this is not the time to discuss reparations. Black people want reparations and an anti-hate crime bill for Black people. He has not mentioned either. He rails on about Palestine whom I support, but there are Jews here in America who are already protesting: "Not in our name."

      I had only a very quickly at each of his lectures. Yes, too many names as if he is supposed to show us that he has read and digested all of them. A good actor, no doubt. Not sure of his substance.

    Lost a lot of respect for him after some of his comments during the height of the BLM madness in 2020.

      He's certainly funny, which is something many seem to appreciate, including me.
      But, what's the relation of your question with the subject under discussion? Or, alternatively, have you an issue with his being funny?
