      Bernie is a sell-out - a sheeple-herder that never intended to win. He was a gatekeeper for Hillary because she is AIPAC-beloved and he is an Israel-firster. He threw his supporters under the bus as they told him in real time that the nomination was being stolen. The con was set up even before the race started as alluded to in a Podesta email. Bernie pushes Russiagate and admits he’s a Zionist. He supported the same candidate as Dick Cheney endorsed.

      "The Maduro government in Venezuela has been waging a violent crackdown on Venezuelan civil society, violated the constitution by dissolving the National Assembly and was re-elected last year in an election that many observers said was fraudulent. Further, the economy is a disaster and millions are migrating.”

      Your argument (a straw-man fallacy) of having a hispanic/black niece and bi-racial family - is irrelevant, and doesn't make you an expert, your argument doesn't give a counter-argument, just hostile tones and ad-hominem attacks against *****
      Nobody said anything about leaving other ethinicities in the cold. No stereotypes are used in most of the equality arguments, we can use statistics to show there is inequality, especially in the southern states. IMHO We are all striving for equality, we should be able to acknowledge the areas that are unfair and have civil discussions, not name calling. Bring valid points to the table of ideas, otherwise you just embarrass yourself and you only prove some validities to the argument, at least acknowledge that it is an argument worth having.

      The Creature from the Seventh Chamber : Okay, but, what is it you don't agree with him on?? Be specific, please. This cat, Dr. West is a huge intellectual, yet speaks in down to earth lingo style. You really don't have a problem keeping up with issues being discussed; unlike Dr. Eric Tyson ( by the way ' didn't know Dr. West was his mentor). Dr. Dyson speaks in lofty images, sometimes too shrouded in historical analyses before landing on the subject matter; in other words, displaying his intellectual chops for all to know when listening to him. He does this no matter where he's appearing, News Networks, talk shows what ever. It's the only thing I wish he would leave off of. We can read this aspect of his greatness when there is more time to digest the point he's making. Dr. West does the same thing but we are better able to follow the point being made. Tim Wise speaks with the same tone, shall we say, though he could go off on a lofty tangent as well if he wanted to. Not putting him in the same class as these two giants, but, I'm not so sure. These cats have been at it a long, long time. Kudos, and thanks to all three of them.

    I love Cornel West but I've only recently become familiar with Laura Flanders and I'm so appreciative of her work. Very few journalists do this type of thing!

    Small thing, but I'm so glad he actually said "Sister Manning." It really parches my potato when people address her as a "he." I feel like they are just trying to passively discredit her identity.

    I've always liked Cornel. Glad he seems to favor Sanders. Funny though, when asked about Sanders, Cornel brings up Israel. Far as I've gathered Sanders IS for a 2 State solution. But why does it always come back to Israel? Even from Cornel? C'mon man.

    I came to Mexico in 1962 at age 20. Acapulco was my favorite, and I spent 0ver 60 years visiting and living in Mexico. I moved in 2021 to Queretaro at age 79, and I love this safe, friendly and beautiful city. It is a cool temperature, and earthquakes were my deal breakers for beautiful Acapulco. It is less expensive here, and all utilities are included in my beautifully furnished apartment. rent, and also a maid and security. San Miguel is next door. I have been speaking Spanish as a second language since age 14.
    USA became too deadly and expensive. Enjoy everyone.

    "Righteous indignation" -- CORRECT...
    In light of the TPP, there is no doubt
    that the President is morally corrupt.
    Bernie is weak on foreign policy, but the ruling class
    will clean his clock for being a "democratic socialist."
    Internationalism vs. nationalism, spot on Dr. West.
