AMY GOODMAN: Where?
CORNEL WEST: In Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen. So when he comes to talk about the killing of an innocent person, you say, "Well, wait a minute. What kind of moral authority are you bringing? You’ve got $2 million bounty on Sister Assata Shakur. She’s innocent, but you are pressing that intentionally. Will you press for the justice of Trayvon Martin in the same way you press for the prosecution of Brother Bradley Manning and Brother Edward Snowden?" So you begin to see the hypocrisy.
Then he tells stories about racial profiling. They’re moving, sentimental stories, what Brother Kendall Thomas called racial moralism, very sentimental. But then, Ray Kelly, major candidate for Department of Homeland Security, he’s the poster child of racial profiling. You know, Brother Carl Dix and many of us went to jail under Ray Kelly. Why? Because he racially profiled millions of young black and brown brothers. So, on the one hand, you get these stories, sentimental—

I'm with this ? , yo..........Brother West is the MLK of our time, just smarter and better read.
-
I'm with this ? , yo..........I feel cornell on this. So much of politics is theater these dudes speak and don't mean a single word of what they are saying.
Black folks with this religious mentality have accepted obama as pastor and just get led like sheep.
it's cool that someone has temerity to check obama. -

CORNEL WEST: Well, no, that’s beautiful. That’s an identification. The question is: Will that identification hide and conceal the fact there’s a criminal justice system in place that has nearly destroyed two generations of very precious, poor black and brown brothers? He hasn’t said a mumbling word until now. Five years in office and can’t say a word about the new Jim Crow.
And at the same time, I think we have to recognize that he has been able to hide and conceal that criminalizing of the black poor as what I call the re-niggerizing of the black professional class. You’ve got these black leaders on the Obama plantation, won’t say a criminal word about the master in the big house, will only try to tame the field folk so that they’re not critical of the master in the big house. That’s why I think even Brother Sharpton is going to be in trouble. Why? Because he has unleashed—and I agree with him—the rage. And the rage is always on the road to self-determination. But the rage is going to hit up against a stone wall. Why? Because Obama and Holder, will they come through at the federal level for Trayvon Martin? We hope so. Don’t hold your breath. And when they don’t, they’re going to have to somehow contain that rage. And in containing that rage, there’s going to be many people who say, "No, we see, this president is not serious about the criminalizing of poor people." We’ve got a black leadership that is deferential to Obama, that is subservient to Obama, and that’s what niggerizing is. You keep folks so scared. You keep folks so intimidated. You can give them money, access, but they’re still scared. And as long as you’re scared, you’re on the plantation.
AMY GOODMAN: Let’s talk about that issue of the civil rights charges.

This ? need to stop........By his standards every head of a govt is a war criminal. It's just not realistic.
-
I'm with this ? , yo..........He brought that real and having the intellectual people in their pockets now they can control the black population on certain subjects and ideologies. The black community refuses to be well read and if they were well read, they would know that President Obama is playing chess and manipulating them
-
This ? need to stop........Obama is president of the United States,
not president of making black people do better..
We ? and rob each other..
sell drugs to our own people,
and tear up our own neighborhoods..
I'm not saying Obama shouldn't at least try,
But its hard to help people that don't want to help themselves.. -
I'm with this ? , yo..........I don't always agree with West but he's right on this particular issue.
-
Word of the day: reniggerizing haha

would you please shut the ? up.
he needs to either dread his ? hair or get a hair cut.
HE Is a professional intellectual and therefore is mostly useless to the black race however he is correct on some issues. -
I'm with this ? , yo..........He is really correct on this issue and we need our intellectuals as much as we need our farmers, engineers, handimen, musicians and etc that's how we keep a culture and a strong one at that.
I think his hair is fine and I don't know the reason why his hair is being attacked all the time because it doesn't go with the norm.
Blacks need to be less on cosmetics and more focused on economics, building and strengthening culture, allies, morals, ethics, defining goals and acting upon them, regaining acres of land.
@zombie inbox me on how you working through Ghana, if you can bruh. I'm getting the ? outta here and trying to invest in Africa. -
Attacking the speaker fallacy.
Tu Quo Que -
he's right, however this aint necessary at this time... he's hurting his brand more than anything else...

To be fair his hair in this video does looks better than it usually does and co-sign the bolded. Moving to ghana for me will be personally easier because i already have family there. My advice to you is to attain a level of financial, and spiritual freedom in america first Before you start dealing with africa.
Before you invest any time, money or love in ghana go to ghana and learn slowly. -

First of all, that's racist. Second of all Ghana is one of the safest nations in the world. Many black americans have made the move and if you use business sense and improved the job rates and work with the people you are benefiting yourself and those that live there. This is Pan Africanism and the wisdom of Marcus Garvey. -

Smh. You don't get it. He's not trying to protect "his brand." He is speaking truth to power. That's what separates him from all these other negros.

Okay, I'm starting up some businesses with a buddy of mines and maybe I can bring it over there and also I would need some connects so I can work business with the people down there. I need to learn culture, language, thinking styles and etc. I'm no stranger to a foreign land, but I would need the finances and help improved there and as well as home. -

Obama is not helping the people.
In fact, I would argue that he is positively hurting them.
