"stir things up" or maybe you too young to identify with Dr. West.
He is a "truth to power" intellect who has (for years) captured the feelings and voices of poor and average Americans. He is a natural treasure, much like Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky.
Unfortunately, I think a lot of biased, ignorant people will not take him seriously because of his color and his relationship with the black empowerment movement. If that is the case, we will not have his eloquent voice to help lead us out of this darkness, and he is so well spoken and heartfelt.
I believe that Dr. West can be as much of an inspiration to this generation as Dr. king was to an earlier generation, before he was so violently assassinated.
Please, do not look at the color of his skin, hear the message of his heart, it is so true.
