The provocative US intellectual discusses issues of race, civil liberties and Barack Obama's leadership.

How do we fight social injustice when so many seem to have lost hope? According to provocative intellectual Cornel West the answer is simple - love.

The bestselling author argues that we are living in "catastophic, catatonic, and catalytic" times but we must face them with compassion.

One of the few people I agree with on just about everything.

His criticism of Obama is spot on and I couldn't agree more with him about Libya. Our governments hypocrisy when it comes to military/humanitarian missions is pathetic.
