Cornell West is fucking awesome

[Ishoutandscream2]

Just saw him with Colbert. Every time I see the good professor, I'm intrigued, enlightened, and entertained. Really love the guy!

[redwitch]

1. He is such a love!

Can you imagine taking a class with him?

[Ishoutandscream2]

2. Man, wouldn't it be awesome?!

[haikugal]

3. Oh YES!

Hope On A Tight Rope...on my list now! I love him too...he is much loved and a valued member of our culture. A radical for LOVE!

4. unrecc'd by someone to the right of West, I reckon...

But always like hearing what he has to say, myself...

5. West recently voiced a mild, exceedingly polite criticism of You Know Who. n/t

6. Love the guy....

But yet I am saddened that in my estimate, roughly 98% of America doesn't have a clue who the good doctor is.
And that my friends is fucked up.

9. If 98% of America knew about Cornell West AND were truly informed, there'd be a national strike.

Because once people are given the knowledge of how bad the situation is with this country, things would come to a grinding halt until the government is made to address them.

14. You are correct, of course.

There are massive forces at work to keep the American people divided and disinformed. It is the greatest propaganda effort in the history of the world and I am including the Soviet Union.

15. +1,000 n/t

I just discovered his weekly radio show with Tavis Smiley

12. I got his autobiogoraphy.

It started out well but I think he is breaking his arm patting himself on the back. I wonder if he has to justify his achievements which are up to white standards (Harvard, Princeton). ???????


Everybody is helpful, nice, etc. etc. to the point where it's ridiculous.

He can't keep it in his pants and then justifies himself by saying he was "in love" when we learn next to nothing about these women.

Yes, I think his opinions about the world are valid. I just got sickened by his autobiography.

[Enthusiast]

13. Me too.

He is becoming a favorite for me.
