Great academic! He makes the connection between the economic and historical realities that demonstrate why Reparations are not only necessary, but inevitable

It's wonderful to listen to well read, intelligent and truthful conversations. Gaslighting is now the norm for discussions regarding the African Holocaust that is called chattel slavery.

Ten precepts of american slavery (1996) brings me here

From FBI's ten most wanted list to Martha's Vinyard's most coveted list. Oh how low the mighty have fallen!

We can't hear you....

Thank you for sharing!

Happy heavenly birthday to Mrs. King 🙏 Hanna fascinates me. People like Hanna, MLK, Rastas, Harry Belafonte, Rosa, Fred Hampton, Malcolm, 1619 is amazing. Rise above it. Fight the power. #Truth I’ve enjoyed listening to what Hanna talks about. That book should be incorporated into public schools. Why? Because it’s accurate and factual. Truth matters. 💯 I was rolling down the Jersey Turnpike listening to Hanna in another interview earlier in the week. I admire Hanna. I love learning about your history. That’s how I learned about The Blue Book Primer. Thank you for schooling me #Love #StayWoke #StayLit #Read #Books #Educate #Empower #Build #Truth

MLK would puke watching his ideals pissed on by these two poverty pimps.

88 euro per un libro. siamo di fronte alla solita speculazione di chi si vende l'Africa. Tanti auguri Adertino . Bell'esempio di cultura popolare. Sarei stato interessato a tradurre in italiano il suo libro malgrado le approssimazioni e le perplessità che il suo libro evidenzia. Ma un'uomo che vende a 90 euro il proprio libro di divulgazione culturale per studenti non merita nessuna attenzione. Penso a Sankara, Machel, Nyerere, Lumumba ecc. cosa ne avrebbero pensato. Si goda il benessere economico che tanto insegue, cercando di non pensare troppo a l'Africa e le sue istanze culturali altrimenti la vergogna rischia di sopraffarla. 88 euro , che stronzo!

Speak, Hanna! Real talk. Just the facts.

Yes, it’s a tremendous blessing to be able to share.

Wonderful How she added the Journalism issues Great video

Black Writers are still to write consciously in this century about Black People's contribution to science, and mathematics. Ida B Wills, a Black Woman writer did her part. What is stopping Black Journalism tell the story about Ancient Pyramids of Egypt.

Multi-level engagement w/ Africa is the basic solution and path forward for African-Americans. I would like to see Prof. Jones discuss the 'Africa Piece'.

I'd love to hear it.

Nikole Hannah-Jones, you clearly believe that anyone that disagrees with you are just racist and ignorant. Would you say the same about Frederick Douglas? Let's compare your words with his. In your introductory essay of the 1619 Project you wrote the following; “There is no mention of slavery in the final Declaration of Independence. Similarly, 11 years later, when it came time to draft the Constitution, the framers carefully constructed a document that preserved and protected slavery without ever using the word. In the texts in which they were making the case for freedom to the world, they did not want to explicitly enshrine their hypocrisy, so they sought to hide it. The Constitution contains 84 clauses. Six deal directly with the enslaved and their enslavement, as the historian David Waldstreicher has written, and five more hold implications for slavery. The Constitution protected the “property” of those who enslaved black people, prohibited the federal government from intervening to end the importation of enslaved Africans for a term of 20 years, allowed Congress to mobilize the militia to put down insurrections by the enslaved and forced states that had outlawed slavery to turn over enslaved people who had run away seeking refuge. Like many others, the writer and abolitionist Samuel Bryan called out the deceit, saying of the Constitution, “The words are dark and ambiguous; such as no plain man of common sense would have used, [and] are evidently chosen to conceal from Europe, that in this enlightened country, the practice of slavery has its advocates among men in the highest stations.... This nation’s white founders set up a decidedly undemocratic Constitution that excluded women, Native Americans and black people, and did not provide the vote or equality for most Americans." Now, I'll contrast your words with those spoken during one of the most famous and vital speeches ever given in the history of American slavery. In Fredrick Douglas’s iconic 1852 speech “What to the Slave is the 4th of July”, in the midst of unapologetically rebuking the ongoing institution of slavery, he states the following; “Fellow Citizens, I am not wanting in respect for the fathers of this republic. The signers of the Declaration of Independence were brave men. They were great men too-great enough to give fame to a great age. It does not often happen to a nation to raise, at one time, such a number of truly great men. The point from which I am compelled to view them is not, certainly the most favorable; and yet I cannot contemplate their great deeds with less than admiration. They were statesmen, patriots and heroes, and for the good they did, and the principles they contended for, I will unite with you to honor their memory. They loved their country better than their own private interests; and, though this is not the highest form of human excellence, all will concede that it is a rare virtue, and that when it is exhibited, it ought to command respect. He who will, intelligently, lay down his life for his country, is a man whom it is not in human nature to despise. Your fathers staked their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, on the cause of their country. In their admiration of liberty, they lost sight of all other interests. They were peace men; but they preferred revolution to peaceful submission to bondage. They were quiet men; but they did not shrink from agitating against oppression. They showed forbearance; but that they knew its limits. They believed in order; but not in the order of tyranny. With them, nothing was "settled" that was not right. With them, justice, liberty and humanity were "final;" not slavery and oppression. You may well cherish the memory of such men. They were great in their day and generation. Their solid manhood stands out the more as we contrast it with these degenerate times. How circumspect, exact and proportionate were all their movements! How unlike the politicians of an hour! Their statesmanship looked beyond the passing moment, and stretched away in strength into the distant future. They seized upon eternal principles, and set a glorious example in their defense. Mark them! Fully appreciating the hardships to be encountered, firmly believing in the right of their cause, honorably inviting the scrutiny of an on-looking world, reverently appealing to heaven to attest their sincerity, soundly comprehending the solemn responsibility they were about to assume, wisely measuring the terrible odds against them, your fathers, the fathers of this republic, did, most deliberately, under the inspiration of a glorious patriotism, and with a sublime faith in the great principles of justice and freedom, lay deep, the corner-stone of the national super-structure, which has risen and still rises in grandeur around you. Fellow-citizens! there is no matter in respect to which, the people of the North have allowed themselves to be so ruinously imposed upon, as that of the pro-slavery character of the Constitution. In that instrument I hold there is neither warrant, license, nor sanction of the hateful thing; but interpreted, as it ought to be interpreted, the Constitution is a GLORIOUS LIBERTY DOCUMENT. Read its preamble, consider its purposes. Is slavery among them? Is it at the gateway? or is it in the temple? it is neither... Now, take the constitution according to its plain reading, and I defy the presentation of a single pro-slavery clause in it. On the other hand it will be found to contain principles and purposes, entirely hostile to the existence of slavery... I, therefore, leave off where I began, with hope. While drawing encouragement from ‘the Declaration of Independence,’ the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions.” Do you see the clear difference between Frederick Douglass's words and your own? I sure do, and I believe it is a crucial difference at that. You claim the origin/foundation of the US is the institution of slavery and anti-black racism, while Douglass unequivocally states his belief of where our foundation lies when he says, "the fathers of this republic, did, most deliberately, under the inspiration of a glorious patriotism, and with a sublime faith in the great principles of justice and freedom, lay deep, the corner-stone of the national super-structure, which has risen and still rises in grandeur around you." These two perspectives do not simply differ. They are in direct conflict with one another. They cannot stand together. Douglass, who has a far weightier personal epistemology of slavery than you, makes it abundantly clear how he would feel about your particular perspective and words. He is not unclear. “Ruinous” is the term he uses. Which perspective do you think leads to a posture of national unity and strengthening of our institutions, and which seeks to cut directly at their roots? Which perspective more seriously leads to hope, true patriotism, national action towards correcting the historical wrongs, and moving together towards a more perfect union, and which quickly leads to despair and disenfranchisement? Personally, know which author I am siding with in this matter. I'll be standing alongside the man with who had no officially recorded birthday because of the depraved and evil institution of slavery, and yet the day he was born marked the birth of a true hero, a hero who undoubtedly impacted the course of both American and human history. Just my $0.02.

Can’t hear it very well.

Sound is so low I couldn't enjoy it

Thank you Mrs. Hannah Jones 💝

Great talk!!!! Thank you!!!

Dr. West, I respectfully disagree. Dr. King was not afraid of Malcolm X. I would assert he feared no man. He needs to listen to the last speech Dr. King gave before he was assassinated. “I fear no man for mine eyes have seen the coming of the Lord!”. Dr. King did take a bullet for the truth. Dr. King walked a more narrow and tougher path. He was arrested 29 times, threatened, harassed, his home was fire bombed while he wife and daughter were inside of it, and he was illegally wiretapped by the FBI. He was further smeared with allegations that he was involved in multiple affairs and had plagiarized his doctoral dissertation. The man just kept coming. He was an expression of God’s will. Malcolm X had every right to be angry and to demand that blacks be allowed to protect themselves. However, Dr. King set the bar for love, service, and sacrifice. Dr. King just couldn’t be driven to revenge or hatred. He truly was a king.

Powerful Stuff!

Very interesting wow

All the scholars and the big blue elephant is sitting in the room.

I wish my lovely brother would come up to The Evergreen State College sometime..Maya Angelou did in 2016(?) and we were blesssed. Nothing wrong in being Twice Blessed 💞

A universal jam session for the justice of love; Dr Cornel West! We love you and thank you for your love!

Greefswald and Aubrey Levin did not only focus on homosexuals and drug users. A large part of the program was focused on non conformists and conscientious objectors (anyone who spoke out against the state). My father was a victim of Greefswald and Aubrey Levin.. thank you for exposing this... More must be done

Thank you Professor West. I'm a South African and most of your words I relate to. You have altered my way of looking at the world..

👎🏻

Sooo glad yall had this talk! Rebelling in research methodology may be the only way forward. Many points made put me at ease in my own practice, like using personal geography and leading with different questions to challenge existent archives!

God bless Brother West!🙏

CORNEL WEST HAS GROWN QUITE A BIT OVER THE LAST 35 YEARS. HE IS A BIBLE THUMPER. HE BRINGS A BIBLE TO A TANK FIGHT. HE CAN TALK AND TALK, BUT, UNTIL HE CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THE BEAST HE IS FIGHTING DOES NOT HAVE A SOUL AND CAN NOT HEAR HIM.

Glaring contradiction here. Angela Davis, a Prison Abolishionist openly endorsed Joe Biden, a Mass Incarcerator, and Kamala Harris, a Prison Laborist. What kinda inverted logic is this???

excellent presentation

incredible video!all the best-🖖

Thank for your gift Dr. West.

My uncle was at Greefswald. He wrote a book about it. Gordon Torr. I am in this now

I think the speaker is too influenced by American culture to have an objective view of Latin America.

Why is this on my recommended
