Teach Sister Dorothy! TEACH! Sister sends chills down my spine!
Cornel West is loving It!
Cornell West was getting his life from Dorthy
Wow..I love her. (Dorothy Wright Tillman).
I love this lady!!! I listen to her every Saturday morning on WVON
....6AM-8AM,
Ashame that so many viewers dropped off before getting to see Dorthy... something like 20,000 dropped from the first part of this, until this part! This has actually been the best part so far (and I LOVE Cornell)...
Yes I'm black, but I'm black and beautiful! -MLK
Dorothy ain't from Kansas--Woman has balls--and the logic to explicate her views in a clear and satirical manner. Damn! She's awesome!! "The little birds in his ears"----
Cornel West is on fire!!
I enjoy the way black intellectual can express themselves. Often able to mix high education and sharp intellect with hip sounding street folksy deliveries. I love it as much as next guy. We love metaphor but sometimes that ain't enough. If you make an accusation you I wish that you would be a little more specific than "little birds told him"
can someone type a complete text of everything she said. please--i need this Dorothy dropped bombs on us. but honestly i can't make out her first 5 minutes exactly. please someone help me out. She is the most authentic speaker of the bunch. How could an issue be too BLACK!!!--she's absolutely right
Dorothy put it down!!!
Dorothy.....speak hun!!!!!!
I LOVE DOROTHY WRIGHT.... THATS A STRONG, BRAVE BLACK WOMAN.... SO REAL
They need more black think tanks that deal with only statics and policy issues. Other groups are writing legislation all the time to benefit their group regardless of race or corporate affiliation. They need to come with a series of legislative issues clearly defined and ask each rep their stance on the issue and produce score cards on issues that directly effect their issues just as other interest groups produce.
They've been conditioned to not be interested but young people--such as your self and I--can make them see the importance of said information. Help me help us
lol cornel west is getting pumped
The Late Great Ron Walters, will be missed. I feel we can not die and not multiply. The temporary void will be filled.
IT IS EASY FOR SOME TO CHASTISE AND TAG A STRONG BLACK WOMAN, PERHAPS IT WOULD BEHOOVE THOSE SAME PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY LISTEN TO WHAT'S BEING SAID, AND WHY, RATHER THAN RUSH TO THE DETERMINATION THAT SHE IS A RACIST OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN A STRONG BLACK WOMAN THAT LOVES HER PEOPLE AND HAS NO FEAR TO FIGHT FOR THEM IN EVERY WAY SHE KNOWS HOW, FIND ONE BLACK LEADER (OTHER THAN A DEAD ONE) THAT IS NOT REVILED IN AMERICA TODAY FOR SPEAKING TRUTH TO CONFLICT, JUST ONE WILL BE OK, I'M WAITING, PROBLEM ?
Thank God im black!i luv my black pple..nd looll@conell west..feels like some church going on here!lool
Somebody cut her mic!!! (Church!!)
I'm a 21 year old Christian Rap Artist from Washington, D.C. my name is David. My music is on my channel. Sometimes I feel lonely because at 21 there is hardly no one I can talk to or relate to about these issues that are my age.
@lovelynann ..yes you are right, our torch/mantle bearers are sound asleep...lost & oblivious to it all,while checking facebook
love Dorothy, she must work with Barack.
What does she mean by "birds in his ear"?
can someone explain what dr dorothy said fro 1:59 -2:04 ..i didnt really get it pls.thanks
BRILLIANT SISTER!!!!! I WANT T SIT AT HER FEET AND LEARN
@mrblackalchemist In that case this video was not meant for you.
To hell with fear that i can assure your panel is not the black condition; Where are the tools of education in Law to existence! It is definitely not being taught in any Educational System I know! Liberty of Ed. shouldn't it be free for me! The only condition not talked or discussed by this panel is those Boule blacks in seats or positions in employment arenas. Weather they are stress or attorned by the rules there is still disconnected with what progressive black is outside of self righteous!
the young are not interested in things like this im looking at how many people have view this not many have , but if this was on hip hop people like diddy lil wayne somebody like that this site would have had millions of hits, not many of the young care about what happen to the community they grew up in, you dont hear it in the rap and songs made only a few, black people have been taught not to speak up out of fear, the system we live in tell us everything is our fault and thats not true
@MrWoodson87 Be honest these people are a waste of time. No new ideas just the same rhetoric.
