Black Lives Matter Fest: Chuck D, Dr. Cornel West full speech

[@moriyokiri3229]

I’m voting for Dr Cornel West 💯

[@kendokote]

He can possibly get my vote as a black man, but I am also an American and I want hear his views on all political issues because if actually wants to win it can’t just be about be about us. We got black people problem and American problems. If his name actually makes the ballot h I will vote for him.

America problems is mainly black ppl problems. Seeing as unrepentant America is currently falling off and under the judgment of God. Which is connected to Reparations + the Rainbow community crap & more. Reparations in particular is simply a part of the proper biblical atonement making process. If unrepentant America doesn't come correct on that one + the others. It's sadly only going to get worse and not better for America in particular regardless of who is in the white house

This speech was tailored for the context of the BLM event where he was giving it. He typically rarely misses a chance to frame his arguments from a class perspective and connects the suffering of poor people of all backgrounds in his is interviews. He mentions it briefly at 16:17

He’s alil to the left of an FDR democrat. Basically a real “progressive” in the sense of implementing FDRs economic bill of rights
