Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., "Democracy in Black"

With dual roles as a professor of religion and chair of Princeton’s Center for African-American Studies, Glaude opens conversations about race and the black American experience across the curriculum. His book is an impassioned argument-drawn from history, and the disparities of the present-that the country needs a new vision of democracy, one that moves beyond civil rights-era politics, beyond the premature claims of a post-racial society, and beyond the complacencies that have allowed inequality to become ingrained.

So they washed their clothes, *15 and Moses told them, “Be ready by the day after tomorrow and don't have sexual intercourse in the meantime.” 16 On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, a thick cloud appeared on the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast was heard. All the people in the camp trembled with fear. 17 Moses led them out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 18 All of Mount Sinai was covered smoke, because the LORD had come down on it in fire. The smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and all the people trembled violently. 19 The sound of the trumpet became louder and louder. Moses spoke, and God answered him with thunder. 20 The LORD came down on the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. Moses went up 21 and the LORD said to him, “Go down and warn the people not to cross the boundary to come and look at me; if they do, many of them will die. *22 Even the priests who come near me must purify themselves, or I will punish them.”

Not possible. It'd be like asking Noam Chomsky or Cornel West to be ones. Yes, they'd be great. But the whole point of dissidence, historical teachings, authorship, making people wake up, informing the masses, etc. is to be that public intellectual/philosopher. Sure, we'd all vote for Prof. Glaude in a heartbeat. However, he's not a politician. He needs to speak to so-called "woke" liberals that simply voting for Obama does not make one not racist. Capitalism, in and of itself, is racist. So, unless Sen. Sanders wins the primary and the presidency then a great majority of the country becomes non-conservative and non-liberal, but socialist and non-racist, this is Eddie's domain and expertise.

Sanders is elected, we will continue in this unfettered capitalism, and systemic racism which is the system America runs under now - racism is used as a tool to hold back healthcare, education, etc (or pervert prisons, environment...) in order to be a source of wealth for the few (not us).

Yes, everything in my lived environment suggested that my life wasn't as valuable as the others. Frustrated, my African-American elementary school principle showed us that we even received cheaper, harder toilet paper at our school on the black side of town. That was in the late 1970s. Mom saw the game, so she found ways to put me in the whiter, more affluent schools. There, I was told to work hard for what I desired. But when I worked hard, for example, for a particular opportunity a (foreign born) white person told me the prize wasn't for black people. I was born in the USA, so it was more for a foreign born non-black person than for little black me. OK. That was in the late 1980s. So . . . yeah. And those schools I attended still top the list of segregated school in the USA. After Brown v. Board, the affluent white just redrew the district lines. www.al.com/news/birmingham/index.ssf/2016/08/birmingham_six_neighboring_sch.html

Yes 39:10! Yes, my daughter wouldn't look at my alma mater either. It's right across the street from Glaude's. She also selected an ivy league. AWWW gosh and I have another who is a B+ student too.

Centuries of slavery doesn't get erased just like that. It takes a lot of conscious work from everybody to get over the trauma of slavery over generations. You cannot flip a switch and call it a day.

I contacted him when I was denied counsel in open court and the cops stole my paid for car and auctioned it off even though I had the title. He slammed the door hard in my face.

Dr. Glaude Jn has brilliantly explained what racism is --a hierarchical structure which values people differently based on race. His efforts to make a distinction between the individual behavior of a race-conscious activist and the cultural etiology which makes everyone operate within a culture of racism was enlightened. The big question, however, is what will it take to bring about change, when even by the tender age of 4, a young girl already becomes committed to the idea of racialized valuing, even if this means wanting to not be black. From a behaviouralist perspective, racism was learned in the context of rewarding whiteness. Perhaps, equality can also be learned. But the infrastructure which is required to extinguish a learned behavior, cannot be dismantled from the position of Pavlov's dog. The subject of the experiment is powerless to exercise agency, in the experiment. Accordingly, a conscious power has to be created which must firmly establish a narrative which from its beginnings must confront the status quo of hierarchy. The politics must declare unambiguously a determination to dismantle the cultural proclivities of devaluing others for whatever reason and the mystification of extreme economic inequality and exploitation. The political leadership must commit to the agenda for equally valuing all life and the social engineering of these values in every aspect of our conditioning as a nation into the mainstream culture. Media, education, politics, and economics. We don't do hierarchy, we don't devalue life, we believe in the inborn capacity of all to contribute and to support the framework of life...

He's almost there, but he's wrong. It's not who "we" are that's our issue. He refuses to acknowledge who "they" are. We have suffered because people have been at war with us, and weve kept trying to see ourselves as one with the opposition. We are getting the results that are to be logically expected in such a situation.

Sadly Prof. Glaude’s audience only has a few Black people who came to here about their economic, political and social challenges in White America.

[@smashtthesnobsfun]

It is sad in terms of them not being a part of the privileged literati perhaps, but I think they know very well of what he talks, in their lived experience. The ones in need of education and reform are the white privileged people who are unaware or don't care what their position says about inequality and unfairness. The people who attended this talk are possibly the enlightened and socially aware, so in a sense he's talking to the converted. Isn't this typically the case? The other group of white people who often blame the black people for their own experience of inequality would benefit from this kind of awakening and enlightened talk too...

[@edwardthames9003]

I just wanted to respond to the brother who thinks we should cultivate more caring managers. The problem with that is that "we" have no say so in the hiring or cultivation of managers attitudes. That resides in the power of capitalist, corporate america. The fact is they are selected to carry out the wishes of their bosses and how the work force feels about companies direction is not at all a priority and won't ever be, in this corrent climate. Another fact is that managers are not rewarded and advanced in their positions if workers morale is their top priority. They are rewarded for carrying out the wishes of their bosses and for how much they can save their bosses from spending as well as increasing the profit shares which is key to investors interest. To put it simply managers are not rewarded for telling their bosses they need for more spending whether it's in the form of more training, buying better and safer equiptment and definately not in paying higher wages. i love that the speaker quoted Malcolm X in his presentation. He waa assasinated for speaking truth and denouncing passiveness. If that's a word. What I wish, that would black people from the slow walk to death, is that the very spirit of Malcolm X could have a reincarnation in the minds and spirit of black youth. Imagine an entire generation that didn't fear backlash for speaking unadulterated truth and doing it in the spirit of MLK but with the sensible mind of Malcolm and self defense as they do it. Sadly, I believe that the existing power structure is and has been aware of such a threat to their corrupt system that they have put out in society vary nafarious means of preventing such an occurrence. Means such as promotion of mind numbing music and images, enlisting created celebrities to push them, introducing new mind numbing substances into selected communities, enlisting mainstream media to push negative stereotypes etc. And those are just the overt efforts. I believe their has been covert efforts for decades which have enlisted the medical community from chemicals at birth and throughout early developmental stages of black children. Leas paint throughout the slums, poor drinking water, chemical laced food in subpar grocery stores in poor communities, dead food restaurants and of course an over saturation of liquor stores in said communities. Too bad all...most blacks are not aware of this but it signals to me that those in power are and still fear those tactics are not enough to suppress the scary,to them, potentential of a strong black man and what that represents. They have tricked black women and used them as pawns in their objective but that is another even longe post and topic with historical proof of my claim.

His book of James Baldwin was needed so bad in 2016. Truth removes misconceptions. Light of humanities purpose of existence is revealed by bravely saying the words or pictures of our life experiences so far, resist your fear and memories of your purpose in life of grace's purpose needs ears, eyes, skin, empathy as our imperfect white SUPREMISIST founding fathers Devine ENLIGHTENMENT AND NOTHING MORE. Profoundly in my mines eye. Empathy is here.
