The last question raises the question of the problem of this particular occurrence of genocide everyone is focused on, but also the causes of it. If it is truly genocide, what should be the consequences of those responsible for it? Humanity has putt itself in a very tough situation. We set standards, but how do/can we enforce compliance to them? It raises questions about the concept of "tough love".

In spite of the deepening divide, what appears common and unspoken between the two opposing sides, made of liberalism and fascism, is their shared devotion to the capitalist world order. To an empire, but not ruled by a singular tyrant, instead by many many intelligent guardians of our ‘sacred democracy’. While one side prefers the velvet glove of hegemonic consensual rule, the other readily goes for the iron fist of repression and violence. But both sides are naturalized by unquestionable foundations and false identity, in hindsight framed by the Intelligentsia, for decades now, also serving the objectives of the global ruling class. Like an eternally self-consuming serpent, it is continuous as a ‘forever show’. Cornell West and his Jazz Soaked Balderdash is part of that show!

The only chance for the American government to get out of the business of war forever is with this man in the presidency. It's a shame that Cornel West doesn't have the slightest chance of winning, and the masses are going more for Biden and Trump.

Thanks, everyone participating! An inviting oasis in a deepening spiritual desert. 'All' is not lost - just some of us are! Anyone interested in a quick (17 minute) summary of John Coltrane's spirituality, and (related) philosophy of music, might try this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6GWpIVtYtKGq5I . I learned a lot from both Cornel West's presentation, and the video linked in this comment.

For someone who appreciates to the point of praising, the art of improvisation, Dr. West's talks always sound the same to me. Dyson has cornered the art of 'performative Blackness', while West has done so with 'romanticizing Blackness'.

Ever meet a prophet who found it easy??!!!

Cornel West is a prophet not a politician. We need a prophet now which is why I support West.

Jazz is a label that Duke Ellington refused to use in identifying his compositions. As a musician, I’ve well studied the history of this word and it annoys me to keep hearing references to it in your campaign. This country is in need of serious and real adherence to the goals and promises made for a better today and tomorrow for all people. It is my wish that we all become more accountable and responsible in our actions and not pretentious and fanciful in our thinking. “Trying To Make It Real, Compared To What?”
