Black in Appalachia Podcast: Cornel West runs for President
Recorded at the East Tennessee PBS studios in Knoxville, Tennessee, the Black in Appalachia crew had the distinct pleasure of talking with Dr. Cornel West, scholar, agitator and candidate for the Green Party presidential ticket. We talked affirmative action, youth mobilization, jazz, blues, and class solidarity (among a bevy of other really important subjects!)

Dr Cornel West doesn't have chance of winning because he's running for a 3rd party.

I'm voting for Dr West because I hope it will push the democrats to do something substantial for black Americans. I couldn't care less for Hollidays or monuments. By 2053 black Americans will be wealthless. I'm not talking about income, I'm talking about wealth which is passed down from 1 generation to the next.

Soooooo am I I’m praying 🤲🏾 for the Universe to protect Dr. Cornel West
I don't understand how anyone can listen to Dr. West and not know right off the bat that supporting him and his campaign is right thing to do.
I love Dr. West. I’m an old white woman but I’m part of the band because he’s singing my song!

He’s so inspiring. I was tearing up a couple times listening to him.
Brother West !!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Love what you folks are doing dr.West has been a hero for us all. Alot of us white folks realize that what is good for black people is what is the same thing that is good for all of us. Thanks for doing such important work
This white boomer is going with Cornel after the Bernie and Jill kneecapping. Keep on keeping on is what any good trooper would do. Third rail is sanity for shell shocked duopoly survivors. Thanx Brother and keep safe. I will be watching. ShakeUp XR

Love Dr.West’s ability to freestyle with the metaphor. The Miles, Bill Evans hit was beautiful
Doc West is a legend. Thank you for your work Team Black Appalachia all the way from El Paso, Texas.
I will be voting for Dr. West. Great interview, just let him speak. I damn near cried about 4-5 times listening to him orate upon the truths of our human plight. I hope you all will join me in unapologetically expressing support for this movement which is so needed in the times we’re in
LOVED THE INTERVIEW. LOVE DR.WEST. GREAT INTERVIEW YOU 2! GRACE AND PEACE

I just wanted to second, third and fourth what this brother thomasclifton just said.
Great interview!! thanks from Missouri~ peoples party
“I’m a redeemed sinner with gangster proclivities.” 😂 Those words always crack me up.
Loved the show he's thinking will change the future
Love Dr West as he loves me even though he do oes not know me. He talks dignity which I find paramount. He is an intellectual who talks to and about the common people as an equal who never talks down to people but raises all.
Build on the bridge of life called Morals! That’s how we do! Thank you Dr. Cornell West! You are my slice of wisdom called Knowledge!
Your awesome.
As a Kentuckian.. Appalacian.. I am in the band. I may play a small instrument, But I am here!
Dr. West you are turning up everywhere, irrespective of how large an audience any podcast has. You are Bernie on steroids in a good way. You have my vote as a 70- year old Jewish woman on Long Island, NY!
I love that man and I can’t wait to volunteer for his campaign!
Rev Doc West thank you for your courage and love. Your work and teaching blesses us. God be with you!
Never has the American public had an opportunity to support a person running for the highest public office who has the wisdom, intellectual, and spirital capacity to lead this nation in a way that would truly make us proud to be 'Merican.
Damn im like between Cornell and Marianne Williamson i hope both unite and have a conversation. Thats what we really need.
I have prayed for a Cornell West run! Ty sir! And I loved the colorful language
Dr, West's campaign slogan should be, "I'm With You".
Highlander Folk School in Monteagle, Tennessee was where a lot of civil rights activity started in the 1930s. Appalachia has a lot of good history of civil rights and labor. TY for having Dr. West on.
I am a 67 year old Caucasian senior female and I am all about the West campaign. He speaks for us all peeps not just people of color. He will be good for ALL OF US. I just changed parties from being a life time democrat to the Green Party so I can vote for him.
The U.S. needs “a working class black politics”.
Thanks for posting this!
Thanks to Dr. West for bringing me to the Black Appalachia channel
"As a matter of fact, that has everything to do with me running for president" Effortless transition. This is why CW is so badass.
Thank you Cornel West! Your campaign is very important and very relevant. Thank you for your compassion and passion for the truth.
I learned more in this interview than any other I have heard. If you're for anyone but yourself, Dr. West is speaking as real as it gets.
One thing I’ve learned about a good jazz improv musician is that they make sure they leave a lot of space in their playing - to make sure everyone gets their own individual space in the song. Where did I learn that? From a bluegrass circle. Now, I’m more about jazz and blues in my musical approach, but I learned that from bluegrass players with a big respect for jazz improv.
Cornel West for President! I always appreciate Dr. West's message of the basic humanity in all of us and everybody.
FINALLY! I have a LEADER worth voting for!!
This interview was amazing and should be shown on mainstream media… Sooo sad they won’t show such beautiful words on the mainstream… Thank you for the amazing questions you two amazing people asked. This is the first time I’ve seen you two beautiful souls but it won’t be the last..
You have my vote a man of all people and unity and love🙏
Dr west is a power and a force for good. Thanks for an amazing hour with him folks thanks from Auckland New Zealand 🇳🇿...this is true inspiration ❤
I like the “in the band” idea. My mother grew up in Appalachia in Covington, VA and I’m proud of my roots there. Glad to learn about your group!
I love that Cornell West brings up "our precious trans people." I haven't heard any politician speak in those terms.
Thank you for being who you are.
Thank you for this interview! Also, excited for August 25th, gotta see if I can make it to Jackson Mississippi! (He mentions the campaign kickoff at 28:13.)
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IS THE FABRIC OF EQUALITY AND EQUITY! IT WILL AFFECT THE WORKPLACE, EDUCATION, THIS ELECTION!
I love this man I wish Dr. Shiva and Dr. West would run together!!!
LOVE Cornel. His oratory is second to non. He will need straight up policy soon though. His broad stroke conversational style is terrific but eventually he will have to say I am going to do X,Y and Z and this is how I will afford it. All power to him.

He has done plenty interviews on record that expands on his intent xyz. I assure he is covered. Many blessings
Dr. West is a human treasure.
Back in the day Cornell was among few who made sense to madness, good to see the wisdom and clarity to authority and how not to be is still strong. Resolutely Q.
💚💚💚💚 Dr West has a special anointing. He's got a gift that soothes the soul AND gets you fired up with passion at the same time! I subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing more videos. Thank you so much for blessing us with this fantastic interview with Dr. West. Much different from most. Very original & down to Earth 🌎 Love seeing this side of Dr. West 🔥 🔥
Thank you for this. Let's shock the world in 2024. It's time.
He truly has a beautiful soul and his words flow through you like liquid melody. That being said imma need the Dr to try being more specific about his policy positions or maybe directing us to a page on his website highlighting specific policy positions.
I love Dr. West.
Thank u Dr. West. A call to the people.
Black in Appalachia and Mr West. Magnificent Positive Energy Felt Through KZread! Love The Teachings and Knowledge in this video! My Momma lives in Clarksdale, MS ... the heart of The Blues! Also known as The Crossroads. I also got fam in Memphis TN. That area is home to my immediate family members and I ... we appreciate the mention. I'm surprised you guys didn't mention the Smoky Mountains. Lots of beautiful landscapes in The Appalachians. Keep up the good work. Godspeed.
He has understanding of many subjects
DR.West IS A MAN OF PRINCIPLES. SOMETHING THAT IS UNIQUE. That is What He brings to the Office. Thank You Dr. West for running!❤
CORNEL WEST 24!!! RANKED CHOICE VOTING 2024!!
"Noo noo no, he's in the muthafunkin baaand!" :) Love it.
Cornel is a humanitarian not a politician. He believes ALL people deserve to be LOVED and treated humanly.
I'm from McComb Mississippi, down here in Southwest Mississippi,home of Singers Brandy and her brother Ray J,and Home of the late great Blues icon Bo Diddley!
Cornel West for president 2024!!! Thank you all.❤
I was so poopooing this guy in the brief clips I saw of him. I’m glad I had just enough power in my 2 brain cells to think that I shouldn’t base my opinion on clips. This guy knows how to answer the damn questions and good ones at that.
Amen to the brother pointing out truth on how Christians should treat and see people because they are all God's people.
It was a pleasure to support Cornell West at a high school in Ohio😊
My patrilineal roots are in Black Appalachia by way of Virginia since 1806, walking the Cumberland Gap behind a coffel no doubt. But this area is crucial in the Great Migration cultures of the Midwest, too. Thank you so much for seeing all of us! Black culture gets fragmented and sold out frequently. Can we raise one voice⁉️
Beautiful work. Glad I could find your page by looking for Cornel West interviews. I'm from Central PA and worked in Pittsburgh for 11 years early in my teaching career. Black Appalachian voices ought to be heard.
I believe I've found my candidate here, Dr Cornel West. 2024
God bless Dr West because he is truly doing the people's work and the people's work is God's work. People need an alternative from these two servants of big capital. Dont let them scare you the people are with you..
I would gladly vote for West or Williamson as they both align with my values and sense of truth and justice better than Trump or Biden if those are going to be my options again in 2024. Great discussion, very informative and enjoyable.
THE VOTING REVOLUTION IS COMING IN 2024!! DR. WEST FOR PRESIDENT!!
Cornel West is just amazing.
Hello from New Jersey. Loved this interview.
Have Cornel West back. West is the Best!❤
Homie in Alaska up here- love y’all
Dr West is a humanist who understands public policy, and that's more than I can say for any presidential candidate in my lifetime. Add to that his compulsive truthtelling and they will never, ever let him become president. But I will vote for him nonetheless.
So happy to find your channel. I am from West Virginia and have been sharing my stories from home for some time. Thank you for what you are doing! I would love to have an opportunity to share with you.
The title of this podcast is 🔥! 👊🏾 to the brothas and sistas in dem der parts!
I love that you point out the problems! Now I want to here a detailed precice plan to fix the problems!

What I heard was, stop mass incarceration, use the military billions going to the wars overseas at home to lift up the poor and working class, medicare for all, infrastructure, power to the people through Unions and worker co-ops and keep the movement going so the people get to express their wants and needs from the Politicians with the President using the bully pulpit to reinforce the demands of the people and encouraging the voice of the people (being a rebel rouser). Actually, I might have heard some of this on some of the other interviews he has had as well.
I could listen to him all day long.
Martin tried to change things, Malcom tried to change things, and I'll leave it there. Peace to the Elder Dr. West.
One of Dr. West best qualities is talking to either sides. He needs to do a whole tour in Trump country. I think he would be suprised how many people be could get. Those people are hurting and Trump was the only politician talking to them. Bring a positive voice to them.
I saw this podcast and the part about the youth being more involved with voting was heartfelt, the music plays a hugh role in our youth mental thoughts, and all these local groups having the ability to reach out to the youth but don't because everyone is looking for one person to do it was a greater example of how our communities are failing. Idk about y'all but I'm all in with this brother #voteCornelWestpresidency2024, cause the change is here and we all should want it
Wow, one of americas greatest current moral witness, if I were American I'd 100 percent for him in the coming election
VOTE Cornel West 2024!!!
Damn! I am so glad Colonel West is running. Even if he is not likely to win, his words are so good to have out there in this super crazy time.
Great question. No straight concrete answers. They were all uplifting and philosophical. He is in the pide piper stage. He has me on his side on the issues. I think his actionable policies will be highly controversial when he finally says them out loud. I heard of one and it scared the centrists and right enablers. I have faith brother west that our United power can move the needle.
There is good and bad in all of us. The point is which one dominates us. Hopefully, good is the choice. Keep living and striving for the best in you and others. 😊
Integrity. That's all I have to say. Cornel West has integrity. A decent human with extraordinary intellect, and sound political conclusions. Hard to be rational in an irrational world.
America could use a jazz man in the White house
alot of folks can't vote, over 30 million of them either from voting suppression, unhoused, incarceration, or formerly incarceration along with being on probation and parole
The in the band analogy funny but ohh so true😢. Cornel west my vote is yours .
bell hooks, from the bluegrass, represent!
Chicanos 4 Dr. West 2024!
Great interview with Dr. West just subbed to your channel
Black America we need to stand Cornel West ,Show up people!!!!
