Cornel West on Race Matters

Cambridge Forum presents Cornel West, prominent and provocative democratic intellectual, for a discussion of his groundbreaking classic Race Matters, newly updated for its twenty-fifth anniversary edition.
Race Matters contains West's most powerful essays on issues relevant to black Americans: despair, black conservatism, black-Jewish relations, myths about black sexuality, the crisis in leadership in the black community, and the legacy of Malcolm X. For the twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Race Matters, Cornel West reminds us why race still matters and considers the way these issues are crucial to building a genuine multiracial democracy.

    David Val dear white people. This race hustling propaganda is getting us nowhere, it's making things worse. The more successful minorities don't drone on about past injustices. Won't hear the Japanese saying ya'll dropped 2 atomic bombs on us and put us in internment camps. They did the work and now they're world leaders wherever they are.

    I'm not a fan of the victim card but your whole logic, reasoning and where you're coming from is wrong, delusional and just bad. Just to name one, how can you compare a nation who was much worse than the nazis to a group of people who did nothing. I'm would be surprised if you're a person with an average mental power.

    Shalom Aleichem Shalom Aleichem I say shalom, but don't get me wrong, when I say, you are not qualified to comment on Yisrael, Jews, The State of Israel, Evereet Yehudah, don't get offended by my word equations, many who attempt to sum up "Aelian Capitolina and Palestina" with a modern day opinion based in non learn propagandize based ideology, taught in ignorance through Church doctrine, has lead humanity into a direction without direction. As long as one is lead by the 5 senses, then one can never be qualified to understand such a MYSTERY based in INFINITY! The populace has been lead down a path beyond the 1ST & 2nd commandment, for a very long time, whereas the 1st cause has been placed in a comfort zone, where carnality has become AN INTERIM virtual reality effect, where fleecing flesh occupant energy sources, uninfluenced too and by true purpose, which has not been received, much less administered by those qualified in the modern day, to teach it, are imprisoned! So then, the adversarial mission becomes as the scripture teaches "forseeming" it has endured without stopping since the EIN GEDI rebellion (The Garden). And its not the fault of flesh animated spirits either, its the fault of the commandment dodging populace, who despite final analysis examples, continue to follow the immorality based in an illusion based society, absent of the Torah as a constitution. Now this may sound like dogma, but, it isn't. When I mention Torah, I want to explain, that I do not relate to stories and verses of gossip and history, I relate soley to the 61 3.......And if you don't know what I mean, it speaks to the point. The UN, since you want to mention this systematizing machine, is not based in a moral based society, cognitive of its origin, its only interest is the scientific program, set in place by those who are running solar systems analysis for higher physical authorities and there interest. What was granted at Sinai, endows the recipient with "chokmat", wisdom, only with this, will your eyes see beyond that which is perceived, and your ears will hear beyond that which has already been heard. For the 5 senses by which one perceives the world, can fool you, mastering the 6th sense is important in measuring material to light and carnal concepts to eternal ideals. Daniel Moshe Johnson

    White is an adjective, therefore, its connotation can never relate to a human being, neither does the adjective black. These are devices, like public transportation and the water fountain at the park. Free education has failed society, if one wishes to engage in matters of ancient Judea, one must research the history of the region prior to AD 70. You are not legally qualified to speak to the matter, you relate from a non related an emotional position based in post traumatic syndrome, which has been passed on to you by environment or family. Tzion requires years of study and research, its better you begin to study the history of Islamic Caliphates and pogroms.
