This is a life shattering truth. Nowadays so much aggression, conservatism and even corruption. Change must come 🔥 😔

“When you live in a country that makes truth something that is associated with the painful, that should not be spoken, it becomes hard to get people to value speaking freely because there are things that we have to say that will be wounding.” A whole word, yes.

“In our deeply anti-intellectual society...”😂😭😭

Love this so deeply. Appreciate a lot that this is available to listen to & watch freely here on YT. I think it’s needed now more than ever

What a tragedy; the world is less without her. Rest in peace bell hooks.

We live through stories, in stories and based on stories... very few of the stories I have ever experienced, had no healthy example of love. Give us stories of healthy love and then live those stories, give them breath and a heartbeat with your breath and your heartbeats.

I will never forget a meeting in New York with a perfect stranger of another race discussing her books with me for hours in the mid early hours. He saw me with the book, Salvation and invited himself into my private world of solitude. It was a great conversation! He and I were great admirers of this great writer. Thank you bell hooks. The world will never forget you. You taught us so much about ourselves. For that, you are engraved in our hearts, soul and MIND!!!❤

I don't believe that everyone will enjoy the teachings of Bell Hooks, but my hope is that her message touches as many people as possible. I believe that Bell Hooks is modest, but she is also confident, positive and hopeful for the future. There is nothing wrong with that. I have read quite a few of her books and they have a lot to teach us. Read on people, read on.

Never heard of Bell Hooks here in the UK and I wonder why that is? This female feels like the kind of women that should be in the mainstream and I want to know more about her. Her education feels huge just from this one video and the host is doing a great job of allowing her to talk, we don't have much of that today. She came to my attention through Brene Brown and look forward to reading more about her teaching.

brilliant, how she says critical gaze can illuminate, so different from dismissive trashing. i love her! truth is so important!

May you RISE IN POWER. Àṣẹ

Well before her time. Discussing censorship prior to even being a thing in our present society. Her concern was well warranted.

she was so fucking smart, thinking of love as heroic is brilliant such a tragedy to never be able to hear hooks speak in real life 💔

Rest In Paradise Queen.

Rest in sweet Peace. So grateful for your body of work.

asking people to think critically nowadays feels like such a monumental task.

Very enlightening. Thank you.

I like that ,"People are Hungry for Truth", Yes, and a language that identifies it, we can't change it, until we can name what we are feeling, and LOVE IS TRUTH, I just found these, Bell Hooks interviews, in 2020, my friend sent 1 to me

I've read much of bell hooks' work. But, never watched her on youtube. I was really late getting on the youtube train. Thankfully, I can now hear her voice. The tragedy is the market place. So, you can't always say what you want to say.

Jesus said," Its Easy to Love the People we Love, can you Love those you disagree with? Presumably that's what he said, Thank you Bell Hooks

I am so touched as a black female Bell Hooks and her books has greatly inspired me when I listen to this clearly educated speaker I feel a sense of hope and a sense of I'm not crazy she say's the things that I've had thought about having a voice is so important.

Rest in Power, bell...

She’s dynamic. Learned of her through ForHarriet (Kim)

Students (people) have become commodities to serve the current market needs.

🕊 She has an extraordinary smile. Rest in Eternal Peace ♥

Greatly enjoyed this and - like many other commentators - wish her voice had rung in these ears before today!

May she rest in love and light...

she is very modest when she says she embodies the classical idea of the intellectual. thanks bell !!

Life lesson and .....listen. hearing each other without get angry or upset. Thank you 🙏 ❤️

Wow! . . . So prophetically on point and meaningful for today?

this is my first time seeing her speak..and today I definitely learned something

I can’t believe I just learned about her for the first time. She is AMAZING

Such a beautiful mind

Avoiding conflict…as a nation we are lying more and more, I think we have to connect that to an absence of free speech, because when you live in a country that makes truth something that is associated with a painful that should not be spoken, it becomes hard to get people to value speaking freely….

Rest in Power Queen!!! May your legacy inspire future generations to come!!

great quotes :)

Incredible person.

Smartest critical thinker in American history.

What a profound speaker

Thank you for uploading this interview, your work in disseminating the work of hooks is much appreciated. I feel like this interview could have been conducted today. The 'culture of dominance' struck a chord with me as I think about the larger events currently taking place in many parts of the world. I wonder if there could be more work by hooks that can be relevant to the sociology of criminology.

Rest in Peace bell hook and thank you

It is very sad to watch Bell discuss people being hungry for truth after Trump's election. Apparently people think they want the truth, but what they actually want is only a version of their own truth...I hope Bell's vision comes true regardless

@Audrey. That is mostly true however nothing related to the truth is associated with the Trump administration given the documented evidence that Trump has lied over 10,000 times. This means that Trump is lying and/or putting out distorted information several times per day every day!!

Great lady .. her vision travelled to places where the dominant culture never could get to ...

rev. angel Kyodo Williams has a speech where she talks about "it's not all about love" and speaks about Bell Hooks a little. But it isn't a "Bell Hooks is wrong" thing, what she's talking about is what Ms Hooks says here "care is only one ingredient of love." "If someone is hurting you/abusing you they are not loving you." And she speaks also to the widespread abuse in our society. In that talk she names what Ms Hooks speaks about often in many of her books about one of those other ingredients. It's Justice. If we don't give justice there isn't room for love. If we don't have justice in our hearts we cannot really love.

Rest in Paradise

Much respect for Bell Hooks
