A Blast From The Past: Brother West Says...

definitely not kanye for those that were hoping for some neo hip hop assholery. this is a clip of Dr. Cornell West from way back in september of 2009 discussing the release of his long-awaited memoir, “Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud”.
there was definitely something specific about this interview that made me bookmark it & save it for all these months. what it is i cannot remember, but i'm sure it gave me a quantum of solace during a very difficult personal adjustment period. if nothing else its worth watching for Dr. West's delightfully thoughtful pontifications on life

How to Keep Obama Honest

as some of you may have noticed i'm not a fan of the new u.s. president or the line of thinking that goes anyone is better than bush. unfortunately president obama has already backed off of many of the progressive ideals that galvanized the country behind him & with each passing day the man with the plan surrounds himself with more & more advisers from the clinton era that do not have the best interests of the proletariat at heart.
but perhaps my outsider perspective doesn't have enough credibility for your erudite tastes...don't listen to me, watch wednesday november 19th's democracy now & allow my brother from another mother dr. cornell west from princeton break down the ways we need to organize to keep president obama honest.
