The New Jim Crow -- with Cornel West 

i love how cornel west starts every speech with shoutouts and praise for others. it really adds to the message of love and support

I am thoroughly agnostic where religion is concerned. However doctor West's words touch me in every meaningful way

Dr. Cornell West would make a great American President. I know I would vote for him. I love this man. YAH BLESS his beautiful precious Lovely Soul. I just Love Dr. West.

"Rich children get taught and poor children get tested." Truth.

As a music 🎶🎼 lover I just like the he tied up music, politics, philosophy and life itself

I have great respect for Dr. Cornel West.

That's right, Brother West. We are all interdependent. Spot on.

I can listen to my brother for hours.

Teach Brother 🙌

this is a real church. people who let the love of God spill over to love for others

Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom. George Washington Carver

i could listen to this guy speak all day!

he's a special man..!! Cornell West...!!

It's *Dr.* Cornell West, thank you very much!

I can listen to my brother for hours

His resume is oustanding...how can u not pay attention to what he says. He's def an inspiration to many ppl young and old.

My type of Church. If only church was like this, I'd really go every Sunday! West is a brilliant, man. May His love abide and keep you safe.

Wow, I'm not religious but I find it great that this event is hosted by a church that supports immigration reform. Fantastic! That's what Jesus was about.

I love this man. We so desperately need a voice such as his, and there are so few.

Its sad that you get that as the point when you hear folks speak out against injustices. We can only pray for you and your kind. Because you dont wanna end racism or any other injustice.

A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots. Marcus Garvey

God bless Dr. West.

An amazing, learned and moving speaker.

What a brother I can be proud of so many of my brother's have traded love and truth for money and power and fame

revolutionary patience. the struggle continues...crushed but not defeated.

What I like most about Dr. West that he did not lose his self motivation and enthusiasm of all social and political issues in US of A and still pushing so many young generations to be with him on the same train after all of these years. This is really RARE and extremely difficult so don't underestimate his role.

Damn. That brother is deep. You cant question his history, rhetoric, or his knowledge on the topic of oppression discrimination and poverty. I can only listen and learn. Whoever disagrees I just hope you disagree on a sensible level and not an emotional one.

Love Dr. West. Thank you for posting.

I'm deeply attracted by your speech not only this ,but all of your speeches! You are more than a lecturer.

Knowledge and wisdom is so powerful men like this is feared more then loved by the elite MLK and Malcolm approach was turning for the better especially Malcolm who was starting to see that people as a whole was suffering not just blacks but was killed before he could take stride in a new direction.. peace and love to all

Damn his sentences just resonate so much truth that it motivates me for more knowledge absorption, I learned a lot here, thank you Cornell West.

His speaking is similar to the GREAT Malcolm X Cornel West speeches are POWERFUL an TRUTHFUL

"For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." Isaiah 57:15

When will this system come to the light we're most of us are in state of comfort slumber wake Earth

The boldness and bravery of this man is amazing, addressing all these white folks and telling em’ straight in their faces that “i come from a people, who were enslaved by y’all”

Thank you for this lesson about love!

love that brother, the Truth

Brilliant mind.

Amazing!

I love this guy. ❤️ What better place to challenge the hearts and minds of people than at the very place they use as a cover for their actions? Their place of worship... Smart guy.

EXACTLY

Amazing Man!

Love this guy

I need this kind of charisma

Pretty awesome!

Sooner or latter what we wash will come out in the Rinse

I was listening to Dr. Cornel for the first time, I did know when 47 minutes past....

I can listen to Dr. West all day...lol.

Prisons in Noth Carolina suppresses this great book!

I identify with the woman nodding in the background. What a truthteller

Yes Officials in North Carolina banned this great book full of truth!

Always enjoy Bros. Cornell West's social commentary . It should also be noted that there is never any need for a christian to seek for absolute and correct truth outside of the anointing outside of the Word of God. Praise God for Prof West. Thank God that Jesus is LORD

How is a man like this not the president over a psychotic narcissist?

I would love to hear him speak live. I need to get some of his books.

Flying high in the friendly sky without ever leaving the ground (Marvin Gaye) 😂😂

When I was younger I believed what you are saying. I do agree when it was about non violent unity he was not a real threat and had support of the government, although he was being monitored by the feds, and when he spoke out against the Vietnam war, poverty and working conditions they took him out due to him being too powerful a leader to be out of pocket. But I wouldn't compare him to the "hope sellers" of today because he spoke out against injustice no matter despite political ramifications.

0:32 WHOA! Surfs up Mr. Hand!

THANKS HARVARD... GOOD RIDDANCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cornell West says " knick knack paddy wack, give the dog a bone". If the glove dont fit, you must acquit.

DRUGS - Legalize drugs and the discrimination in the criminal justice goes away overnight. Not only that, drug cartels go out of business along with the violence they bring.

I forgot how intelligent he is! I at first did not agree with what he said! However, He has proven the truth behind his facts!

thats 100% right..!!

"Made in da image of GOD",went over they heads!!

Well said brother

@powerinself to protect his voice

Doc West's : Moral of the story . poor unimaginative people are good & inventor entrepreneur people are bad . Dr West Jesus was a entrepreneur millionaire

Respect

You ever think that is because of our experiences? I mean if we have went through situations where we have been blatantly discriminated against, its kind of easy to identify with that...as opposed to those who have never had to deal with that.

I'm starting to like him.

just design another 100,000 guys like this and I guarantee you things will change

I’m side eyeing 👀👀Cornell he’s buck dancing right now.

🙏🏿

What he said at 29:33 is so true. I read an AP article in which Joe Biden (at a Latino themed inaugural bash attended by Mario Lopez, Marc Anthony, Eva Longoria and others) thanked the Latino community and said "We owe you. You guys made this [Obam's reelection] this happen." The care was only there because of their voting power.

West is in the mold of MLK Jr An orator that demonstrates the best of what Christianity has to offer. - An Atheist

martin LUTHER king the best man of there world he haved one dreams!

please youtube michelle alexandria who wrote the book on 'the new jim crow

He wouldn't be out of a job at all. He teaches at Princeton and I doubt there are many (if any) poor amongst the students there. So he's doing this so more poor people will have the opportunity to send their children to institutions such as the one he teaches in. So the poor people in the street can be rich in the classroom. If there were no poor, then he would be a professor quietly collecting his salary.

Wow, can you imagine what people that lived in the REAL Jim Crow era would think? Pitiful!

"he realized his mistake and decided to join his fellow blacks" can you say more about that? I know he began demanding reparations toward the end of his life, but what mistake did he realize, and which fellow blacks did he join?

lol 38:00 look how uncomfortable the white lady behind cornel gets

Lol. Those two old folks way back in the b.g. are like, "This guy is a nutball."

Too Big to Jail: How Prosecutors Compromise with Corporations Hardcover - November 3, 2014 by Brandon L. Garrett (Author) American courts routinely hand down harsh sentences to individual convicts, but a very different standard of justice applies to corporations. Too Big to Jail takes readers into a complex, compromised world of backroom deals, for an unprecedented look at what happens when criminal charges are brought against a major company in the United States. Federal prosecutors benefit from expansive statutes that allow an entire firm to be held liable for a crime by a single employee. But when prosecutors target the Goliaths of the corporate world, they find themselves at a huge disadvantage. The government that bailed out corporations considered too economically important to fail also negotiates settlements permitting giant firms to avoid the consequences of criminal convictions. Presenting detailed data from more than a decade of federal cases, Brandon Garrett reveals a pattern of negotiation and settlement in which prosecutors demand admissions of wrongdoing, impose penalties, and require structural reforms. However, those reforms are usually vaguely defined. Many companies pay no criminal fine, and even the biggest blockbuster payments are often greatly reduced. While companies must cooperate in the investigations, high-level employees tend to get off scot-free. The practical reality is that when prosecutors face Hydra-headed corporate defendants prepared to spend hundreds of millions on lawyers, such agreements may be the only way to get any result at all. Too Big to Jail describes concrete ways to improve corporate law enforcement by insisting on more stringent prosecution agreements, ongoing judicial review, and greater transparency.

why dont people clap and get lively when he mentions about drops being dropped in Somalia, Pakistan and Yemen,???? The world is indeed upside down!

As "everybody knows",much of the fines paid by convicted corporate defendants are written off their tax liability,and the tab is picked up by the general public.

Haven't you really understood by now that these two parties are but ONE. It's a club and they protect each other to the very end. One for you, two for me, two for you, one for me. Why don't you become wise or at least try and understand what is going on. Give it a try.
