You raise a valid point: how many heinous acts have private and public US presidents committed throughout American history, and I do not hear anyone denouncing them? The world's most hypocritical country is America.❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉 🇬🇾 🇬🇾
No, he is not. Most blacks still live in the south, it is much cheaper to live there than where this guy usually lives. They get far more for their buck in the south...most blacks are not poor, they are disproportionately poor--two different statements. And, most of us aren't well-off, either.
@@guysovereign I just Think about professional athletes that are broke 5 years after retiring. The reason is they don't care to handle finances responsibly since they in demand. They Likethe money. But The notion here isn't different because C West is a Professor .
I love how this brilliant man’s intellect is being questioned here on Forbes. Are we questioning others who haven’t went to TWO Ivy Leagues??? 🙄 that’s what we call a hater.
At what point was his intellect questioned? Right around 1:53 his brilliant academic record was discussed. The rest of the interview is about his lifestyle, multiple divorces and failing to withhold taxes on his book royalties and speaking fees. I see no evidence the financial expert is a hater. He made the point that a lot of talented people end up in the same boat for their profligacy. All too true I’m afraid, and Brother West is no exception.
The question is, how is it even a question that America is choosing between someone with a few divorces and missed taxes and a grapist, criminal and liar.
He has my vote whether he's on the ballot or as a write-in candidate. Neoliberal and liberal Vote Blue No Matter Who cult members can seethe on that. 😏
He's broke because he's an academic, not a politician or businessperson. I'm not saying that's good or bad, but it's self-evident. It's like asking why marathon runners aren't jacked like bodybuilders - because their exercise and diet don't lead to getting jacked. Cornel West doesn't live a lifestyle that allows for accumulation of much financial wealth.
I'm astonished his house is only in the 200K range in Princeton New Jersey. What is the housing market like there? It's hard to get a barn for that price these days.
The fact that Cornell West gave up all his scratch in a divorce because he insisted on holding on to the album collection makes me more excited about voting for him.
Because Cornell West owes 1/2 million is back taxes and child support. Anyone in debt wouldn't be able to get a clearance for national security or law enforcement.
There is no reason for men to get married in the courts of the USA. Have a ceremony in a religious institution and leave it at that. Divorce does not favor men AT ALL!!
"The comfort of the rich depends on an abundant supply of the poor" Voltaire Not being part of the rich scum elite is precisely why I will always be in solidarity with Brother West.
Oh yeah, they are shaking in their boots about a guy that likely won’t even make two ballots; whose supporters can’t string 3 English words together coherently.
College professors don't make any money. At least Dr. West believes in paying the tab for a night out on the town. It's great to know that some men like to wine and dine without expecting a woman to go dutch.
@@Superlongevityinstitute If I'm cheap, then you are dumb. LOL! You need to know when to use you're and your. These are two completely different words. Your insult falls flat. You're goofy. You don't know me and you fail to understand when a person is making a sarcastic comment.
half a million a year, daaaaammn, that's all the Brutha made all this time! Cornel and Doug MacGregor would be a game changer for an America in Decline.
Interesting information. also interesting that Dr. West gets this much coverage around his personal finances when there is lots of other equally interesting aspects of his canidacy that could also be reported on, even from a financial perspective.
So in America...we say freedom of speech and democracy yet we need MONEY to run for Political Office. The all powerful dollar! That is what determines our politics?
I’m not surprised. Dr West is nothing if not uniquely focused on his immediate interests. He’s a “now” kinda guy, apparently. It is quite reckless to repeatedly ignore the tax stuff (and the family unit), but his public life seems to be his priority. He’s highly intelligent, but perhaps not equally smart. I still respect him a lot, mostly because he’s open about everything.
@@nursemcfarlane6655West cannot, and will not ever be in the same league as Obama. The only thing they have in common is both would be a lot of fun to have a couple drinks with.
In what way? Everything they’ve said here is public knowledge and has been for years. His financial and marital situation is not a unique story. It’s disappointing sure but he’s still far and away my first choice for President in this election cycle.
An issue is, men who have no business getting married in the western world, are getting married. Marriage is not for everybody, and certainly not in the western world, where most women are not fit to be long-term wives.
Cornel West is a narcissist. That's all. Money and material wealth is often very important to narcissists. West is no different. He talks a big game, but at the end of the day, it's not an accident.
If the allegations are true, regarding, Dr. West, he will not get my Vote for President. Sounds like he may need to address his personal problems & pursue more stability. This report is troubling and sad to hear. I do wish him well, however. -------- Psalm 23.
I dont like any downfall comments, but talking about money, the audio quality of this podcast is dreadful. Investment on someone to oversee the content quality would be worth it. There are plenty of Audio engineers in the US that will welcome a well deserve income. On the subject of being broke, dont cut corners.
@@KahlessTheUnforgettableintellectual conversations with people is his whole thing so how do you think he isn’t one? Whether you agree or disagree with him, he is categorically a public intellectual
West has always claimed to be a socialist yet he doesn’t even know how to do that right, regularly ignoring the two inviolable principles of the Party: 1) He makes very good money in the free market as a public speaker and 2) he actively fails to pay taxes. And he tries to explain it away by saying he’s “bad with money.” That’s like an MD saying he doesn’t know how to read a thermometer. I suppose next I’ll learn he owns his own home!
Biden or Kennedy I can’t decide. I like Biden but things are so personal the attacks between maga and the DNC most americans are disgusted . we want a new direction and Kennedy is younger and more in touch with regular people and nobody’s perfect but with Kennedy I can see a way forward that doesn’t involve violence and maybe republicans and democrats can speak to each other pleasantly again. If Kennedy had Marianne Williamson or Dean Phillips as their running mates he would be reaching the right and left and we could maybe stop these wars idk i live in hope. democratic policies are better but the personal lives of politicians have become everybody’s focus and frankly it’s embarrassing as a nation all this calling the wives whores and calling gay people groomers and pedi files it’s all disgusting nobody wants to talk about all this salacious scandals anymore
