I recently viewed this video in August. This time around, some of the information matched the moment of recent messages on this weblog.Race Matters by Cornell West
A Handful Of Excerpts
Your worldview rests on pudding.Defines spirituality as self-invested struggle.
The need to use critical thinking and then fuse critical thinking with spirituality.
We are fundamentally two legged featherless linguistically conscious creatures born between urine and feces.
America is unique in thinking it began with innocence.
Would America be unique among modern nations to move from a stage of perceived innocence to corruption without a mediating stage of maturity?
Race is a litmus test for your maturity.
Word to white folks: Confront the most powerful, not scapegoat the most vulnerable.
Someone said, “an unexamined life is not worth living.” Even though this statement has limitations and does not apply to all situations (lives), it does during times like the past 400 years. We have plenty enough information and more than enough leisure to naturally direct our energies towards moving up the hierarchy of needs. Instead, because we cosign on the societal nature of our country, we have chosen to invert the triangle and pervert ourselves by using leisure to expend energies towards pursuing wants, a process we hope will help us achieve feelings of worthiness that can only be achieved through fulfillment and pursuit of higher and higher needs. For many, this then poisons non-leisure time, causing them to behave the same as if in a dog-eat-dog rat race manner, thus causing it to be so.
At last check, one second ago, right now small mind big time liars considered experts are still trying to claim that if there was one apple tree in the world and it began in the USA, that hundreds of thousands of years later, apple trees around the world are not composed of 100% of the first apple tree. That somehow apples from different continents and islands have different origins and new genetics.
This is the same lie regarding the human race origin in Africa. Phenotype and morphology is still being used by DNA testing companies instead of the genotype of genetics. All this is the etiology of a lie and of a bunch of citizens who haven't learned much.
