You really have to see this.

Dr. West ain't proud. He really believes in our brother Bernie.

Know how I know?

He's giving it all he's got standing on the bed of a pickup truck after the debate.

I'm sure Hillary fans will think this funny -oh, he's fallen from grace or whatever they say - because he's not on some big stage. I say that Cornel is being Cornel. This is precious.

I know some black folk on this board think he's a traitor. I don't. I think they are. I have a lot to lose, too. Tired of hearing that crap.

1. I have loved him for a long time.

Even when he says stuff I don't agree with, he says it in a way that is charming, invigorating, uplifting, and hits ya right in the heart.

2. If we ever agreed with someone 100 percent, that's our soul mate

or our robot. LOL

Thank you for your comment and kick.

[Kalidurga]

3. Yeah that's the truth

I think it would be horrible to agree with someone all the time. How do you learn anything that way?

[Enthusiast]

4. His passion is not in any way misdirected. We are living day to day with a crisis a crisis we must

put to an end. This is a fucking emergency.

I love Dr. West. Of course he is passionate. He understands what is at stake. We cannot allow the status quo to persist any longer.

It is no longer even just the status quo. These malevolent fucks have new big plans for us—the TPP!

5. Well, here's another traitor (according to some)

The part about why Bernie polls so low among black voters in South Carolina The interviewer's question begins at 2:53, Keith Ellison's response begins at 3:20, and at about 3:23 he says something like:

"I think that a lot of black voters when they get to know him and his message and how sincere he is ... so people are going to catch on and respond.... Bernie just has to get a chance to get introduced to these voters and them to him and I think it's going to be fine"

(my attempt to transcribe, not a perfectly exact quote, though I did listen to this segment several times).

I'm reminded of that thread a few days ago about whether blacks voting for Hillary is an example of the Stockholm Syndrome. And Keith here is saying that a lot of black voters are not familiar with Bernie and his positions. (I am reminded how some people were slammed with indignant DU outrage for suggesting the same thing that Keith is).

6. My youngest son (24) said to me last night

he was tired of repetitive themes on Real Time and was going to quit watching it for awhile unless Cornel West, Neil deGrasse Tyson, or John Cleese were guests or on his panel. I thought to myself, that's my kid.

8. Perfect.

Just so right, so well delivered.

I look forward to having a President that doesn't discard West like a used tissue once campaigning is over.

9. K&R! Brothah Cornel gets to the heart of the matter!

10. REC A MILLION! THAT was fantastic! "MLK was a Democratic Sooooooooooocialiiiist!"

"Einstein was a Democratic Soooooooocialiiiiiiist!" "Dewey was a Democratic Soooooooocialiiiiiist!"
"This is a moooooooooovement!"

Freakin' FANTASTIC speech! Absolutely loved it! Bernie is so lucky to have Dr. West supporting him.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
