Cornell West is on CNN/Don Lemon. He says it's apparent that...

[brush]

policing has obviously failed Black people and we need to figure out ways to protect ourselves. He mentions Robert Hicks and the Deacons for Defense and Justice, an African-American self-defense group in the south in the '60s who helped protect MLK Jr. At the same time the Black Panther Party arose on the west coast.

Sooner or later such movements should be expected to arise in response to the continued killings and qualified immunity.

1. Occupiers

Policing in the Black community looks an awful lot like an occupying army.

Police are militarized and trigger ready at every traffic stop, when exactly SIX cops were shot in 2019 in a traffic stop.

They police on myths and really don't solve al that many murders or robberies.

ReImagine Public Safety Services to improve policing is a better slogan than defund the police. But the military preparedness and Army to Police Force conduit needs to stop. MPs might be well trained for policing, but the average soldier is not.

2. Love Don Lemon.

I have no interest in listening to Cornell. He hated Barack Obama. For one on Tavis Smiley's show he said he was not black enough. Called him Uncle Tom.

3. Yeah, fuck black Susan Sarandon.

[sheshe2]

4. What is that suppose to mean?

Your point?

[Beakybird]

5. Cornel West attacked Obama and told people to vote for Jill Stein instead of Clinton.

Just like Susan Sarandon. He helped Trump get into power.
This makes him a piece of shit in my book.

6. Okay.

Thanks for the explanation.

7. I feel the same way about West but what he said here has nothing to do...

if one likes what he's said/done in the past. He has a point about the past history he mentions as it's bound to repeat itself inevitably if things keep going how they are.
