When Donald Trump reaches for the sacred language of faith only to twist it into mockery, it reveals not merely a lapse in taste, but a deeper poverty of moral character! Religious language, at its best, is meant to uplift, to console, to call us to justice and compassion—not to…
We had a grand time wrestling with the great Black prophetic tradition. I salute my dear brother Eugene and my dear sister Jackie Rivers for bringing us together at Bishop Felton’s historic Mt. Airy Church of God in Christ! (Although I had to stop for the mayor’s strong words, b…
On @kbla1580—Tavis Smiley show- Monday March 23rd- Cornel West said: “When you have no integrity, you are driven by popularity” Cornel West and Tavis Smiley lay bare the truth about power, war, and systemic injustice—revealing why integrity, not popularity, is the real measure…
In the midst of all the heartache and heartbreak, our resilience, our remembrance, our resistance, our reverence have not been wiped out—no fascism can do that! Terror, horror, hatred, oppression, and domination may be the dominant history of the species, but they are not the onl…
On Friday we honored the life and witness of Jesse Jackson Sr. a freedom fighter who reminded America that justice is what love looks like in public! He stood in the great prophetic tradition—telling the truth, lifting up the poor, and insisting that every child of God has dignit…
We’re not just facing a political crisis — we’re facing a spiritual one! When greed is normalized, truth is disposable, and cruelty is marketed as strength, the soul of the nation is at stake! This isn’t about one man. It’s about a moral decay that rewards corruption and punishes…
Brother Newsom could’ve taken a humanistic approach! He could’ve said, “I’m just like you. I was born of a woman. I’ll face loss, pain, and death just like anyone else.” But instead, when he thinks of Black people, he brings up low SAT scores. That mindset sits at the core of whi…
There is a spiritual sickness so deep! This is just the tip of the iceberg! But the question really becomes not so much to be preoccupied with the sickness, but rather how do we talk about regeneration, revitalization, and a renaissance of integrity, honesty, decency, and service…
Jessie Jackson Jr. is a part of the great tradition of Black freedom fighters and Black love warriors with unbelievable courage in the face of terror! He was not an ideologue and it’s important to not to reduce him just as a civil activist! He was a Christian minister, a moral an…
“. . .The response of the radical King to our catastrophic moment can be put in one word: revolution—a revolution in our priorities, a reevaluation of our values, a reinvigoration of our public life, and a fundamental transformation of our way of thinking and living that promotes…
“…All of us—highly troubled, unsettled, unnerved, unhoused, but still fortified… Listening to a genius, Luther Vandross—once you know how, you never, never ever forget how to love, it’s a sho’nuff thing; it’s been tested and found true— We come from a Black folk who have been ha…
“75% of our fellow citizens live in pay check to pay check… When I look at brother Trump’s eyes and heart and mind and soul, I see a weariness, he is very beleaguered, he is tired… You see even gangsters run out of gas sometimes… He is my political foe, but I am a follower of Jes…
On Monday brother Tavis and I discussed a variety of issues including Mayor-elect Mamdani’s settler mentality and gentrifier sensibility! Whoever oversees the police is a litmus test for Black people! We must ensure he doesn’t turn out to be Obama 2.0! #TruthJusticeLove @tavissmiley
Dr. @CornelWest: The Democratic and Republican parties are beyond redemption. “The level and depth of corruption of our system is such that it’s difficult to conceive of either one of these parties reconfiguring themselves.”
Dr. @CornelWest: Plato’s “Republic” tells young men to reject nihilism. “You live in a culture which is in so many ways a joyless quest for insatiable pleasures…but your soul can still be empty and your heart can still be cold.”
This is my tribute this morning on my brother @tavissmiley radio show to the one and only Dwight McKee - great Love Warrior, freedom fighter and one of my best friends in my life! Link➡️ t.co/Y646vPpHvy The pictures are from the last time I saw him at a PUSH event in Chi…
