Thanks, Maestro. I watched a few minutes, but this is one of those I watch while working out.
It'll give a solid feel for Cornel's campaign, I can tell.
It is a joy listening to Cornel West who is running for president in 2024. He is not only a great inspirational leader but also a great teacher. Here, on the video below, starting at 12 minutes and 39 seconds ,West explains true solidarity which goes across racial lines. He shows his teaching ability by cleverly using a jazz and rock band analogy. He explains why he dislikes the term White ally. West speaks of the white member, pianist Bill Evans, who was in the Miles Davis sextet: “Bill wasn’t a White ally,” says West; “HE WAS IN THE BAND!!!!!" West continues to say the same about the Black member of the E Street Band, sax player Clarence Clemmons: “he aint a Black ally, West remarks, HE WAS IN THE BAND!!! He’s in the Mother Hucking band!!!” LOL!!! Please check it out. And for that matter check out youtube for many more of his other videos.
