Dr. Cornel West - Arrested at the Supreme Court

Professor Dr. Cornel West was arrested on the steps of the Supreme Court yesterday. In the video below Dr. West denounces the Supreme Court for making decisions empowering corporations. Holding a sign "Poverty is the Greatest Violence of All", Dr. West also noted that "if Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were alive today, he would be on Freedom Plaza".

If you've never seen or heard Dr. West, here's two videos previously posted on this blog.

Professor Dr. Cornell West - Speak the Truth

Dr. Cornel West is one person you can count on to speak the truth. I've run one of his interviews before (Obama is Wall Streets' black mascot). Some of his pearls of wisdom in this video include:

If you don’t talk about poverty, you’re not telling the truth

If you’re not talking about working people being pushed against the wall, with corporate profits high, you’re not telling the truth

If you’re not talking about the criminal activity on Wall Street and not one person gone to jail yet, you’re not telling the truth

The "niggerization" of America started on 9/11

Professor Cornel West and professor Francis Fox Piven interviewed on GritTV discuss the current state of affairs in America and what the poor and middle class can do about it.

Dr. West has a “gift” for language. Check out the video below in which he refers to “brother Barack Obama” as:
