"Black people have been treated like property, like things, like commodities. And we've still got to love."
"I'm a jazz freedom fighter, and I believe in the power of improvisation and the blues as a way of life."
"If you view life as a gold rush, you're going to end up worshiping a golden calf. And when you call for help, and that golden calf can't respond, you go under."
"I'm a spiritual warrior. I'm fighting for truth, justice, and love."
"I'm a Socratic gadfly, always asking questions, always challenging assumptions."
About Cornel West (born 1953)
American philosopher, public intellectual, and theologian (Race Matters, 1993; Democracy Matters, 2004), now teaching at Union Theological Seminary. Closely associated with Henry Louis Gates Jr. (Harvard Black-studies collaborator) and Toni Morrison (literary peer and friend). For an intellectual contrast, see Larry Summers, economist and former Harvard President — Summers's 2002 confrontation with West over rap-album recordings, summer-school grading, and political activism led to West's high-profile departure from Harvard for Princeton. The clash became the public face of competing visions of Black scholarship — celebrity public intellectual vs traditional academic gatekeeping.
