That one time when Sister Souljah schooled Cornel West
Sister Souljah says public schools, private education, and college failed to teach her about culture, business, or organizing institutions in the black community.
From what I read, and forgive me if I am wrong, Sister Souljah may not have been an explicit communist as someone like Angela Davis, but I came across this video today and found she was very on point. Solidarity to all of my black comrades. <3
You're viewing a single thread.
She's 100% on point; and it's killing me how that Steve Carrell-looking white-hair peckerwood kept trying to yell over her to sideline her points. "Where is the white outcry...? Who are these 'white good people?' I want to see them. I want to meet them." I feel like I've been quoting her without having seen this debate for the past ten years.
Like Ture said about Marx: when you look at the world honestly, you can only come to certain conclusions; you don't need to be told what they are and once you've seen them you cannot be persuaded to think otherwise. When you hear that someone else has discovered the same thing it resonates.
Oh wow, that's an incredible quote. It concisely summarizes a point I have been trying to process in my head. That there are some things that explain everything and you don't have to hamfistedly jam in an ideology.. everything just fits.
