Dr. Cornel West's powerful case for Bernie Sanders | FULL REMARKS

You guys decide to travel through the cross. Oh, again, I don't know about you, but I'm ready to bounce back in such a way that we send a message to the Democratic Party to the nation and the world, our campaign is stronger than ever. I want to be very honest with you tonight McCoy Tyner died today, he was the pianist in John Coltrane's quartet, he was 81 years old and everyone knows he played a Love Supreme with Coltrane: a Love Supreme, Bernie's campaign is a Love Train, yeah . It is love for the poor It is love for workers We don't care what color you are We don't care what your sexual orientation is We never know your national identity We don't care what your reason is Yes We are a human being who is concerned about being a force for good and we realize that justice is what love looks like in public, just as tenderness is what love feels like at Pride and Bernie's campaign connected to John Coltrane's quartet is one that says that.

We are a movement, not just the campaign, we are in solidarity together in various lines because we know that we have a leader, we have a spokesperson who embodies that fundamental commitment, we suggest that idea, brother who burns from Brooklyn, the biggest girl in the world and he is ours Jewish brother who decides oh yes, oh yes with you, everyone knows that skin pigmentation does not determine their spiritual and moral formation, they have to make decisions in life and he decides that this is hidden at the center of the genius of the Hebrew Scriptures . that unwavering love that loving kindness towards the orphan the widow the orphan the orphan the poor the persecuted the subjugated the exploited will be at the center of your vision you have been doing it for over 45 years and our problem is that we have some timid neoliberal politicians still is tied to the steel of Wall Street tied to the military-industrial complex feel tied to supporting napkins like NAFTA naxalite policies still tied to the privatization of too many of our schools feel tired of being like Milli Vanilli raising progressive views but When it comes to being a real dance, they don't have it.

Hey, let's be honest and I would say I had to cancel three events today and boss, when I said no, I'm going to be with my brother. I'm going to be with you all, we need all hands on deck, we have our backs against the wall, we come out swinging, we come out swinging and I come from a black town that hates it for 400 years and teaches the world a lot about love like that. love supreme or Stevie Wonder's love in need of love or Marvin Gaye's What's Going On by Toni Morrison's Beloved James Baldwin's essays but we know we have to swing it doesn't mean anything if it doesn't have that swing and we're swinging on name of love and justice there is no hatred or revenge there is no hatred in this movement of people we hate injustice we have exploitation we hate the occupation we have stopped before justice that is the type of hatred we have but it is love for each other but we have The The corporate media has not treated my dear brother Bernice there either and it bothers me because his criticism of the establishment is a criticism of the establishment across the board.

We need serious testimonies that tell the truth and seek justice, not because we want to. a favor or a prejudice, just be honest about the unprecedented historic work we are doing to try to save American democracy and all substance, that's all we're trying to do, we're trying to make sure the planet is still in its place , we somehow ensure that the children, regardless of color, can live decent and dignified lives. We want to make sure that workers and business users are affirmed. Let's do it, oh yes, I know. Remember that, absolutely, and we are going to stand up and try to embody the best of what has gone into shaping the American Empire and this fragile experiment in democracy and you only do that when you are brave and you are willing to take risks, you are willing to step into nothing and land on something, that's who we are, that's the fun of the years and Detroit you are the day, so now I'm blessed to introduce you to one of the great forces for good in the US Congress there's no one like sucking things anyway, he decides on Roxy, oh man.
