Harvard philosophy professor Dr. Cornel West weighed in on the ongoing protests in reaction to George Floyd's death in police custody -- and the violence and destruction that have taken place in cities across the U.S. over the past several days.
West noted that "black faces in high places" were not able to create needed change because they succumbed to the "capitalist economy" and "militarized nation-state."
"The Black Lives Matter movement emerged under a black president, black attorney general, and black homeland security and they couldn't deliver," West said about the Obama administration during a CNN interview Friday night.

“Black faces in high places’ couldn’t deliver...”
Deliver what?
Kwesthate speaks. Blacks can’t live lives of decency because...capitalism. Uh-huh.
dear Cornell -
below is a story about Jamaica and black everything - govt, police force, victims etc. please explain, because I can’t recall any concern from you about this tragedy.
note: I love Jamaica, and lived there for years, so don’t be patronising and say it’s because of colonialism or racism, because it isn’t happening in the rest of the Caribbean, and Jamaicans are mosty wonderful people who don’t make such excuses.
on occasion, some Jamaicans have rioted over a killing - sometimes for the death of the guilty, maybe a benevolent drug don for instance, and sometimes over the death of a “plainly innocent” person. when they do, the vast majority of Jamaicans, including from all sides of politics, do everything they can to calm the situation.
AUDIO: 23 Jan 2020 NationwideRadio Jamaica: Jamaica Records Record Low Police Fatal Shootings In 2019 – INDECOM
Posted by Chevon Campbell
Last year Jamaica recorded the lowest number of fatal shootings by the security forces in 20 years.
That’s according to the latest statistics provided by the Independent Commission of Investigations, INDECOM, this afternoon...
However, according to INDECOM Commissioner, Terrence Williams, things are moving in the right direction with only 86 people being killed by the security forces in 2019...
According to INDECOM Statistics, before 2019, the previously lowest recorded figure for police killings for a year was 2014.
In that year one-hundred and one people were fatally shot by the security forces.
In 2018 alone, the country recorded 137 such fatal shootings with 2010 having the worst tally on record – 277...
Despite the positive development, INDECOM is still pointing out what it sees as a worrying trend of plainly innocent persons being shot by police.
He says over the last ***4 years, of the 322 people shot by police, ***88 or 27 per cent of them fell in the category of plainly innocent.
He says this behavior is not emulated by the JDF, which suggests better firearms discipline and training is needed for the police.
Commissioner Williams, says, the police are failing to comply with requests for informal identification parades of their members.
Mr. Williams says since the unfavorable 2018 Supreme Court ruling stating INDECOM does not have the power to arrest, the police have provided no help.
The INDECOM Commissioner says the JCF’s lack of assistance undermines accountability...

Jamaica pop 3m; US pop 330m 88 plainly innocent would be equivalent of US police killing 9,680 PLAINLY INNOCENT in 4 years, or 2,820 per year.
how does that compare, Cornell, with the big, bad United States’s figures for “plainly innocent” black Americans being killed by any colour police officers?
Cornel West is either tone deaf or a subversive instigator without a moral compass. Zer0 was working for one objective: To inflame racial strife so that it would set our nation into a civil war. This is the core objective of Cultural Marxism. Revolution is what Zer0 wanted to produce what he thought would allow the elite class to take totalitarian control.
Glad to see that Professor Commie/Marxist West is coming out into the open on the news with his Marxist orientation/ideology.
Too many news channels, including FOX, refer to him as “Professor”, not “COMRADE” which he has been all his adult life.
And don’t believe any seemingly anti-demonstrator comments another rabid red, Van Jones, says. It is simply to deflect from his own brand of Marxism and the fact that he is still a red (posing as a progressive or whatever).
It is funny how black communists end up as either professors or in the Obama White (Red) House. Not by accident either.
“Professor” Cornel West is a Clown. An Affirmative Action Cartoon Character. So stupid only a Liberal would take him seriously. A Comedic Joke. The Black version of ‘Professor Irwin Corey’. Except Irwin Corey was much smarter.
No s*it Sherlock. This guy probably makes 200K a year and this marxist tripe is all he can come up with? I felt sorry for some black people I worked with who were all excited about Obama’s presidency as putting one’s faith in politician’s is usually a losing proposition.
Meanwhile citizen property and the very lives of citizens are worth less than the special minority who are in the streets burning police cars?
This looks like the very CWII predicted for years, Blue state urban areas continually in a state of chaos and warfare.
All this amid a Wuhan virus epidemic.
Watch the virus now run rampant among these rioters, extending the life of this disease.
President Trump is now facing the ultimate pinnacle of Trump Derangement Syndrome after the left has repeatedly failed to unseat him or prevent him from re-establishing America instead of a leftist Utopia.
Soon citizens will begin relying on the 2nd amendment to protect their property and lives, even in these treasonous leftist /socialist / liberal fascist controlled cities.
This is not about George Floyd anymore. Its about chaos versus the rule of the Constitution, and the liberal fascist crowd under Obama who continue to seize any crisis to work machinations to their favor against the will of the majority of the People.
Soon the only remedy will be righteous lead. And thousands of these rioters will die where they stand as they loot and burn their own cities, cannon fodder for liberal fascist like Obama, Biden, Watters,Pelosi, Clapper, Brennan, Comey and the rest.
Move along now, nothing more to see her. Its just a bunch of people indoctrinated into leftist plantation thinking to the extent that they think they are slaves who are owed something , when all they are earning are the wages of death.The rest of us just won't put up with it.
Let the target rich environment begin.Hunker down, keep your powder dry, and make sure you are in close communication with fellow patriots.
When you see British black actors in movies, they speak indistinguishably from other Brits.
When I look at the houses, yards, cars and children of my Kenyan immigrant neighbors, they are indistinguishable from the surrounding whites’ counterparts (all the Kenyan adults came here for opportunity, are grateful, speak like Brits, attend church and have jobs and mortgages),.
This whole “African-American” thing is self-perpetuated.
Oops. I clicked on this thread by mistake, expecting to read something from Colonel (Allen) West.
