Have Manifests Thee Existence And Conditions Their Minds Of Negative And Harmful Words That Has Become Their Own Chronicle Of Their Own Self Worth. We { Meaning Some Have Become So Un Caring In The Great Country. Among The Blacks. Thee Killing's Top's All Other Race. My Question? Would Be why?? In My Life Time Now Of 59yrs. Just To Put Up The News Papers Or Turn On The News. Where A Group Of Black Teenager's In A Crowd Watch'ed As A Young Black Girl Being Rape' They Stood Around And Watch'ed And Did Nothing To Stop Her From Being Raped.

A Gentle Slap On The Wrist. She Was Allowed To Step Down But Yet Still Was Able To Step Down With Her Full Benefits. E-mail Me At helenbjohnson@verizon.net Thank,You.

When I think of Cornel West...I think no one is deeper, better, smarter. There is no other place I would feel more free...to express and connect. The smooth wisdom of Tavis Smiley (my homeboy) is most affective and innovative.

Greetings to the dynamic duo of radio!! Interesting discussion on diversity. My take: Diversity in education-viewing our world in technicolor as opposed to black and white.

Keep up the great work!!

I look forward to reading your book Mr. Smiley and while reading Living and Loving Out Loud I realized that Dr. West had the honor of meeting Dietrich Bonhoeffer's godson. I'm amazed by Bonhoeffer's fearless rescue efforts in the movie, "An Agent of Grace."
