Good -Afternoon To Mr:Smiley And To Mr: West. With Due Repect To You Both. Meaning Of. My Mother Instill'ed Value's In Me As A Young Girl Growing Up In The 50's -60's. And Even On Today At 59yrs. We Meaning Blacks Men - Women Has Strayed So Far Away. That In Some Of Their Minds. 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. Young Boy's Walking Around Already Packing { As The Young Generation Use Those Words So Loosely } More And More Blacks I've Seen. Walk Around And See Of Our Black Elderly On The Streets Of Baltimore. Hungry And Homeless. Out In The Cold. Women On The Streets With Children. Homeless. Mr:Smiley - Mr: West At 59yrs It Sadden's My Very Soul. It Hurts Deep Within My Heart, It Hurts Just Being A Caring Human Being. People You Think That Our Goverment Care's Of Who Live's,Or Who Dyes, Who Is Hungry, Who Is Homeless, I See And Hear Every Year Here In Baltimore Of So-So Many Women,Men,Children Die On Our Streets Trying To Keep Warm, With Closing Of So- So Many Homeless Shelter's Here. But Our Goverment Have So- So Much Money Too Build Jail's Too Lock You Up. They Find Money Too Take Trip's On Us The Tax Payer's, Just A Few Year's Ago Our Very First Black Mayor Ms; Dixon, Was Found Guilty Of Stealing From The Poor And Homeless Of Baltimore. 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."

Dr. West and Mr. Smiley. I admire your intelligence and your gift you share with others. Thank you so much for caring about OUR minds and what we feed them. Peace Love & Music always...

First of all I would like to thank you for bringing to my attention the wisdom of Wangari Maathai. She seems connected to the truth of life in a way all of us should aspire to. You two speak a lot of truth also which brought me to this site. Since I haven't been working for the last two years like many others I have had a lot of time to think about what needs to be done and recently I've been thinking that we need to start a new economy. The interests that control the predominate worldwide economy does not benefit the Earth or its inhabitants, and we have serious problems that will not go away without the investment of money, intellect, and energy. We need to create an economy that is directed by results instead of return. I think it will be profitable because we will be concentrating on real needs but the real profit will be the fact that we will be trying to create a better and sustainable world for everyone. Let's get the discussion going, if the rappers can do it within the music industry then the rest of us can do it in the broader context. We have to break the Oligarchy if any real change is going to occur.

Hi Dr. West & Smiley.

We have some concerns going on here. We have the Discovery Channel that's going to do a documentary on Michael Jackson autospy on 01/13/11.

I think this is a disgrace to his family & fans. I have added a link to this post and would asked you to please take a look at it. Thank You! Vanessa Little
