Cornel West: Intellectuals have betrayed the poor

 Over 1000, Cornel West, Immortal Technique and others pack the Philly Constitution Center in a collective response to Mumia Abu-Jamal’s removal from death row.

I’m extremely pissed right now; so here’s a picture so full of awesome that you can’t not smile.

“Being a leftist is a calling, not a career; it’s a vocation, not a profession. It means you are concerned about structural violence, you are concerned about exploitation at the work place, you are concerned about institutionalized contempt against gay brothers and lesbian sisters, hatred against peoples of color, and the subordination of women. It means that you are willing to fight against, and to try to understand the sources of social misery at the structural and institutional levels, as well as at the existential and personal levels. That’s what it means to be a leftist; that’s why we choose to be certain kinds of human beings.”

- Cornel West

isn’t this one of the members of the roots are something??
