Cornel West to Anderson Cooper on CNN: America is a Failed Social Experiment

His administration’s actions don’t support his words. Bannon is returning to his campaign and Stephen Miller is still his trusted adviser. Actions speak louder than words.

stop defending liars. if you believe in the value of your words you wouldn't have to omit trumps true statements or obfuscate the truth of what he's said.

Very true, but that makes up a small percent of the population. That same thing is true in communist nations for the party elite. But most of the population is very poor (and therefore "equal"). Mexico had a growing middle class.

My main point is that capitalism provided just as much (or little) "justice and dignity for working-class and Black Americans" than any other economic system.

Capitalism provided an avenue for the wealthy to confiscate wealth and power like any other system. Our wealth gap is horrendous. It has accelerated the last couple of decades. We are no signpost for any other country to follow.

No, I am not misinformed. I happened to be watching CNN at the time and know the circumstances. You do not. You have already been proven wrong. I am merely trying to help you sort out your cognitive dissonance. CNN cut away from covering Charlottesville to cover Trump, who was presenting honors to a small group of military people. He had just walked in moments after the car crashed into the crowd; there were no details, and that is not what Trump was referencing.

If you have contradicting facts, please present them.

You are suffering from the Mandela Effect:

Collective false memories
Another way to describe the Mandela effect is “collective false memories.” A large group of people collectively always say a particular saying or memory a certain way when, in reality, the truth is different from memory.

Conspiracy theorists believe the Mandela effect is an example of alternate universes present in society. However, doctors have a much different explanation of memory, and how some memories, although vivid, can be false.

Confabulation
Some doctors believe the Mandela effect is a form of confabulation.

A common analogy for confabulation is “honest lying.” A person creates a false memory without intending to lie or deceive others. Instead, they’re attempting to fill in gaps in their own memory.

Finally, I hope, do you believe that even Donald Trump would be stupid enough to say that Nazis are fine people on national television?

A White Nationalist organized the event. That is how the guy who murdered the women found out about the rally.

And neither is any other economic system anything for us to follow. Factors like tax rate are governmental policies, not decisions by the private sector.
 
And yet blacks like Dr. Cornel West have not been stopped from earning a good living. In the US if you really want to succeed you can.

Everyone knows that a white nationalist group organized the event.
The issue is whether or not Trump said that Nazis are fine people. The answer is that he did not say that.
He said that there are fine people on both sides of the monuments issue.

Are you saying that everyone who favors keeping historical monuments are Nazis?

Again, do you believe that Trump was stupid enough to say that Nazis are fine people on national television?

Anderson Cooper interviewed Dr. Cornel West regarding the broader George Floyd story. And what Dr. West said was crucial: American capitalism has failed to provide justice and dignity for working-class and Black Americans, and the current instability is a result of that.

There was never a party switch as suburban sprawl occurred through economic growth and prosperity in the south, southern whites began affiliating with the Republican party as they better served their economic interests, so shove your revisionist bullshit up your lying ass faggot.

Ya that SJW talk for putting words in peoples mouths that they didnt say, Trump firmly and unequivocally condemned the Nazis so drink bleach faggot:

I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the White nationalists, because they should be condemned totally —

“Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.”

Trump: "As I said on -- remember, Saturday -- we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America. And then it went on from there. Now, here’s the thing --"
