#MLK was truly an extremist for love and justice, as he allowed suffering to speak through truth. Remembering his death and legacy is sobering.

Always a blessing to speak with my dear brother Anderson Cooper 360
Martin Luther King Jr was a radical. If he were alive today, his words would threaten most of those who now sing his praises.

The undeniable collapse of integrity, honesty and decency in our public and private life has fueled racial hatred and contempt. http://bit.ly/2DjlTa0

When you look into the eyes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., you see that tradition. He’s a part of a tradition of a people who were terrorized, traumatized and stigmatized for 400 years. While terrorized and Jim-crowed, he learned something from such figures as Frederick Douglas, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells, A. Phillip Randolph, and Marcus Garvey. King was a product of a black prophetic tradition, full of fire in his bones, love in his heart, light in his mind, and courage in his soul. He’s not an isolated icon on a pedestal to be viewed as some figure in a museum. Let us learn from him and from them all. #MLK
I deeply mourn the death of my dear brother William Spanos. Words fail to describe his greatness, but he was one of the grand intellectuals of his generation and the pre-eminent interpreter of Herman Melville. We shall never forget him.
Dr. Cornel West shared The Root's video.
The disagreement between Ta-Nehisi Coates and me is clear: any analysis or vision of our world that omits the centrality of Wall Street power, US military policies, and the complex dynamics of class, gender, and sexuality in black America is too narrow and dangerously misleading.
In short, Coates fetishizes white supremacy. He makes it almighty, magical and unremovable.
