"In Israel, a country no less discriminatory, racist and abusive than the United States, and which has a military dictatorship in part of its territory, there is no significant protest about the way weaker people are treated. Africans are abused and Palestinians are shot, and with the exception of a few organizations and a few brave citizens, the majority either cheers or yawns." Black Lives Matter in Israel?

After nearly a year of the Trump presidency, do you regret your criticisms of Barack Obama?  "Oh, no. I told the truth. When I said drone strikes are crimes against humanity, when I said Obama bailed out Wall Street rather than Main Street — I shall forever support that. I was just speaking to the reality that people are hurting, and we have to do the same thing under Trump as we did under Obama. They tried to make me the darling of the liberal establishment. I refused it. "  — Cornel West, in an interview with The New York Times
