A 1993 roundtable discussion on the current condition of the Black Community and the fight for Liberation. Featuring Derrick Bell, Elaine Brown, Stanley Crouch, Ralph Ellison, John Edgar Wideman, Patricia Williams and Kwame Ture.
Kwame Ture is the truth
Thank you for sharing. Is there a longer version of this discussion?
The second speaker is a grade A idiot. He really started name dropping black celebrities as if it represents black progress. Pushing that bullshit.
Crouch is such a sambo
One thing I think we need to realize is that Black progress,especially economic progress,may never be even for all Blacks. Because different Blacks can have different opportunities and circumstances depending on where they live. The job opportunities for Blacks in Detroit may not be the same as it is for Blacks living in Washington D.C for example. Also another factor is personal ambition. Not all Blacks are going to have the same amounts of ambition. Differences with this can cause there to be differences among Blacks and upward mobility.
I wonder if any of them saw a Black president coming?
Surely they did not call these seven people together for a 20 min panel discussion. I'm assuming only 20 minutes were allocated for the News Hour program. I'm sure Dr. Ture went deeper into "reforms vs power" and "organization vs mobilization." Each person's specific solution would have been great.
"I'm not impressed because Michael Jordan got a contract with Nike."
Hahahahah! Seriously, who gives a fu—
I love how he said comrade.
LORD HAVE MERCY!! THE HEAVY WEIGHTS [ TURE/BROWN ] VS..negros…AWESOME PRESENTATION
My postscript to this; Hunter-Gault has lost her way. I met her last year in Tampa. It was brief. I recognized her at the Tampa airport and wanted to say Hi. When I asked her what she was doing these days, she said she's still a journalist on the News Hour and does "Conversations" with important people. I had forgotten this much older panel when I suggested she add Angela Davis to her list. She made a face and said that "she's not someone who fits my program." I was disappointed by the strange response and so did not even have the heart to post the encounter on Facebook. Hunter-Gault was not someone who fit my program either. I can only imagine from her answer and her tone that this particular panel she was TOLD to do, and that she does what she is TOLD.
That interview should have been at least two hours. Kwame Ture never deviated from a revolutionary mindset. Organize, Organize, Organize. It's that simple but so hard smh
