cornel west was on the pad a smiley radio show and you want to talk about
the way that we cover of the shootings based on the the pit the races of the
victims actually uh... so we we enforce i don't have all your best we do have
some of his quotes
he says that we can just shed tears for those in the vanilla side of town their
precious but there are no less or more precious in our poor brothers and
sisters on indian reservations
for killing each other or be they black or brown or what have you
but it's a good thing that we have a discussion on gun control winning one
drone control not a peep not a mumbling workmen black folk it shot banal newtown
connecticut vanilla side lo and behold we got a major conversations so is it
but that rambling there
way but he makes a good point that if i don't want to white people get shot its
major news which should be
but that if you know bob black children getting shot in different cities you
know a different days nobody really cares anything about and and killed one
that you know that we didn't realize we can't run his old he was very clear just
to be about that but no denying of this tragedy and it's a pretty good that
there's a conversation now
dishes saying if they'll just makes you feel bad that he knows it's not
it's not equal disorganized article i think it would be equal however
if the if uh... you know
predominant overwhelmingly black schools twenty kids were killed in a black
school you have so that so that's why it looked i'd like when i was a lot in
terms of his ideology what he says that he's a strong
before it's in office says things that need to be said that there are said here
i grew to more than fifty percent with
in pointing out uh... that privacy we have when word roskilde brown kids in
yemen
access error that surprisingly pointed out on the river
uh... i've been saying that people are more concerned but it's a little side of
town
i think that's probably at least a little bit right
but if you just part of it is because it's the mass shooting verses the single
issue this is why people behind all the time had everyday indus shootings but
they don't one of the time or two of the time of three at a time and it doesn't
it seem impatient same is true black people so i think it's the bigger point
of emphasises the match you law this point to that would be that's not quite
trilby guess what people were killed and shootings
consistently
the black people were killed
per capita
mhm on and so yet an adverb you're right because it's one of five it's not going
to be as big a news story and it's not gonna affect the national consciousness
in the same way
even the same way as of twenty independent
first-graders wait first graders were killed over a
years period it would
affect us in the same way
right wrong but that you could do
but there is a totally ballot point that you know of course that you know that we
see
because we presume
that when we read about a seventeen-year-old black kid get shot
sometimes part sometimes will make clear to cubans and crossfire
you know he was in the house to catch up
but will make some judgment somewhere in our soul that
lines again
he was asking for is in love or into simpler way of framing in he was the
wrong part of town lies about by the judge did say that it was his fault that
he lives in that part of some exactly reminded dick cheney saying about iraq
on meet the press
there in the same geographical region of from which the terrorist came to attack
strength right down the road and one of the world man so that's already daughter
act and and then oftentimes in robert gibbs that the other day when talking
about the tro strikes you know what we killed uh... all block e sixteen year
old son
and he said well you know women the dads like it should rethink you know
who there
showing allegiances
so now we kill their kids tonight so
it's all
braun part of town long part of world
so it's ok we com partment elisa rather silly to say that every american thinks
its okay obviously we don't
we think we'd get orchid that's what happens when it happens in newtown look
it does look like mike it's almost like my kindergarten school
hope that's not supposed to happen
