“War is the Enemy of the Poor”: Cornel West and Tavis Smiley on Poverty, MLK, Election 2012
by n0madic, posted on Tuesday, April 24th, 2012 at 11:45 amPart two of an interview from Democracy Now!
DemocracyNow.org – In part two of our interview with Tavis Smiley and Prof. Cornel West they discuss growing up in working-class households. “I saw so much poverty growing up,” says Smiley, who lived with 13 family members in a three-bedroom trailer and learned that even when he was not optimistic, he could be hopeful. “Hope needs help,” Smiley notes. West recalls how he worked with the Black Panthers to organize a general strike while growing up in Sacramento, California, in order to push for African-American studies programs in local high schools. Looking at current events, Smiley and West cite Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s comment that “war is the enemy of the poor.” They compare the amount of money spent on the war in Iraq, and the 2012 presidential campaign, to funding for programs that assist the one in two Americans who are now poor.

Graff explains the hurdles Warren will have to overcome if she is to win over Massachusetts Democrats and undecideds by September.
