Cornel West: ... Barack Obama is someone who likes to be liked by everyone, he likes to be able to create some kind of middle-ground synthesis that brings people together without really coming to terms with the deep conflicts. Here he could learn from (Frederick) Douglass. He might quote Douglass all day and all night about power conceding and so forth, but Douglass understood the depth of it, that you dont find truth in the middle of the road; you find truth beneath the superficial, mediocre, mainstream dialogue, and the truth is buried, is hidden beneath that, and when you connect with that truth, you have to take a stand. When you take a stand, youre not going to be liked by everybody; people will try to crush you, people will try to lie on you, people will try to kill you.
