Twenty-five years after 9/11, I still ask: What can a blues nation learn from a blues people? I spoke then of the “Niggerization of America”—a nation suddenly experiencing the fear, vulnerability, and insecurity Black people have endured for generations. We answered hatred with love, terror with freedom, and trauma...

Doctor, this isn’t important thinking right now. It’s time for you to grow and evolve. Direct your attention at yourself and your own people. Do it privately. Because nothing in your career so far has evidently accomplished anything for anybody else.

Cornel West in conversation with Tavis Smiley on why Mississippi has produced so much Black greatness—and why attempts to erase Black history cannot erase the truth. From the Delta blues to writers, musicians, and cultural icons, West reflects on how struggle, resilience, and creativity have shaped Black excellence, while emphasizing why preserving African American Studies and confronting America’s full history is essential to understanding the nation itself! #TruthJusticeLove Tavis Smiley - on 🧵 @therealtavissmiley KBLA 1580 - on 🧵 @KBLA1580 #Mississippi #BlackHistory

Given all of this hatred coming at us, we have to be very clear about the scope, the breadth, and the depth of the hate and contempt being directed toward Black people! But we’ve got to keep our priority on love — loving ourselves, loving Black people, and loving oppressed people — so we don’t get divided or consumed by these ugly forces coming at us! #TruthJusticeLove KBLA 1580 - on 🧵 @KBLA1580 Tavis Smiley - on 🧵 @therealtavissmiley

Brother Newsom could’ve taken a humanistic approach! He could’ve said, “I’m just like you. I was born of a woman. I’ll face loss, pain, and death just like anyone else.” But instead, when he thinks of Black people, he brings up low SAT scores. That mindset sits at the core of white supremacy—the belief that Black people are less beautiful, less moral, less intelligent! Don’t play with us like that Governor Gavin Newsom !! #TruthJusticeLove Tavis Smiley - on 🧵 @therealtavissmiley KBLA 1580 - on 🧵 @KBLA1580

Twenty-five years after 9/11, America is still living with the consequences of the war on terror. What did the war achieve, and what did it cost? I asked CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen, author of "All the Presidents’ Wars":

For 250 years America stood as a beacon of freedom, opportunity, and hope. Not because we are perfect, but because we are a nation constantly striving to become better. A nation built on this radical idea that every person is created equal and endowed with rights that come not from the government, but from God 🇺🇸 And as a proud Jew, it's impossible for me not to recognize what America has done for the Jewish people…

When Donald Trump reaches for the sacred language of faith only to twist it into mockery, it reveals not merely a lapse in taste, but a deeper poverty of moral character! Religious language, at its best, is meant to uplift, to console, to call us to justice and compassion—not to be reduced to spectacle or scorn! To be a Christian is not to dwell on any plantation—neither the plantation of the Democratic Party nor that of the Republican Party! It is to stand free, rooted in a love that speaks truth to power, committed to justice wherever injustice may be found, and loyal not to party, but to principle! #TruthJusticeLove Tavis Smiley - on 🧵 @therealtavissmiley KBLA 1580 - on 🧵 @KBLA1580

Prince had the courage to tell the truth about himself, about this society, and this world! He was a love warrior like John Coltrane and Nina Simone! He was willing to get in trouble, cut against the grain, fight the industry, keep the smile on his face, and keep the joy in his soul, and keep the love in his heart! And part of his legacy is that when you listen to his music, it's much more fresh than most music that was just released last year! It is as solid as a rock. It is new as foam! It is visionary, and at the same time, he had a sophisticated coolness about him! #TruthJusticeLove Prince ☔️ Tavis Smiley - on 🧵 @therealtavissmiley KBLA 1580 - on 🧵 @KBLA1580

Barack Obama on the 10th anniversary of 9/11: 10 years ago America confronted one of our darkest nights. Mighty towers crumbled. Black smoke billowed up from the Pentagon. Airplane wreckage smoldered on a Pennsylvania field. Friends and neighbors. Sisters and brothers. Mothers and fathers. Sons and daughters. They were taken from us with a heartbreaking swiftness and cruelty. Today it is worth remembering what has not changed; our character as a nation.

🎗️🇺🇸 Trump on 9/11: “We learned what a country is truly made of” The President reflected on America’s response to September 11, saying the attacks revealed both “immense and horrible evil” and the strength of the country that confronted it. “On days like 9/11, we learned what a country is truly made of.” 25 years later, Trump’s message was simple: America still has to be strong, and it still has to be smart.
