Cornell West on CNN 1/16/2018



And he said:


Well, I think it's not just a matter of words, though, it has to do with the spiritual bankruptcy, the collapse of integrity, honesty, and decency. It's not just a matter of being a racist, it's not just a matter of being a sexist and a homophobe. I think he's all three , but that's even less important than the possibilities of a facism in the making in which you scapegoat black people, brown people, immigrants, gays, lesbians, trans. You scapegoat the weak and the vulnerable, you link it to the rule of big money--Wall Street's been breaking records--big military with the expansion of the military and then at the same time you undercut rule of law . . . . 

. . . the fascism that's in the making is one of the most dangerous moments in the history of this nation . . . .
