America as a “failed social experiment”
I grow more depressed as things unravel – from what I called a “failed state” to what Dr. West more recently aptly described as a “failed social experiment“.
No one has a more profound analysis and ability to tell the truth about “what’s going on” than Dr. West.
“I think we are witnessing America as a “failed social experiment.”
“What I mean by that,” explained West, “is that the history of black people for over 200 and some years in America has been looking at America’s failure. Its capitalist economy could not generate and deliver in such a way that people could live lives of decency. The nation-state, it’s criminal justice system, it’s legal system could not generate protection of rights and liberties. And now our culture, of course is so market-driven—everything for sale, everybody for sale—it can’t deliver the kind of nourishment for soul, for meaning, for purpose.
Amen Bro.
(and thank … for the activists, organizers and protesters!!!!!!!!)
