I believe philosophy must go to school with the poets; it's not either/or, it's not over or against.

Love and trust and justice, concern for the poor, that's being pushed to the margins, and you can see it.

American citizens have been killed abroad by drones with no due process, no accountability, no judicial review.

You've got to love yourself enough, not only so that others will be able to love you, but that you'll be able to love others.

For me the prophetic has to do with mustering the courage to love, to empathize, to exercise compassion, and to be committed to justice.

Black people have been working hard for decades.
