Philosopher Cornel West & Rapper/ Actor Mos Def were both on HBO show Real Talk with Bill Maher last nite (Friday Sept 7, 2007).
Speaking on various topics starting with:

• The war in Iraq; which led into American History, Louisiana and why it was really sold,

• The whole videotape conspiracy i.e Osama Bin Laden – I’m going to say something about that

• The 9/11 Theory – Did Osama knock down the Towers? Mos Def doesn’t believe he did nor does he believe that we landed on the moon. Cornel West believes Bin Laden had something to do with it

• Secular Religion, Terrorism – why are they upset with colonial presence or imperial presence, Muslim origin and how they supposibly conquered believers; Islam is not a threat nor the problem,

• The warped voting system, the Electoral College

• Cornel explains what the naked truth really is

• Jena 6 (sign the petition!!!). How it is not a nationally publicized topic My mother said cut the FUCKIN TREE DOWN!!! (Here! Here!) Mos voiced his anger about the issue, and how the country is locating members of the Black Panther Party 30 yrs later and trying to send them to trial for their roles in the Black Panthers

• Barack Obama – How he is the ideal candidate to take office b/c of the current state of the country and partially b/c of his friendly look. How Barack has an essence of revival for the country and his genuine drive to be a good president vs the Dynasty effect (“the presidency goes from The Bushes to The Clintons” – Mos Def),

• The Presidential Campaign; How the Black people are split between Hiliary and Obama

Hopefully they come home, like they did for OJ – Bill Maher

Bill Maher takes a jab at OJ, LOL & Mos doesn’t believe OJ did it, but he does believe in Big Foot LOL

Mos Def is skeptic about Obama, though.  As far as not hearing Obama speak about Katrina, or possibly exonerating Mumia Abu Jamal

Great topics. More than I expected to get a ray of light.

Two powerful people in the African American Community; a profound philosopher and activist, and a modern day activist, rapper and actor. And Bill Maher, a comedian, outspoken satirical views on politics and current events, who was engaged to SupaHead ( let’s you know a lil more than we see on the telle, eh?), and whose show was cancelled off of ABC because of his statement on the level of bravery the plane hi-jackers had on 9/11.

Try to catch a recap on Youtube or HBO. Real Talk airs Friday nites @ 11p
