The Ascendancy of Obama...and the Continued Need for Resistance and Liberation

ON AUG 4, 4 - 6 PM KPFK will rebroadcast "The Ascendancy of Obama… and the Continued Need for Resistance and Liberation: A Dialogue Between Cornel West and Carl Dix." Originally heard in NYC on July 14 when WBAI broadcast from Harlem auditorium where 650 people filled Aaron Davis Hall in Harlem, and an overflow crowd of at least 100 more gathered on the streets outside this important dialogue between Cornel West and Carl Dix.

In his promo video for the event—which has now been viewed more than 3,000 times on YouTube—Dix, a founding member of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA, set unmistakably clear terms:

"If you're somebody who doesn't want to hear straight talk on these questions, I suggest that you just stay your ass at home on July 14, and I feel sorry for you. But if you're somebody who's concerned about the state of humanity… if you hate the fact that these wars for empire continue whether it's Bush or Obama in the White House... if you feel it in your gut every time that you hear that the police have killed another unarmed Black or Latino youth and gotten away with it… if it really bothers you that women in this so-called "best of all possible societies" face violence and sexual assault in horrific numbers… and you wonder what, if anything, can be done to deal with these and other problems that people face, then you need to be out on July 14, and you need to spread the word and challenge others to be there as well. It's that important."
