When Cornel West stopped by for an exclusive interview with The Root, we presented him with three questions that reflect the current state of the national political landscape. Watch his responses above.

In a video coming in January, The Root’s Angela Helm and Terrell Jermaine Starr will delve into West’s work and activism as an active philosopher and leading black thought leader. Topics covered include his personal beefs with Ta-Nehisi Coates and Obama, the need to call out sexual misconduct and the inherent gangsterism of the Republican Party.
