An African descendant of American slavery here, this was one of my favorite lectures on the summaries of Black Marxism. However, the questions and answers segment made me think everyone totally misread Robinson's text....I think non Blacks like those in this video, can't seem to differentiate between historical Africans from identity formations within capital. We are Africans, period! But capital creates a hierarchy of differences. Many of newly African countries were socialist and have created links of labor solidarity with Africans in America. So I think it's wrong to assume that because there are differences in socialization with racial capitalism in diasporic African people that they are somehow separate. This is why India fails to democratize between their labor caste contradictions and why Modhi is doing what he is doing to non Hindus on the sub continent. We are Black Marxists, we are really like this. Y'all should ask better questions instead of assuming matters beyond your scope of reason. Get it right.
thanku taimur ...
I can't wait to listen to this at work.
Congratulations on an excellent synopsis of this thesis. I've read the works cited and indeed I took the same things from them.
Poor girl didn’t know that 300 strangers would see her be late for class.
😂
Thank you so much for such an informative lecture about cedric.
First comment
Thank you very much. A very informative presentation. I'm also wondering if your student with glasses who was late for class passed this class. All my life I always wanted to be that relaxed and carefree person, but I couldn't achieve it.

Congratulation
This was a good lecture. I dislike this book intensely, anti-communism masquerading as radicalism.
Aristotle is not part of Western civilization????????????? What? He is perhaps the single most important figure in the history of the West.
The question and answer section is so cringy.
19:08 Poor Cedric Johnson... Seriously though, Cedric Johnson is great. Much better than his almost namesake.
LMAO. It's like racial socialism
What is like racial socialism?
You are missing the forest for the trees.
that's not even remotely what the book is about. i read it a couple yrs ago. it's just showing how radical black traditions connected throughout history to marxist struggles. there's no need to dismiss it, there's no need for knee jerk reactions that just make it look like you don't wanna learn
@@kerycktotebag8164 yes, it is, but also making an important point about the limited point of view of the Western mindset that led to Marxism, and that the story is much longer and probably not entirely based in Western ideas of how history develops, specifically calling into question the materialist conception of history.
That's what European socialism.... colorblind communism to hide European racialization in Marxism. lol y'all trash and y'all at the same time need us....
