USA: Cornel West speaks during the Rise up October march in New York US philosopher Cornel West spoke on the "deep love for those who have been abused" during his speech at the Rise Up October rally, in New York, Saturday. West said that "the capitalist system is failing" but he noted that "male supremacy is still alive" as well as "homophobia." The American activist called the protest a "caravan of love" borrowing Isley brothers lyrics. After listening to speakers that also included film director Quentin Tarantino, attendees will set off on a march through the streets of New York. The march, under the #RiseUpOctober slogan, has been called by the Stop Mass Incarceration Network to "bring the reality of police terror and mass incarceration directly to the people," while exposing the "racially-biased" practices of the justice system in the US. An increase in unlawful arrests and the killing of black people in recent years has sparked campaigns against police brutality and racial profiling in the US, including the prominent 'Black Lives Matter' movement.
