Listen: Michael Eric Dyson's Interview on His Break With Cornel West

[Number23]

13. MED is one of a loooooooooooooooooong line of black folks that have no use for Cornell or Tavis now

It's a shame that they have taken a flame thrower to their own legacies and credibility in this way. I used to love me some Cornel West.

Also, take note of the folks that still toss these brothers names around as if they still have clout. Nine times out of ten, it's not anyone with any valid connection or understanding of the black community but is a likely Obama hater that gets the tingles at the prospect of using a black person to criticize this president.

Some cretin actually sent me a link to an article on Black Agenda Report here. The second I saw the name of the publication in the link, I just laughed. I know a lot of black people and NONE of them take that spittle flecked rag even the tiniest bit seriously. Again, for some folks, the prospect of using brown folks to slam this president is just too tempting, even when the sources they're using to do so are only given the tiniest bit of clout in clueless white communities and most black folks won't give them the time of day.
