The cherry-picking is beyond amusing.

I saw a dig on T. Coates because he didn't finish his degree, in a thread lauding Killer Mike...who also didn't finish his degree. And then reading here today, and I forget who made the point, as I've just gotten into the habit of bookmarking... If President Obama wasn't an experienced J.D., hmmm.

And Lawd knows I'm not chiding folks for not finishing degrees. That's a whoooole 'nother subject. But the nitpicking is awesome. It's so safe to listen to black folks who agree regardless of credentials being vetting (another key word here) but dare any others of us dissent.

The shit that goes on is so utterly complex within the silliness. As my mother would say, I'm just gonna sit back and watch the foolishness.
