  • why do they keep saying obama is the first black president??

    that is bullshit and they know it

    do you??

  • Dyson is on fire!!

  • Still more mystery. Prof. Dyson talked about the Obama political matrix...how he gets and stays elected but not what he stands for. Martin Luther King had the Charism, the moral authority...to push for solutions as a moral imperative. Obama has ....what?

  • Eric Michael Dyson is one of the most hollow, bankrupt Boule Negroes of the 21st century. I've never heard someone talk so much, yet carry so little substance. Dyson, Sharpton, Smiley, West, Jackson, all love to intellectually "masturbate" each other to orgasm. And their all shooting blanks....

  • He isnt saying shit. Just a negro trying to intellctualize racism

  • I like Dyson a lot...always have
