Response to Obama's "No Excuses" speech at NAACP convention by Carl Dix

hes right on some level, the schools are messed up, and the criminal justice system treats drug addicts like criminals, but at the same time, rap culutre is a problem and many who are in good schools fail because its not cool to get straigt As and that is what makes white cops dislike black people not just being black, Look at the Asians many come from poor, fresh off the boat familes from war torn countries and yet they achieve great things, youll never hear them complain about the white man.

great rethoric but no leg work why don't you become a high school teacher? And talk after work, all talk no work. I know I'll ge all kinds of arguments about this comment but seriously can you really move any one to action from a podium. go live in the inner city permanently.

"The way women are treated, as breeders of children...and not as full human beings".....wow, THANK YOU for that! As a woman, I cannot express to you my appreciation to include the challenges that we face, as women. I enjoyed the entire speech, he is 100% correct about everything he says, but am extremely grateful for the words he said in support of women....for hm including women. Thank you.

Awesome! We need more people speaking up like this!

Dix is correct...the whole system needs to go.

People forget the Obama story he wasn't raised around Black folks and he's right he gives it resonance. He was raised in Hawaii, Kentucky,and I forgot which Pacific Island. But that's it. Henry Kissinger supported him I just found out

II would argue that some of the most vital, fecund and articulate contemporary lectures can be found under the following searches: Carl Dix, David Harvey, Alex Calinicos, Slavoj Zizek, Chris Harman, Arundhati Roy, Istvan Meszaros, Richard Wilkinson, Kieran Allen. And of course Chomsky.
