for Black People while the Blackademics were silent on bush but now come out Whining about this Man in the Arena..
"Ill tell you where they were, they were at each others schools sitting on some fucking panel theorizing about how to end racism or make it better for African Americans."
Thank for the link, she.. it highlights how the whiners conveniently disregard what President Obama has accomplished so they can get their damn whine on.
"Lately, Obamas supporters in the black community are fighting back. As West and Smiley pulled up aboard their Call to Conscience bus in Detroit in early August, a crowd of hecklers awaited them outside the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center. We will not stand silent as Smiley and West criticize the man who brought us health-care reform, one of the greatest accomplishments for the poor in this countrys history, says a spokesperson for Detroiters for Better Government.
The pushback is not just coming from community organizers. The poor did horribly under every president before Obama, and yet there wasnt this level of outcry toward them by these men, says Michael Eric Dyson, professor of sociology at Georgetown. That makes folks skeptical about the intent.
Folks on the ground are Not fooled by Cornel West, Tavis, and their traveling circus of whine and Cheeze.
