Michael Eric Dyson's Reasons Why Black Folks Should Vote For The Democrats

"This made me laugh and mad at the same time. It is important to frame this properly.
As we scan the nation and look at places where Black people are most concentrated - we see so many "majority Black school systems" that are failing. Near me, the Clayton County Public Schools which has 54,000 children, most of them Black is on the verge of losing its accreditation.

"Now follow Dyson. He says that the REPUBLICAN's have LEFT BLACK CHILDREN BEHIND. He is not going to tell you that in these significantly BLACK SCHOOL SYSTEMS......there ain't any REPUBLICANS around that are running the schools in the ground.

"Furthermore - Barack Obama proposes to raise the federal spending on public education by $18 billion across 50 states. It must be noted that evil George W Bush raised federal spending during his first budget by $12 billion over the good guy Bill Clinton. What gets me is that Dyson, like so many other people takes the 'Canvas of Obama' and paints their own picture about the WONDERFUL REFORMS that he is going to do as compared to evil Bush.

"Who is holding these people accountable WITHIN THE BLACK COMMUNITY? Aren't you all tired of being USED yet?"

and

"I am prone to laugh Mr Dyson out of the building with his rather weak list of justifications. The sad part of it though is that many Black people are prone to listen to him and take the bate (sic) without expanding the debate to consider those things that Mr. Dyson is loathed to talk about.

"I often wondered how a PARTY could gain MORE POWER within a community and yet escape accountability for their results. The reasons why this is are clear. The Black press and opinion givers are operatives for the very same political machine which is gaining ground cover like barrenwort Kudzu."
