"Michael Eric Dyson..Lets Try To Be Like Him" (The Breakfast Club Interview)

[BXKingPin82]

I met him in Jersey City a few years ago
Hes cool as fukk

He was joking and said I looked like Sadat X

 

[The God Poster]

Gates is an entertainer

You didn't answer his questions.

The answer is I don't know because I don't look to entertainers for their perspective on social issues

if you are not informed why are you asking why someone shouldn't listen to Gates over Dyson

I swear you be arguing to argue

I'm asking WHO is listening to and valuing Gates opinion

My original reply was point out a straw man being constructed

Who people side with the Dyson vs Cornell West debate and why?

Have met both. Mr. West dropped many truth bombs and knowledge during that one conversation and highly respected him since then. But that was a long time ago. Can't really rock with some things he's said recently. I remind myself everybody human.

That Dyson piece on West though...whew He went in. And though I may agree with some of the stuff Dyson said, I also have to take that with a grain of salt too. Sadly, the black intellectual world they compete to be the one it seems like.

Statements like this prove who truly ignorant

 

[KravenMorehead™]

[Anerdyblackguy]

He's really a good guy. But like @Pop123 said. I think DR. Cornel West is the man.
