CB: I squinted through A. Reed's latest. Speaking of vacuous, his criticism of O's community organizer work focusing on youth voter registration is a big zero, fails to substantiate his criticism. We might consider Reed a vacuos ultra=lefty.
I've got some names for the disorder that persists in attributin "disorders'" to people like Dyson for supporting O. . It's starting to seem like crypto-_____, for one. That's especially true with no balancing critiques of Clinton. In the context of a two person liberal race, the silence on Clinton's faults from O critics gets more an omore significant. One thing to criticize Obama. Another to make no criticisms of Clinton while doing it. Quoting Reed et al doesn't get anybody off the hook in that regard.
Bill Cosby 's failure to address the racist causes behind anomie in the Black community is a fault in his approach. But the fault doesn't arise to the level that Reed characterize it. Black leaders can make critques of social problesm that white laaders cannot.
Obama statements include addressing econicmic causes of social problems, of "bitterness". It is only the racist media characterization of O's discussions that limits these to white working class. The inability to reach the Americcan dream stype statement applies to both Black , Brown and White, when he says i, not just whites. This makes his discussion fundamentally different than Cosby's. Dyason knows this.
