Profiles In Ignorance: Michael Eric Dyson Posted: Friday, December 21, 2007 58 Minutes 25 Seconds Post Meridian I usually don't read Ebony Magazine. However, on one particular day, I was at a relatives house and it had Michael Jackson's digitally re-mastered face on it so, as a fan of his in the 80's I decided to check it out.
I then read an article written by Michael Eric Dyson titled "Its Not Only The Jena 6, You Could Be Next!". I was then reminded why I don't read Ebony Magazine. The article started out well enough talking about how black youth get targeted and how stereotypes help this out. But then, the article disintegrated into foolishness and ignorance. Let me fire some bullets.
There is something common between the Jena 6 incident and The Clearlake Three. They were both started by young black men engaging in either assault, attempted murder or some combination of the two. Now ask yourself, if they did not engage in this behavior, would they have gone to jail? There are times I wish I was old enough or perhaps ignorant enough to understand where all of this kind of crackpot conspiracy foolishness comes from. Perhaps I am out of touch because I did not grow up during the 60's so I can be jaded enough to believe anything that is told to me. Really I don't think so. There are a lot of people in the black community who have a vested interest in making sure foolishness like these rumors, the Jena 6 myth, The Clearlake 3 continue to swirl in the minds of an uninformed populace. It funds the Civil Rights Industrial Complex, sells magazines, funds churches and pays speakers. Perhaps, I am in the wrong business. I need some FU money. I think I am going to start a rumor that George W. Bush allegedly had Kanye West's mother killed. Even though theres no evidence and at best circumstantial, its good enough for Black people. Where's Ebony's number? I got something ignorant to say! Im gonna start booking some speeches!

He didn't, which you demonstrated by quoting him (in an attempt to criticize him) in the next line: "...allot of people in the black community." A lot is not all. "All black people are not ignorant." "Not all black people are ignorant," dear. For one criticizing spelling and attempting to display intelligence, this sentence alone makes the effort backfire. "Sometimes I feel stupid, because I am black" That shouldn't be the reason you feel stupid. You should feel stupid because of this racist, illogical, contradicting post you have unfortunately graced us with. "...accepted by your kind, a misinformed racist Republican" The only one that has displayed racisim or racial slurs is you: "...helping stupid crackers like you all day long as a CRA officer." And considering it was largely Southern Democrats who opposed the efforts of the Civil Rights, singling out Republicans is not only unwise, but uninformed. "I am also a councilman in a medium sized midwestern community" Appealing to your supposed credentials to somehow validate your post is not only irrelevant, but a logical fallacy. Frankly, you seem to fall into this ignorant category that the author was referencing.

A lot is two words and spelled "a lot", not' ...allot of people in the black community". I work for 5th Third bank and spend most of my time helping stupid crackers like you all day long as a CRA officer. All black people are not ignorant. Sometimes I feel stupid, because I am black, and I have been ‘steppin and fetchin’ all my life just to be accepted by your kind, a misinformed racist Republican. By the way, I am also a councilman in a medium sized midwestern community. Which for my protection, I will not name. Get a life!!!
