DETROIT

Heh, someone finally figures out that he wanted to be thrown in that briar patch.

"He exploited black sentiment because he knew the rituals of black culture," said Michael Eric Dyson, a professor of religious studies at DePaul University. "Bill Clinton exploited us like no president before him."

Not to defend slick, but what the hell does that mean???

It means he knew how to talk to them, to co-opt their style, and ingratiate himself without ever doing anything of substance. He felt their pain, so they voted for him. He just never actually did anything about that pain.

I would expect him to know the rituals of black culture, since he is black. I've been told he was the first black President.

Michael Eric Dyson, quoted in this article, is saying that he isn't as black as they thought he was(whatever that is). He just put on a very convincing act.

"The NAACP Fight for Freedom Fund dinner usually draws about 10,000 people."

. . .are we just to imagine that they did this year; or assume as easily from the above, that fewer showed up.

Black leaders?

That's laughable.
