Follow up: Magic on a PostModern Stick

Elon James from, BCCO studios, Blacking It Up, has now written about the Melissa Harris-Perry article on white flight from President Obama.  In his article in News One, he can barely contain his complete distain for a Salon.com piece entitled, Obama's  Bridge Too Far.  In his article, Really? Salon.com Writer Equates Respected Black Scholar With KKK

He wrote,


Last night I came across on article that I was so offended by that I reserved comment until I had a full nights sleep. I thought to myself that it was so insulting, so idiotic that it couldn’t be as bad as I was perceiving it to be. I needed to literally go to bed, take a mental break, and come back. That article wasGene Lyons “Obama’s Bridge too Far” on Salon.com. The article, a poorly thought out and terribly executed piece which wasn’t even cohesive as a whole should have been axed in the editorial process. But it wasn’t.





He continues,
Lyons compared the Scholar Harris-Perry to the publicly mocked known idiot Michelle Bachmann. How did Lyons think that was going to work out? You mock the concept that as a White man you might not always understand everything about racism, then you degrade a brilliant Black mind and compare her to a wilful White idiot who has said websites full of dumb shit. Oh yeah. You’ve just won me over. White Liberals are sooooooo not racist.


James pens a witty and well thought article on the touchy topic of race and liberals in America.
