As in his 2012 debate with Black Agenda Report's Glen Ford, (part one here, part two here)
all Dr. Dyson can do is throw up his usual “wall of words.” But Dyson
cannot defend drone warfare across Africa and Asia. Dyson can't justify
the TTP and TTIP, or Obama's Race To The Top program to privatize public
schools in black neighborhoods across the country, all of which West
denounces. Dyson can't explain Obama's deportation of two million people
after he promised them a road to citizenship, or Obama's preventive
detention laws or his refusal to prosecute the banksters who crashed the
economy. So he talks about West's inflated ego. Dyson cannot defend
Obama's arms deals in Africa, his support for GMOs at home, apartheid in
Israel or his broken promises to raise the minimum wage early in his
first term, or much of anything else, so he hones in on West's love of
the limelight and his questionable status as a prophet.
