Very academic! I felt like I needed to take his course in order to understand some of the terms. I don't think he gave an objective opinion, mostly propaganda. He doesn't like Bill Cosby and doesn't believe he has any right to voice his opinions.

Nophoto-f-25x33 I have to disagree with you on your statement. Dyson makes every effort to share that he is completely ok with Cosby having free speech and saying what he said. Dyson, however, did not agree with the way in which it was done and how Cosby made the problems of Black America solely the poor blacks' fault. I think Dyson does in fact respect Cosby and his politics, as he states in the early parts of his book where he examines Cosby's politics during the earlier part of his comedic career. However, I think Dyson, although in the same class as Cosby, doesn't agree with what was said, how it was said, and the off-handed, blame-focused solutions that were given by Cosby.
