Aside from being long winded, personal, and very misleading it doesn't make any sense. Not only that, following the feedback he wrote another long one shortly after this one. The issues are too numerous to go line-by-line addressing, the main thing is the narcissism strikes me as projection more than anything but whose decision was it to push forward a very personal public piece. In connection with the MSNBC employees? It seems more of Michael Eric Dyson doing the required things to advance his own career. I've seen him go for hardcore anti-Obama critique, to staunch defender, to hardcore critique, to staunch defender since his MSNBC job and Central Prophet position. I couldn't imagine a very public dispute would do either of them any good and West to his credit took the high road.
