Michael Eric Dyson
Famed “hip-hop intellectual” Michael Eric Dyson believes there is a deep gulf between the African-American middle class and the poor. He thinks the “Afristocracy” blames the “Ghettocracy” for their poverty and lifestyle, as emphasized by Bill Cosby's remarks last year. Dyson challenges Cosby and, both, white and black members of the middle class to alleviate the social problems affecting poorer members of society.
