We live in a country of systematized behavior. Everything is systematized from education to the tripe we get fed thru the media. Pat Buchannan, blinking like somebody suddenly pulled the hood off his head, cannot reply to Michael Eric Dyson but has to keep the conversation stuck on what Holder stated as a matter of course.

When we look at the black community thru out this nation, we see black folks still being uprooted from their homes and neighborhoods in massive regentrification plans staged by HUD and its affiliates. In Pittsburgh, for example, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (a local HUD entity) sat on 1200 houses for forty years and refused to sell them to black folks. Instead, the URA waited for the housing bubble, demolished 600 houses in the predominantly black Hill District alone, and sold the lots to wealthy developers. This does not happen in white neighborhoods anywhere.

A seeming paradox, this action was facilitated by a black city councilman along with a black man at the head of the URA. This is a classic case of neo-colonialism, diluting the concentrated class question, racism. Cases of police repression systematically get dismissed in the courtroom, if they even make it that far. The black clubs and churches that Buchannan speaks of are largely middle class products of white ideology, imitators of capitalist values and aspirations, which pose no real threat to the status quo. Black culture, our right to express ourselves thru what we see as a continuation of our African heritage somehow seems to threaten white people even when that expression is not even anti-imperialist.

Michael Eric Dyson needs to shore up his argument with hard facts and some statistical data. He needs a stronger ideological approach to the question, because it goes far beyond the academic scope. Pat Buchannan is no joke, so when you come at him you have to give him a hard kick in the nuts.
