  • @irasocol Sometimes they have positions with which I disagree. But they aren't all "paid propagandists" or "collaborators". Try more logic in reply to irasocol #

  • The guys marching in Selma were either assassinated or died in the 1980s. Bayard Rustin? Gone. Medger? Gone. Roy Wilkins? Gone. #
  • Many of these guys are just the clerks to the nephews of the sons of great men. #BlackEd #

  • @irasocol People look at what they see, what they know and then make decisions. I don't always agree with them… in reply to irasocol #
  • @irasocol but it doesn't make them dupes or propagandists or collaborators. Again, try harder. Use more sensible language. You sound silly. in reply to irasocol #
  • @irasocol Note: I always try to be respectful. But if a use of language is silly, then it is. in reply to irasocol #
  • Folks: D.C. had a choice between a decent mayor w/a bad demeanor and a woeful machine candidate w/a more-amenable personality. #edreform #
  • The latter may win. Now, one may argue that the former had a Churchillian manner befiitting what D.C. needed, especially in #edreform #
  • Perhaps. But Churchill, as we must remember, was leading a country during wartime. And he lost office after the war was over #edreform #
  • And, in a city in which being "authentically black" (whatever that means) is critical, the former was considered, umm, inauthentic #edreform #
  • More importantly, in beating back the ancien regime, you must also win over people who want to be wooed and want a city to work #edreform #
  • And the mayor, didn't do the proper wooing. #edreform #
  • The good news for Fenty supporters is that the night isn't over. The bad news for the citizens is that they may end up with #edreform #
  • the kind of corruption and systemic educational and political failure they don't see so much of anymore. That's how it works. #edreform #
  • Only the kids may suffer. #edreform #
