This is off the hook

Professor Kim hooked me into the audio of an interview with Norman Kelley about his new book: The Head Negro In Charge Syndrome: The Dead End of Black Politics.

How good is the interview? I'm doing the tabbed browsing thing and half way through the long interview and closed the window by accident. I will listen to the whole interview again, and this is my last post of the evening, just to make sure I don't screw up again.

He busts EVERYbody. I think my favorite statement is about how the Black intellectual class developed over the last forty years are performers, and (paraphrase) the most useless set of negros the Black community has ever produced. And don't get happy because he's including Steele, Williams and crew in the mix with Sharpton and Jackson.

He says progressive Black politics has collapsed. He's right.

ALL progressive politics collapsed. It's one of Mike Moore's biggest selling points.

That's because Black politics have been at the heart of, and largely defined the methods of, progressive politics since the 60s. Milk a working model to death.
