Prometheus 6

All respect and no restraint

Tavis' joint

Professor Kim is live-blogging Tavis' The State of the Black Union thing. I got it on record and will likely dead-blog it.

 

Do you have a link where I

Do you have a link where I can watch the SOTBU in its entirety.  I am not able to pull it up at CSPAN. 

No, I don't. C-SPAN streamed

No, I don't. C-SPAN streamed it live last year but didn't keep it available online, partly because Tavis was selling recordings on DVD.

I'm glad you guys are blogging...

about the SOTBU, because I just can't bring myself to watch it this year.  Tavis has really pissed me off.  For him to make a stink out of Obama's declining to appear, and to reject Michelle Obama as a surrogate, is the height of self-important nonsense.  (And I don't care if Cornel West co-signed this foolishness.)  Tavis can have his day in the headlines, but it's much more important for the entire country that Obama keep campaigning in the critical states of Texas and Ohio so he can win the nomination, and the election.  So, in recognition of Tavis' pettiness, I stooped to commit an equally petty act and boycotted his event.  But I am eager to hear the thoughts of others who caught it.

Reading around so far, folks

Reading around so far, folks received it as a Obama vs Billary discussion, which frankly does not incline me to play back the recording.

I'm going to do it though. And right now I'm going to lift this clip of Al Sharpton
