Is Michael E. Dyson Race Shaming Obama?

On recent appearances on MSNBC, Dyson refered to his detractors as "Obamabots" , ( a Right Wing slur for liberals) and "Twitwits", as oppose to nitwits.

I am proud to be both.

Michael E. Dyson has his opinion on Obama's, comments regarding Micheal Brown and Ferguson, Mo. 
Well I have my opinion on Michael Dyson's disgraceful and unrealistic opinion of our nations first African American president.
Now I am not as educated as Professor Dyson and of course I am not a celebrity.
What I am is a 61 year African American who had his first political debate, in 1960. It was with my grandfather. He was going to vote for Nixon over JFK.

Dyson claims in his Op-ed in the Washington Post that,

"Obama’s remarks on Ferguson are tone deaf and disappointing"

He states in his Op-ed the following, Regarding the arrest of Henry Louis Gates and Obama's comments of his arrest "The blowback from that intervention pushed an already reticent Obama into a monkish silence on race." To be fair Dyson never did say that Obama's language on Mike Brown's killing should be more aggressive, because he is the first African American president.  But, just like other races blacks have "Dog Whistles" too.
I recall coming up in the 60's when finally I could be proud to be black. Soon, Blacks began to use our new proud label, to manipulate cooperation from other blacks. That is the first time I heard the phrase, "Is it Black enough for you?" When blacks, from politicians and athletes and common folk too, were judged on how much "Blackness" they expressed in comments regarding racial manners in America. If you weren't angry, with your fist balled in the air, you were not "Black enough". 

It is obvious, that Obama faces challenges, that no other POTUS as ever faced in the past. He exemplifies the phrase "Damned if he does, Damned if he doesn't". But for so-called Black activist to attack him on his style is the quintessence of irony. It's another case of a black person having to do 110% to be satisfactory, in reverse. 
The other irony is that the only people who seemed to be support Dyson's POV hold- heartily are Right Wing Trolls. People who do not care about the context of Dyson's opinion, it's the fact that he is attacking Obama and they LOVE IT!!!

I have asked this question in a tweet and I will ask it again....WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT OBAMA ISN'T OUTRAGED WITH WHAT HAPPENED TO MIKE BROWN AND ALL BLACK YOUTH, WHO ARE GUNNED DOWN OBVIOUSLY UNFAIR AND ARGUABLE ILLEGALLY ?????. 

Every thing does not have to be said and expressed with emotion to understand what lies underneath.
Only an egotistical self promoting individual would believe, everything has to be expressed like Don King would, promoting a prize fight.
Obama said many times he is the President of all Americans. So therefore he must be cautious that there are those who fear he will lead in a unfair and prejudicial manner in favor of Blacks. As unrealistic as their fears are, they are still valid and MUST be considered.

If there is one thing I have learned in following Presidential politics for more than 50 years, is presidents get political points to spend the moment they are walk into the Oval Office.
It would be a foolish and stupid President to spend all of his political points at one time on one issues, i.e Invasion of Iraq.
Obama is not only the Democratic President he is also the ipso facto leader of the Democrat Party.
He has to think about others of our party who are running for office this November. What would happen if the GOP take over leadership in the Senate.
There is also Dyson's comparison of Obama's response to James Foley vs Mike Brown. Mike Brown was not beheaded on YouTube. I also was physically more angry at what happened to Foley but not less angry inside.
One last thing I think Dyson was attacking the wrong black person. He should have been attacking black celebrities  who showed more interest in dumping ice water on their heads than showing support for Mike Brown's family and the citizens of Ferguson, Mo, who were under military style attacks from their police department.

Finally, I too am uncomfortable with what seems to be the lack of attention paid to the problems of African Americans.  But I have faith that in 2016, there will be a change. The final year in office is when most POTUS are more likely to make controversial decisions. Until then I will support Obama unconditionally. If he leaves office and African Americans are still in the same place, then I will gripe unconditionally regarding his legacy.
Michael Dyson take a chill pill Brother.
