Michael Dyson



We spotted this guy at the Regan Airport when I was picking up my mom yesterday.. Actually CAJ spotted him, I surely didn't recognize him.. Have you guessed yet.. its Michael Eric Dyson, He rolled his window and waved at us as we said hello to him.
From January 2006 to February 2007 Dyson was the host of a daily syndicated talk radio program, The Michael Eric Dyson Show, which aired on weekdays from 10AM to 1PM (EST) on the Syndication Radio One. He is also a regular commentator on National Public Radio, CNN, and the HBO TV program Real Time with Bill Maher. Dyson is best known for his commentary on American culture, particularly as it pertains to African Americans. Dyson uses the terms "Afristocracy" and "ghettocracy" to describe a bifurcation in American black society. He is also one of the world's leading scholars on the hip-hop music genre and the culture that surrounds it, as well as its roots in African and African-American cultures and influence on American popular culture.
Dr. Michael Eric Dyson has been named by Ebony as one of the hundred most influential black Americans, and is the author of fourteen books, including Come Hell or High Water Dyson is University Professor at Georgetown University, where he teaches Theology, English and African American Studies.
