(Since I wrote this post I found out that Professor Johnson wrote a book called "Until Proven Innocent" about the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case)
KC Johnson, of the Durham-in-Wonderland blog is responsible for much of the admittedly meager readership of this blog. I have to thank him for reading what I have to say and taking my words seriously enough to comment on them on his blog.
I'm honored that a professor at the CUNY Graduate Center at Brooklyn College would care what I have to say. I don't want to appear too falsely modest but I don't think I'm really important enough to warrant all this attention.
One point that I feel I need to correct: About eight or ten years ago I was the President of the Durham People's Alliance. I enjoyed my work with them until the elections cycle when the Political Committee chose to endorse the exact same candidates as the Republican leaning Friends of Durham PAC. That's when I split with them because they weren't nearly the radical leftists they pretend to be.
Also, for the readership of Durham-in-Wonderland, I encourage you to read Democracy Durham for yourselves whenever you see it referenced by Prof. Johnson. The good professor and I have very different views of things and a reading of the original will often give you a quite different understanding than what you will get from simply reading Prof. Johnson's interpretation.
Anyway, thanks again for spreading the news about Democracy Durham.
Blog On!
