Michael Eric Dyson on V-103 - 1

[blablabling2]

here are some bad people on this planet and some people that want to change the world for the worse and this guy is both, I hope God forgives him and tries to keep him from Hell.

God bless and good luck.

He assumes that the people who created the word need permission to use it. Now, I understand he means to use it without people getting mad or trying to get violent or whatever but don't think that I am going to listen to Dyson when I am at the movies and I am with my friends and we are making fun of Niggers who yell stupid shit out during the movie.

[tictoc2008]

I completely agree!!! and I'm white!!

[TheSoctress]

"Um, I don't make infants out of White people!" LOL!

[zarzoora]

amen

[roja545]

Evil-ution is the truth; now how about dark skinned east Indians? can they use the N word? I've seen some darker than black folk. How about dark skinned latinos? Infantalize this? The N word should be negative-or not, no matter who's using it.

[pinkwrapbub]

exactly because no matter what black people try to make it seem like the word means it will always mean one thing to white people.

[Curatica]

I am afraid that most of the audience of this clip, w or n, may not be capable to appreciate the intellectual genius of Dr. Dyson.

[DreamBoye]

you are so true!!

[omegaweapon116]

I just got one question for Dr. Dyson. What about latinos using the n word? I mean ,we basically are judged and looked upon by the same biases and do not use the word in the negative sense when talking amongst friends. I'm just curious on his stance on this topic.

[omegaweapon116]

Dyson is ripping mad real science, and i mean that. I'm talking about social science; listen to the man and understand the he has first hand experience and knowledge of what he is speaking about.

[GideonYayo]

I saw dr. dyson for the first time on RealTime this week.

and he was able to have conservative white folk eating out of his palm then randomly bust into a freestyle rap.

I've watched many panels discuss hip hop and urban culture..etc.

no one has done it quite as honest and articulate as he has. He's on this HIPHOP Vs. America panel on BET right now and he's a very well rounded person.

[dronias13]

Brother Dyson is one of the greatest scholars this country has ever produced, that said, the man has made better defenses of arguments than this one here.

[BrooklynNYC777]

i dont respect Mr Dyson's view on this issue.

[coachbagqueen]

Have u heard about the Jena 6 defense movement. w

[sincere3023]

Well spoken by an anglo (suggarshawnray)........

Only if you could walk a mile in our shoes.......

[coachbagqueen]

Free Jena 6

[suggarshawnray]

In the sociology of black racist's like you, there cannot be a wound the black community inflicts on itself that is not ultimately the responsibility of malicious whites. To think otherwise would be to "blame the victim."

[kinga8106]

to racist white people like yourself, there's not a womb that white people inflict upon the black community that isn't ultimately deserved or in some way asked for by the black community. in your very racist mind, every negative statistic in the black community is a result of some inferior, violent-proaned, gene that blacks have as opposed to whites and couldn't possibly be the result of racism, and injustice in this country.

[suggarshawnray]

Everything this guy says is a cliche. He's nothing but a charlatan.

[RedDemon]

As much as I respect Dr. Dyson I have to say we diverge on this issue. The vast majority of whites these days seems to think that the word is a general term for a non working derelect, yet they only associate it w/ blacks even if they say otherwise.

So when a black person uses it, it's self degradation imo. I don't say it anymore.

[Brooklyn1919]

The Word Nigga, Nigger is SELF HATE WHICH EVER WAY U CUT IT!!!!!

[kinga8106]

maybe blacks shouldn't say nigga but if we stopped saying the word it won't stop whites from saying nigger and it won't end white supremacy. it's not like slavery started because blacks were calling themselves nigga. nigger was the term applied to the slaves as a term of degredation. nigga was the term used by blacks as a term of indearment and a way of turning something hateful on it's head.

[suggarshawnray]

Will you quit it with your stupid white supremacy bullshit.

[kinga8106]

what are you talkin about? true white supremacy is bullshit and should come to and end but why are you acting like i started white supremacy? i just want to see an end to it.

[suggarshawnray]

Give me some examples.

[kinga8106]

give u an example? this whole society in itself is an example of white supremacy and if you're too stupid to realize that then there's nothing i can do for you.

[suggarshawnray]

Give me some examples within the last few years? Stop regurgitating cliches and learn to get the hate out of your heart.

[kinga8106]

you're a fuckin moron and you need to get the fuckin dirt out your eyes and wake up to the real issues in blacm-america. get your head out of fairy tale land and realize what the true reality is in the black community. now i don't know if you're white or just another house nigga, but get the fuck out of my face.

[suggarshawnray]

In other words, there is no real gap once behavior is taken into account. The same can be said for virtually every other disparity trotted out by liberals to demonstrate the "institutional racism" alleged to be responsible for the failure of some blacks.

[kinga8106]

your favorite book is mein kempf????? no wonder u fuckin peckerwood cracker. suck my fuckin dick bitch.

[suggarshawnray]

If there is a gap between blacks and whites that is detrimental to blacks, then whites must be responsible. But the facts show otherwise. Eighty-five percent of black children who are poor are living in single-parent families. Statistics show that six out of seven children raised by single mothers will be poor regardless of race.

[kinga8106]

everything u've just said is absolute bullshit and i'm not gonna waist anymore time with you. you can never accuse blacks of being racist because you can never be racist without having power. so shut the fuck up and go eat some cheese and crackers.

[suggarshawnray]

You just said a racist slur. You're a racist? Ther is no cause and effect of slavery? Why don't jewish people suffer from cause and effect? Stop trying to make white people the scapegoat.

[kinga8106]

are u asking me a question or making a statement? u're an idiot and everything u say has absolutely no base. just another white supremacist that think white people are superior. well you're wrong and one day u will burn in hell for your views.

[suggarshawnray]

I'm arguing on facts. You're arguing on emotions. You're a racist charlatan.

[kinga8106]

i'm arguing on facts, you're arguing on white supremacy. you're a racist bigot.

[kinga8106]

part 2-what's even sadder is that u actually think you're not racist. lol. u honestly percieve yourself as a non-biased white person when in reality, you're far more racist, and stiff-necked then david duke or a thousand klansmen put together because those people at least no they're racist and can some day change as a result of that knowledge. you don't know that you're racist and so the likelihood of you changing is nearly impossible.

[toobhead01]

You may not have started it but you certainly bennefit from it and probably would defend it to the end...Why wouldn't you..You bennefit from it

[kinga8106]

in what way do i benefit from white supremacy?????????? i would love to hear this.

[suggarshawnray]

How does he benifit from it? American whites ended slavery. Blacks and Arabs still particpate in slavery today.

[kinga8106]

you sound rediculous trying to turn crackers into innocent victims of black racism. you think u sound smart, but u really sound like a fuckin idiot because you're completely ignoring the cause and effect which is slavery and you're ignoring the injustice that whites have continued to inflict on blacks after slavery up to this very moment.

[silkmoney]

my boy speakin truth!!!!!!!!!!this man is smart for real!

[coachbagqueen]

Mike jump on the firght and the boycott of hip-hop. These rap videos are degrading to our women. tThe directors are men with perverted fantasies and are prostituting these women. Most won't consider the women unless the put out. This is legal pimping and prostitution. VH-1 "Sexploitation on the Set"

Mike and Al Sharpton is worried about what white folks think! I appreciate the fight but there are more and bigger fish to fry. What's sad is young women are selling their souls for fame and money.

[trublueone]

as a black woman I disagree with his justification on using the N word. Thanks for posting the clip. Normally I agree with Dyson on a great many things, but this ain't one of them.

[SIGMAMAN69]

What an ignorant ass apologist!

[disneylover4ever]

You're right. I also agree with Dyson at times, but not here. It's a cop out rationalization to say because women insult themselves it's ok to do the same. The word is degrading, ignorant, insulting, and shouldn't be tolerated. If you choose to be ignorant behind closed doors that's your business, but don't try to justify it or dress it up as something else.

[StongBlackWoman]

good point
