Michael Eric Dyson on Real Time With Bill Maher - March 13, 2009

[badlands307]

These professors live on hate. Breitbart was the man!

[infoguy1978]

If americans hated people so much simply because of their skin color, why arent'Black Hispanics complaining.LOL

[J5MARLON]

"Hay man" piss on you white dude. Blacks don't vote against their interest unlike working class white Americans whom often vote republican. Big Govt is just one one side of the monster the other side is Big corporation and both of them want your house, move your job, and feed you drugs. A limited Balance is technically the solution.

[ricardofuego]

I'm sure Breitbart didn't understand one word Dyson said. He's longing for those good old days when a negro wouldn't dare to talk a white man like that.

[LastNameIsFiat]

Love how Michael Dyson thinks that speaking quickly means that he is right. If you analyze his "speech", all he really does is make a bunch of assumptions of why Andrew Breitbart should be wrong. *sigh

[bronco3250]

Why are liberals so demonstrative with their hands? Its all a show.

[akwida]

Michael Eric Dyson = horrible black racist.

[Munn2]

@akwida how so? are you listening to him dude? The man has three different degrees, an educated guy... he's clearly knowlegdable and far from racist

[ricardofuego]

@akwida Come on, say it: n----- ni---- nig---

[AmericanBadass44]

I saw Breitbart speak at a Tea Party in Arizona. He's a smart and great man. Before anyone gives me shit, there was a black speaker there and a Muslim tea partier with her children.

[ricardofuego]

@AmericanBadass44 I love it how white racists think the endorsement of uncle Toms to their cause make them look non-racists.

[AmericanBadass44]

@ricardofuego So you're an authority on who's black?

[andymccoy12]

renowned professor of sociology my ass. he is just a negro shill that works for left-wing white people to help ensure that blacks stay permanently angry at the whites. sociology is such an idiotic, phony pseudo-science, you can say anything you want in it, it isn't science, it isn't social-science, it's a joke.

[ricardofuego]

@andymccoy12 That comment was sponsored by Exxon Mobile and McDonalds.

[cbigb1000]

Dyson needs to string his words together in a more coherent stream. Those of you who judge articulateness on fancy 50 cent words need to really listen to this race baiter. He spews crap in run-on sentences and needs to shut his trap long enough to let someone else speak. Then again-he was in a friendly forum and he managed to keep Maher pleasantly stifled.

[notthere83]

that was quite a difficult episode to watch because of breitbart's rudeness. but i think there were better parts than these... a bit unfortunately edited together IMO.

[ohioguy156]

Dyson= Typical N****r !!!

[sinofmidmobb]

@ohioguy156 GREAT response... Especially considering he got his degree from Princeton dumb ass... LMAO I love people like you that sit and talk shit behind an internet

[sherrellboo09]

@ohioguy156 So, I'm guessing you mean niggers are smart, niggers get degrees from Harvard, niggers will not be intemidated by racist white men. Is that what you mean by a typical nigger? Oh ok. @sinofmidmobb, He's a fool! Especially sing as though if Dr. Dyson were in his face, he would NOT have said that! LMBOBVVS!

[DaHonestAbe]

Breitbart = dumbass

[LaSenoraG]

The thing about this video is Dr Dyson fought him with WORDS which is ASTOUNDING in American media and surrounding outlets. If Dr. Dyson had jumped up and smacked dude in the face with a chair that would be more acceptable....right?????

[trevorthemonkeey]

"white supremacey can inhandle black skin" that makes no fucking sense at all he is talking out of his fucking ass.Clarence thomas believes in the constitution the indvidual no matter on there race just becasue he isnt for afermative action and thinks you need to work doesnt mean he hates his own race

[GucciGucci86]

@trevorthemonkeey

WTF are you confusing yourself on purpose he did not say "white supremacy can inhandle black skin" he sayed "white supremacy can INHABIT black skin" which is true, how do you not get that?

[trevorthemonkeey]

@trevorthemonkeey he's not giving any examples but to a guy who he doesnt agree with and is pretty much refering to clanrence thomas as a tool for the kkk

[trevorthemonkeey]

dyson didnt win this because he didnt let his opposite get to what he was saying,not tomention his rap was just stupid made no sense had no substance and he played the race card

[Mcygee]

All this video shows is Dyson not letting his opposition get a word in. Easy to argue when you are the only one talking. Not to mention Dyson is throwing in a bunch of crowd pleasing comments with no substance and have nothing to do with what Breitbart has said. Of course the cool-aid drinking crowd soaks it up like a sponge.

[sherrellboo09]

@Mcygee The cool-aid drinking crowd? First, he everything he said was on subject AND CORRECT. Second, of course Dr. Dyson is not going to stop what he's saying to appease this racist fool. Thirdly, you are a stereotyping racist biggot for using such phrases as cool-aid drinking crowd. You are a whole fool especially seing as though most of Bill Maher's audiences are usually WHITE! So you can stop making foolish comments with no merrit and stop being ridiculous! THANK YOU!

[carad78]

@sherrellboo09 tell like it is. Breitbart is an idot I don't mean to stir up Breitbart supporters. The man is idot Laura Flanders already told the man what he is a con man, he has his option but hes not on the level as Dr. Dyson or Bill. I am just tried of these idots, everyone has the right to their option. But when making comments ensure to do your research and the information is sound and solid. But people like Breitbart like making an ass of themsleves.

[tv07aam]

MIKE DYSON KILLED this fat racist fool. Anyone who takes this pric Breitbart serious is either a confused uncle Tom or a dumb ass racist like Andrew Breitbart.

[harveysuperboy]

@tv07aam Amen.

[Conduit13C]

Conservatives, Right-Wingers are just pricks, I just shut them off whenever I hear them. There's no point in debating uptight asswads like them...

[Shafeone]

@Conduit13C Er...stop the hate?

[Conduit13C]

@Shafeone Hate my ass. Go hump a Bible or something...

[jacserafini]

Oh shutup. Andrew has far more intelligence then that moron who had his college paid for by my tax dollars.

[Romansteel13]

I agree that he is a genius. What does the IAEA have to do with this "white guilt" thing?.

Chomsky has stated in numerous interviews for the reduction of nukes. NNPT. He said that-i'm paraphrasing him now, 'Nukes are weapons used for the genocide of colored people." He's in good company with reverend Wright who said AIDS was invented to promote genocide on colored people. Obama the Shill also agrees with Wright and Chomsky.

[Romansteel13]

Talking fast doesn't make you smart.

[DesmondE]

@Romansteel13

Thats right. Saying intelligent things is an indication of intelligence. So is rational thought. All of which were on display.

[Romansteel13]

@DesmondE

White Guilt 08'. Nuff said.

[DesmondE]

@Romansteel13

White Guilt? What the hell is that?

[Romansteel13]

@DesmondE White guilt refers to the concept of individual or collective guilt often said to be felt by some white people for the racist treatment of people of color by whites both historically and presently. The term is generally used in a pejorative way (and in a partisan fashion within American political circles).

Straight out of Compton.

[DesmondE]

@Romansteel13

Why is that guilt relevant to all of us? History has not been a testament to this phenomena.

Have there been some studies on this? Some evidence of its existence?

[Romansteel13]

@DesmondE

Absolutely, prime example. Obama. Your Messiah no doubt. White Guilt Donation List: Goldman Sachs $994,795, Microsoft Corp $833,617, Google Inc $803,436

Citigroup Inc $701,290, JPMorgan Chase & Co $695,132, Time? Warner $590,084, Sidley Austin LLP $588,598, National? Amusements Inc $551,683, UBS AG $543,219, Wilmerhale? Llp $542,618, Skadden, Arps et al $530,839, IBM Corp $528,822, Morgan Stanley $514,881, General Electric $499,130, Latham & Watkins $493,835

All donated to Barry.

[DesmondE]

@Romansteel13

My Messiah? Obama is a puppet just like every other president. So all these companies donated all this money to one person to alleviate their guilt over the oppression of entire races of people?

That doesn't sound kind of odd to you? I refuse to believe that you are not smart enough to see that those donations DO NOT add up to 'white guilt". Companies like that donate money cause they are going to get something out of it. Corporations do not feel guilt. Try again

[Romansteel13]

@DesmondE

LOL, you are a dumbshit. If you had any semblance of knowledge whatsoever. You would know that half of these companies are owned by one person. I can understand that you possess a modicum of intellect and a double digit IQ, so i'll give you a pass. I will not say the person's name for he will probably backtrace my IP and send the feds kicking through my door. But you get the picture. You really are naive, and idiotic. I really feel genuinely sorry for you.

[DesmondE]

@Romansteel13

I rest my case

[Romansteel13]

@DesmondE

I shall paraphrase Dr. Evil, this will be the pseudonym of the white male ridden with white guilt who donated almost half of the proceeds from the aforementioned companies to Obama.

"I broke Blank's Back in order to repudiate and repair racial tensions that have been brewing for over 400 years. My forefathers were slave profiteers, therefore I shall use every cent of my wealth in order to regain support from blank community." - Dr. Evil

[DesmondE]

@Romansteel13

And Dr. Evil is who? You just supported your claim by paraphrasing a statement that apparently cannot be verified, made by a character called Dr. Evil?

And how is ONE man's "white guilt" relevant to what you are saying?

[Romansteel13]

@DesmondE

"My Messiah? Obama is a puppet just like every other president. So all these companies donated all this money to one person to alleviate their guilt over the oppression of entire races of people?"

Yet the first video on his favorite's

"Chomsky gives advice to Obama."

American Irony is the sweetest out of all.

You are another libertarian hiding behind the coattails of the failure known as Obama.

Chomsky is a genius, politics aside. The IAEA has disproved Chomsky many a time.

[DesmondE]

@Romansteel13

Did you even watch the video? I am not a libertarian at all. Im not hiding behind the coat tails of anything. No need to put me in a box, it does nothing for our conversation.

"Chomsky is a genius, politics aside. The IAEA has disproved Chomsky many a time."

I agree that he is a genius. What does the IAEA have to do with this "white guilt" thing?

[Lonewolf3000X]

Code words?,what kind of articulate;) schizo,paranoid ,everybodys a victim and there victimizer is a rascist,liberal (point the finger)bullshit is this?This is America grow the fuck up,cant nobody in this country stop anybody, regardless of race,from doing what they want to do,being what they want to be,...If this Fuck-Tard can be Professor....and you believe him, I guess you have ignorance that common sense will never fix....Fuck Lib-Terd cry baby bitches..ooh..Racist!!Fuck You!!!!

[DesmondE]

@Lonewolf3000X

Stop crying! I hate when so called conservatives bitch and moan about other people bitching and moaning. These people cry more than children.

[Lonewolf3000X]

I'll write whatever the fuck I want,when I want,I dont have to run it by you and you dont have to like it,So stop bitching about people bitching about other people bitching.

[DesmondE]

@Lonewolf3000X

More crying I see

[Lonewolf3000X]

@DesmondE More "crying" about me "crying" I see

[muddywood]

No....He's capable of speaking longwindedly.

[Atlantaminuteman]

CODE LANGUAGE ?

[DesmondE]

@Atlantaminuteman

He should have just said euphemism. Not sure why he didn't. "code word" seems to be a hot button word.

[kleinmensa]

Andy had his ass handed to him.

[TheGhettogoats]

1712NewYork blackcode

1804 Ohioblacklaw

1808 Washingtondc Blackcode

1850 SlaveAct.

1880-1910Convictleasesystem.

The Birth of a Nation 1915.

So before you take sides, think about that

and all of us need to improve something in our life.,

[DrCruel]

Incidentally - I'm not discussing my "tax bracket" with you. If I'm rich, I'd be marked as a member of the "exploiting class". If I'm poor, you'd claim I've been brainwashed.

I wouldn't responds to call for my ethnicity either, and for similar reasons. Marxian fascist class-based hatred is as unreasoning and as awful as the race-based hatred of Hitlerian fascists.

[blotchy67]

Dyson is like Jesse Jackson and Don King. He speaks quickly with embellishment as to confuse his opponents. As soon as Breitbart corrects Maher about the Barack The Magic Negro thing, they quickly change the subject.

If you can't convince them, confuse them.

-- Harry S. Truman

[DrCruel]

He also deliberately mischaracterizes what Breitbart is saying. For one, it isn't that Black Studies professors are "incapable of reasoning", but rather quite capable of intimidation, in pressing for a ideological agenda amongst an ethnic group and using some rather nasty racism-based weapons in retaliation against dissentors - I might add, in a well "reasoned" and calculating manner. Thus the use of terms such as "oreo", "coconut" and "race traitor" from this quarter.

[BekaShakur]

Michael Eric Dyson is a respekted Komrade

[drebeas1979]

It's very sad that there are people in the country who are as ignorant as this Briebart character, absolutely sad.

[DrCruel]

And they are growing in number, as the public becomes more educated. Even ridicule in the liberal-controlled press hasn't been able to stop that growing outrage amongst the tax-paying peasantry.

Guess our "socialist enlightened betters" are screwed then.

[strong8action]

This video sucked because it completely edited out the part when Briebart took the fast talking Dyson to task. Dyson refers to "code words" in order to give himself the right to accuse everyone who disagrees with him as a racist.

[themange59]

I saw the whole video, Brietbart was responding and speaking defensively almost the entire time, even though he wasn't under attack, spreading misinformation and a lack of any amount of critical thinking the whole time.

[strong8action]

I saw the whole video as well, and if Briebart was on the defense it was for good reason (e.g, he is a white man speaking about race). Dyson got pwned so hard when Briebart took him to task on his so-called "code words". You can't have a mutually beneficial dialogue when one party is constantly reinterpreting what the other person has to say by calling it "code words". Next Briebart took a page out of Dysons book and told him to stop delineating every word I say. Classic pwnage*****

[RetSquid]

But it's clear that Obama also is running for an equally important unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination — the "Magic Negro."

DAVID EHRENSTEIN

[trinitymike]

@RetSquid

Clear to who?

[RetSquid]

@trinitymike

Clear to "DAVID EHRENSTEIN" , the black democrat who wrote the story.

[Shafeone]

please. Like most lCelebrity Leftists Bill Maher is very good at railing against OTHER PEOPLE's profits. But I wonder, does he do his show for free? Hmmmm. He is a multi-millionaire. Anyone who takes his self-righteous b.s. seriously is as big a fool as he. Here is the motto of the celebrity crowd: "I've got my millions already. Now the rest of you give what you have earned through your hard work to those guys over there." Eventually socialists run out of other people's money.

[jakefree25]

Maher is no communist, He doesn't say Rush is bad for making a lot of money or should be jailed.

[Shafeone]

He believes that healthcare ought to be a not-for-profit enterprise. So a doctor, who studies hard for years does his resiedency, take sout massive loans to pay for med school should be a mere public servant (as well as a researcher of a break through drug) but a hack left-wing comic trying to pass himself off as a hip-but-serious pundit should garner millions. Nice. Is laughter not a form of medicine? Why doesn't Maher made jokes free of charge??

[bapyou]

"Like most Celebrity Leftists Bill Maher is very good at railing against OTHER PEOPLE's profits."

Huh?

Glenn Beck makes $26 million per year. I think that makes HIS particular brand of self-righteous B.S. MORE than questionable. But you right-wingers eat that propaganda up, don't you?

You also wrote

"Eventually socialists run out of other people's money."

My counter to you:

Eventually capitalists will run out of other people's willingness to support their elite lifestyles.

[Shafeone]

Your Glenn Beck counter is non-sensical. Glenn Beck (whom I never watch ) I assume thinks that making profits is not a bad thing. Neither do I. So as to your second point...I started a business from sratch with my own savings account and a bank loan. HAd it not worked I'd have been in serious trouble. But it did. ANd now I employ many people. They are not "supporting my lifestyle" they are supporting their families on the jobs I provide. They are welcome to leave any time. They don't.

[bapyou]

"Glenn Beck I assume thinks that making profits is not a bad thing."

And tell me where you've learned that Maher thinks it is a bad thing?

"I started a business from sratch with my own savings account and a bank loan."

The true capitalists are not small business people. In your example, you are beholden to a bank. The holder of the bank note is the true capitalist, not the borrower.

The right wing have CONNED the working class into believing that wealthy elites represent them.

[Shafeone]

Hate to break it to you but big business has given  more money to the democrats for years. Hedge fund titans George Soros and Ken Griffen were bifg Obamanauts and Al Gore is in bed with Goldman Sachs.

Wow...you really have no idea how business works do you? Everyone is beholden to someone. Even a kid at a lemonade stand is technically "financed" by the people who let him use the pitcher and kool-aid mix--the parents.

Personally, I never got a job from a poor man...how bout you Che?

[Shafeone]

Check me if I'm wrong, but didn't the richest man in congress, John Kerry, run under the democratic ticket? Didn't Wall Street give 4:1 to Obama in 2008? Hmmm. The biggest myth that you still believe is that the left isn't run by welathy elites. Unless of course you think getting paid $20mm per movie or $1mm per concert appearance is somehow more worthy dollars earned than a guy who starts a co. from scratch and builds it up to employ thousands and, gasp, make himself rich in the process?

[DrCruel]

The difference being that Republicans are "soiled" by the "dirty money" that comes from commerce and business activity, while the aristocratic Democrats gain their money in the proper old tradition - by taxing the peasants. And strangely, although these "tithes" are supposed to aid the poor, the only people actually enriched are these same Democrats and their sycophantic courtiers.

Gee. Where have I seen this sort of thing before.

[DrCruel]

Not that I am a fan of Mr. Beck, but his income has nothing to do with his content, other than that the content is popular. If he did rail against "fat cats", however (as Mr. Maher does), it would be entirely appropriate to consider him a hypocrite.

The problem with your counter is that when people get sick of socialists, the economic system tends to develop and improve markedly. When people get sick of "tolerating" capitalists and free markets, economies tend to reduce to feudal mechanisms.

[bapyou]

"Beck('s) ... content is popular"

His content is popular not because of its inherent value or degree of intellectual stimulation it provides, his content is popular merely because he is on mainstream television manipulating the frustration of millions. He offers only paranoia. O-o

"When people get sick of "tolerating" capitalists ... economies tend to reduce to feudal mechanisms"

Tell it to the ghost of Wesley Everest.

Q. What's you tax bracket?

[WonderBread006]

The conservative dude was right about allot.

[tapthepope]

No, not really.

Pretty much nothing.

[WonderBread006]

His basic point was the racism label scares ppl more than it should, it is for some crazy reason the worse thing you can call someone in this country. Not so original but true.

and in Bill Maher's liberal crowd there is no ''white privilege''...if anything a black privilege, that is how someone as articulate as ''mos def'' can get on there, interrupt more than anyone so that literate ppl like Hitchens and Rushdie have to agree with him that ''war is bad'' before they can get a word in.

[Shafeone]

I think his point was also that the label of being somehow not a true Black man but, in Dyson's words "a white supremecist in black skin" marginalizes many Balcks who would otherwise perhaps be more outspokenly conservative. Dyson is calling Thomas a "ventriloquist" for the White man and not a true Black man vecasue, well, his philosphy is to the right. (Actually I think the white man would be the ventriloquist and Thomas the dummy if this "articulate" man got the metaphore right.)

[tapthepope]

The racism "label" doesn't scare O'reilly at all.

Or most of the republican political pundits.

They don't blatantly come out and use derogatory slangs because they're smarter than that, but the message is still there.

In America There is ALWAYS white privilege. Sometime people are mindful of it, sometimes there are not.

Bill Maher seems to be somewhat aware of it.

[jakefree25]

I think more whites should get up and tell the blacks to shut the eff up and stop acting like niggers. It isn't the Klan who abandoning their kids, shooting them down in the streets or making them fail at school. A black can't do a simple math problem or pass a dumbed down high school exam means he's stupid and/or lazy, not racism.

[tapthepope]

This level of idiocy is making my head hurt.

Just stop talking.

[IRHari]

This seems to be Bill Maher and Eric Dyson's point. What jakefree25 just said is, essentially, what they think Rush believes, even if he doesn't explicitly say it. They think he is helping foster an environment which encourages this kind of racist thought.

[gta3theo]

In what way did that libertarian fuck intellectually outclass or outwit Michael eric dyson. Notice that after dyson was on his ass he turned his argument back to bill maher. I don't think that was by accident son.

[tapthepope]

No I didn't notice because it didn't happen.

Dyson took a second to pause here and there but came back w/ sound arguments and counter points.

Are you watching the same vid as were are or are you as smart as the white guy?

[Facebook289]

This guy was intelligent as fuck

[Shafeone]

YOu mean Breitbart right? Yes he is intelligent. Dyson is a hack. Remember: just because you talk very very quickly and use wild hand gestures does NOT make a man intelligent. Just animated.

[Facebook289]

Nah man. that guy was ignorant and doesnt know his ass from his elbow. And yes Dyson is pedantic as hell but what he has to say is quite intelligent. hes right about Breitbart. The man undermined who the guy was because of the pigment of his skin. Hes a race-baiting fool.

[tapthepope]

Maybe cause your too slow to understand the message he is trying to get across.

Its only natural for a child encounter something complex and if not understood immediately completely disregard it as heresy or wrong.

Watch the vid again and join us at the big kids table. Put on a helmet so you don't hurt yourself too.

[Shafeone]

Wow. You said absolutely nothing of value and condescended to boot. Ok genius, why don't you take off the beret, hold your cigraette like a man not thumb and index finger tips, put down the the latte, close the Chomsky book, and then after taking a bath (the first you 've probably had in weeks on account of being all "earthy" and all) YOU summarize Dyson's point for me?

[WonderBread006]

Who said i was Earthy?...or wore a beret? those are liberal stereotypes. I was sticking up for the conservative. You got your shit all backwards. lol

And Dyson is a moron as well as Bill Maher, if Rush Limbaugh is a racist than so is Sharpton, Jackson, and all those leftist loons..something a hardcore liberal would never admit.

[Shafeone]

Uh oh. That was a reply to Tapthepope not you. Not sure how that got messed up. Sorry for confusion.

[WonderBread006]

lol, I apologies

[tapthepope]

One of the points he makes is that you don't have to be part of the majority/oppressing group to say discriminatory things.

And vice/versa applies as well.

The BET ep of The Boondocks comes to mind.

And the white guy said calling someone a racist is un-american. Can you explain that one to me?

Personally, I felt they went about confronting Limbaugh the wrong way.

This vid explains it very well, and talks about what is going here. @ youtube

/watch?v=b0Ti-gkJiXc&feature=c­hannel_page

[Sarangae123]

fuckyou

[Caroliney27]

wow. micheal eric dyson made himself look like a fucking idiot by filibustering and shouting over his obviously much smarter opponent- i guess when youre clearly outmatched, thats the only thing you can do??

pathetic!! keep talking bitch!!!

[tapthepope]

What are you looking at?

Dyson would start fairly during a space in the conversation, the white guy would butt in trying to cut him off and Dyson would try to defend his talking space.

And Breibart's oblivious white privilege is painfully apparent.
