TV ONE -- STAND: Michael Eric Dyson Breaks Down

[MusicTeacherGuy]

I think Dyson is a race hustler. He exists to agitate racial tensions. He's even agitating racial tensions regarding different SHADES of non-white skin! LOL

[AnonyMouseification]

@MusicTeacherGuy Oh, right! He should just stop talking about these issues, and then we will all have the Magical Shield of Ignorance to protect us from internalizing the harmful stereotypes that we are bombarded with on a weekly basis! Damn, guys, we've been doing this all wrong.  Racism is over, and media doesn't affect the way people think unless there's someone on TV promoting an opinion you disagree with.

[Renamandul]

@AnonyMouseification Look to talk about race in this country is not to suggest that someone is racist, this country was developed on the premise of race, to not talk about it would be to ignore the reality that stares us in the face, even to this day. Talking about race targets the reality of it, it doesn't suggest that anyone is racist. I think that Malcolm X was correct in his assertion that it is the guilt complex that makes people uncomfortable about discussing about race.

god will do his work soon

[DubCitySpitnNolige]

mr. dyson and cornell west are a poison to the african american race. they impress blacks with their words and entangle them in mumbo jumbo they can't understand, so they blindly agree and follow what these guys say. and their faith is in themselves... NOT God.

[kevcas73]

@DubCitySpitnNolige you know Dr. Dyson and Dr. West as well as you know me.

Please stop with the rhetoric.

Ignorance truly is bliss. Dr. West has been dedicated to the suffering of others, in action, since the 1960's.

[DubCitySpitnNolige]

@kevcas73 No no no, I have absolutely no idea who you are. i dont even know your real name, but i used to really follow what these guys teach. i was introduced to them through a pan african studies program at cal state university northridge. i dont hate them or anything like that, it's just that i no longer identify with their position and feel they are devisive, particularly with dr. west' stance on religion and the lower class. just my opinion, but i do know them more than i know you.

[kevcas73]

@DubCitySpitnNolige what is Dr. West stand on religion and the poor? Divisive? Talking about race relations, good and bad is divisive? That is a red herring?

[jumpingonglass]

@DubCitySpitnNolige shut the fuk up

[DubCitySpitnNolige]

@jumpingonglass are you serious??? i went back and forth with a different person about my OPINION and they shared there's, we had a dialogue w/o out profanity or degrading each other and you come out of nowhere and tell me to shut the f*** up??? You are unarmed in this game of wits.

[wheelmaster176]

Fucking cry baby

[CoolScoobydoo]

@wheelmaster176 WHy are you looking at this? Your opinions are not respected here.

[jumpingonglass]

@wheelmaster176 fukin bitch

[wheelmaster176]

@jumpingonglass up yous ya faggot

[wheelmaster176]

@jumpingonglass why dont you live your own life instead of worrying about the colour of your skin--no one really gives a fuck about nigger racsists like you. You just use it as an excuse to be an angry little pussy.

[jumpingonglass]

@wheelmaster176 I'm not angry take your own advise......I own two businesses, I'm no racist , but I love my people. I hate devils

[wheelmaster176]

@jumpingonglass And in popular black venacular whites are the devil,which means you hate a majority of your countrymen. I'd say thats pretty hatefull

[Thedarksecret1]

@wheelmaster176 Have you seen the way blacks have been treated by whites. Most white people don't have a good track record either when it comes to race relations.

[wheelmaster176]

@Thedarksecret1 Thats a two way street-my point is if we would all stop making that the biggest issue,it would fade. I am white ,I for the most part am attracted to white woman and hang around whites out of a cultural alikeness. That does not mean I harbour any animosity towards black. When I see a you black child killed in a senseless manner on the news a shed a tear just as I di for a white.. Good people are good people period. I try to live the words of Dr. King-many blacks need to learnthis

[wheelmaster176]

@jumpingonglass Also,I love good americans white,black,yellow brown. thats the difference between you ans I. You are a hater.

[jumpingonglass]

@wheelmaster176 really I am a one love one heart type of person .....fuck with me or my family and i'll do whats necessary to anybody. whites done way too much and thats not my fault i view a lot of them that way......they killed my family in congo. i dont like hate

[wheelmaster176]

@jumpingonglass Don't give me that horse crap-no one has killed more blacks in Africa than other blacks,the whites have saved more than they may have killed. And thats a cheap fucking excuse for hatred. As far as protedting family,do you think thats an exclusive club. I stabbed a guy in the neck trying to crawl in my window. If he wasnt 2 feet away I would have got my 9 and put one in his ear. So what-that has nothing to d owith it. I have never done harm to blacks nor has my family.

[jumpingonglass]

@wheelmaster176 anyway I said I dont hate I just won't ever forget.....I'm a man of God......

[selfexplanitory]

Great Video!

[AmAfrican]

In order to understand fully my position on Dr. Dyson. You would need to see the whole segment of Tavis Smily's special Stand. If left up to your statement. Anyone can interprete the bible any way they want, and call themselves a Minister of the gospel. Like anything else there are rules to interpretation of scripture.

I don't have a problem with anyone that is articulate. The question is, does he or she know what they are talking about?

[AmAfrican]

You are wrong...I don't assume you are an atheist. I simply referred you to a book written by a former atheist. I do however, based on the video you sent me, believe you are into afrocentristic thought and concepts. I believe you believe in universal salvation. Meaning all Gods are the same. I believe you are most likely an intelligent man and pride him on being such.

[AmAfrican]

Although I disagree with much of what Pastor Hagin says.I respect his position. I have studied afrocentristic thought for many years. Much of what he says about kemet is true. But he is not telling the whole story. I respect him for standing for what he believes, however. Dr. Dyson does not take such a public stand. That is the subject of our conversation. Please read The Black Presence in the Bible by Rev. Walter Arthur McCray. We are not all deceived by the white man's teaching.

[AmAfrican]

My friend there is a lot of Pastors in the world. Unless he is well known how would I possibly know who he is. Let me ask you a question. Have you ever heard of the study of Apologetics? There is an interesting book written by a former atheist. The book is titled: Evidence that demands a verdict. The author is Josh McDowell. It may or may not change your mind, but it will challenge your thinking about who Jesus is.

[AmAfrican]

The point is: "My friend, this is not a matter of weather or not we believe in God. Mr. Dyson claims to be an ordained Mininster. He has never recended that title". In other words, according to you, Mr. Dyson can claim to be a Min. of the Gospel and reject the very gospel that he preaches. That is where you have missed the point.

[AmAfrican]

Ready for what? You missed the point. Who or what is Jesus? What are you writting about? What is your point? How does that fit into our discussion?

"A fool says in his heart there is no God"

[fistfullofhope]

"fool with no answers nor evidence says their is a god

[hewhowalksthearth]

wow,all the handpicked house negros all in one house! what luck.

i'll have another round of that jesus and watermelon pleeeese sir!

[aquarianrican]

why should anyone who has been oppressed by the manipulated so called word of god not reject those still trying to oppress using their interpretation of God?

[2561243]

What's up with all these Tv One snippets? Where are the full segments?

[AmAfrican]

Maybe we should all be more concerned with Mr. Dyson's rejection of the word of God. He rejects the basic tenets of the faith. He refuses to except that Jesus Christ is the only way. Even when confronted with the word of God. It is a shame we cannot see the whole interview. He claims to be an ordained Minister.

[zerohero35]

You should reject it too.

[FixedNewsChannel]

Reject the word of god right here, my child.

[niguh2]

not everyone follows gods law like we do my friend. its high time people realise that. yes i believe in god but i also believe in freedom. freedom to do say believe or not believe. i had the honor of meeting mr. dyson and he is a very intelligent brother.

[AmAfrican]

My friend, this is not a matter of weather or not we believe in God. Mr. Dyson claims to be an ordained Mininster. He has never recended that title. Im sure Mr. Dyson is an intelligent man. But that has nothing to do with it. What he supposedly believes and what he practices are two different things. Don't be fooled by Mr. Dysons mastery of the english language.

[niguh2]

no doubt man. i was not trying to insult you or anything like that my brother. but i will look into it more.

[neogenesys2012]

I am unsure as to why there is a problem with Dr. Dyson's interpretation of the Bible. Surely, King James and the members of the council who chose which books would be included had an interpretation--mission is more like it.

When has it become unacceptable to speak articulately? Obama (and now Dyson?) speak well and are automatically no longer listened to nor considered to have a "real" opinion.

One decade of serious de-education will do that, I guess...

[CarlaPJewel]

This is so touching! I love Mr. Dyson, because he is so honest. His love for his brother is wonderful.
