The only racist perspective I see, is when an independent black man dares to stray away from the liberal democrat plantation, he gets ridiculed and called uncle tom or whatever. Don't you dare undermine Al Sharpton you silly independent thinker!
@ThePelicans44 It's funny how the white right try to accuse blacks of racism when they bash their traitors. Every people has the right to single out and scorn their traitors, except black americans. That's why an Uncle Tom is called "an independent black man" by white supremacists. All the time the white right implies that if only a minority of blacks are conservatives is because they are brainwashed by liberal-democrats, and they think that's not a racist thing to say.
@ricardofuego Unfortunately for you then, there are a lot of Uncle Toms in the closet, and the Democrat Party, the creators of the KKK, will not have this large of a monopoly on black people forever.
@ThePelicans44 I'm not defending the democrap party, I'm pointing out your racist bias in believing black people have a innate capacity of being brainwashed by the democrat/liberals, while you call an Uncle Tom an "independent black man".
The only person, in my opinion, who ALWAYS knows what they're talking about is The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. What Dyson said doesn't apply now regarding Hillary or Barack. Hillary wants to destroy Africa and Obama is a puppet, deceiving Africans and Black Americans into supporting a war against Africa (Libya). Only Farrakhan left room for error when speaking on Obama. He said Obama could "possibly" change the world. Everyone else, like children, believed Obama would be the Messiah.
@RoboSlater I'm looking forward to have those personal issues too, then. Because "normal" americans seem to be dumb, racist, and ignorant mother fuckers.
Far too much emotion here. Dyson was wrong about Hillary and Barack. They both sold their souls and are now rich shills for the military/corporate/bail out fat cats/ make the rest of us US 280 million Americans third world peasents, "complex".
@synquantro, hahaha @ they wouldn't be employed if their wasn't racism. LMAO! Too funny. Well, that's probably true. But guess what, I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Racism still exists! *gasp* Race was created as a social construction to divide and control power in America. There's no land of White, but we have white people. Africans didn't run around calling themselves black until they got to the U.S. and they were given that moniker. Look up Bacon's Rebellion and educate yourself!
more non=farmers there are the more we need slaves to overwork to feed/clothes/house professors & students & other status seeking elite-i hope we farmers dont have to be ashamed of being the most useful pple on earth-hear that teachers? we want equality-join the elite- or bring equality to farmers and mothers-the most needed pple everywhere on earth
israeli & palestinian women & children must have their OWN lands/farm collectives- where men cant invade and cause overpopulation & war & batterings & rapes & murders of women& children
Everyone should remember that people on this panel would be unemployed if racism didn't exist. They are racial warmongers. They get paid to stir up race issues and self-appoint blacks as victims. Consequently it is pretty much fair game for a black person today to be racist and express fear toward white people. This is a distinguished professor at Georgetown who is doing a mock caricature of a white person. Imagine if the opposite happened at a public forum. This is shameful.
If Obama wasn't "black", blacks would not have voted for him. If you want proof, ask any black Obama supporter what specifically made them want to vote for Obama. What's even sadder is that Obama is more Arab than he is Black.
Black people all voted for Bill Clinton. Voted for Hillary. Black people been voting for white democrats since we've been able to vote. Jesse Jackson ran once and did all black people vote for him? No. Go look up the numbers. There have been other black candidates that have been interested as well. Did they get voted in? No. I myself was for Hillary Clinton but I thought both of them were qualified so I was fine putting my support behind Obama when Hillary lost.
@VeggieTrunks --It's true that blacks voted for 'Slick Willie' & Hillary. Blacks voted for Jesse too!! Remember Super Tuesday?? After that, the democrat powerbrokers knew they didn't want Jesse maintaining that lead. They had to find someone else. Gary Hart was out. Enter Michael Dukakis. He was too short to be president anyway. LOL Blacks were familiar with with Hillary, but once they found Obama-and his position on the issues.....
You have the luxury of saying this garbage because Barack has been the first NON-WHITE CANDIDATE in history to win the primaries and actually become able to be voted on. If we all just voted for him because he was black, what about the Asians, Latinos, oh and the WHITE PEOPLE that voted for him? Are all those white people all voting for him because he's black too?
You are completely incompetent, ignorant, and deluded. Take off that confederate flag t-shirt and get in school.
@zekal10 How is he more arab than black?i thought his dad was black and from kenya and his mother was white from....somewhere,Where does the arab come from?
This is only logical if there's no racism inUS and even in the democratic party!I recall that some democrats vehemently swore to vote republican if Hilary lost!Disrespect of other races didnt start with AfricanAmericans!House negros are judged by their speech.Remember that Micheal Manley(white) of Jamaica in the 1970&1980's was voted repeatedly to power by predominantly blacks ina country where 80% are blacks b'cos racism(almost non existant in Jamaica) has never been an issue in that country!!
The fact that this man has anybody who considers him articulate, profound or intelligent is a testament to the shockingly high levels of illiteracy in black America.
I say this because it is impossible to actually comprehend this man's arguments and still think he is clever. Practically everything he says is a pathetic liberal platitude clothed in esoteric vocabulary choices and repeated at rocket-speed. He is a billboard for the term: "pseudo-intellectual". His fans need to learn to read.

Baddest Brother on the INTELLECTUAL SCENE RIGHT NOW. Cornel West tries to come close but he doesn't have the SKILLS of brother Dyson. However, I love both and have read books by both. "Sometimes when women speak Patriachy never has a better voice." That's a bad boy right there. Do your thing Mike.....
One thing I gathered from all of the screaming and cheering. Why did Tavis call out Sharpton, Mark M., D. Heights, etc., for telling the Blk community, "It's not TOTALLY up to the President to fix our problems. We should take some responsibility for ourselves." Then, I recall ppl. saying, "if Obama is elected, he won't solve all of the problems in 1,2, or 4 years!" Now, after a 1 1/2 yrs., its, "what happened? I don't see any CHANGE." Some ppl. are setting this man up for primary. Stay Tuned!
Dyson is the only real one speaking. Like he totally ripped Jeese. I lol'd at that. Like he beat everything senseless with the truth and used negro instead of the n-word (mad respect for that.).
@StanleyT123 He spent part of his speech defending Hillary, so no he's not. He actually didn't attack whites at all during this clip... I suggest you listen to it again.
This clip is a good indicator of what he says before a camera; he has never been known to "hate" on whites though he does try to defend the position of blacks in today's America because he feels their culture is underrepresented and misunderstood.
@galept I completely disagree. No one would criticize someone who defends the position of Blacks or any of the oppressed. That's not what I said. At all. That has not been my experience of Eric Michael Dyson. He's a smart guy and has a smooth rap, but so does Louis Farrakhan. That doesn't necessarily impress me. I listen for content and an understanding of Human nature.
@StanleyT123 Louis Farrakhan has committed countless controversial actions over the decades, something Dyson has not. I would not have made that comparison. I don't remember talking about his flow either. While Bill Cosby is telling blacks to get themselves together, Dyson is telling him to take into account all the economic and social factors that he says compel lower-income black Americans to have such high rates of crime, teen pregnancy, divorce, etc.
@galept Which I don't disagree with. And it so happens I agree with MOST of what he talks about. I just have a serious problem with this belief in a "system of white supremacy" and the harmful ramifications of this over-simplified belief. It is sadly reinforced among many of our so-called African American leaders and talking heads, and as far as I'm concerned is just a contiuation of racism, perpetuating a one-dimensional view of an entire "race" of People.
@StanleyT123 You don't have to agree with his "content" or his understanding of human nature, but I just feel you're barking up the wrong tree when it comes to his criticisms of white people. He doesn't focus his energies there. If he does, maybe you can send me a link.
degenerate so-called intellectuals. If he wants to rap, go form a band. Dyson has no constituency. Obama has power given by the people. Dyson is the guy who keeps the bar raucous.
A lot has changed for African Americans in America. African Americans are the most organized and powerful minority group in the USA. African Americans have created their own colleges, universities, radio stations, magazines. African Americans also have been very involved in politics and now a black man is the president of the USA. African Americans are incredible people.
created their own universities,but are no longer controlled by them. And the magazines...you think Black people own them, they have been hijacked by corporate people that seek to exploitg Blacks and these corporate Blacks have sold out for the money to do it. Just look at BET (Black exploitation television) they have sold out along tome ago. So know we are not powerful, cwe could be, but we are not. We are great people, but we are a lost people.

Black folk, black men, black issues. us them, them us we, they. all i ever hear out of black leaders mouths is racial. thisis why i believe blacks are the most racist people of all time.
you need to learn the difference between the term "racist" and "racial". you may hear a lot of so-called black leaders speak the TRUTH of racial injustice and the plight of black men and women in america and what the solutions to our problems are. but that doesn't make them RACIST. that makes them people who are RACIALLY aware, who are sincerely (or at least appear to be) trying to solve the overwhelming problems facing the black community which were creating by white supremacy. get a clue.
it's funny: i never hear white people talking about how they want to help solve the problems in the black community, which they've created and thus are benefiting from. all i ever hear them do is call blacks RACIST for trying to correct the very problems that whites continually complain about while continually doing all they can to maintain the status quo and constantly lying about equality and racial indifference. this is why I believe that whites are the most racist people of all time.
It's funny. I never hear the black people take responsibility for themselves in any aspect of their own lives. Ever. Its like its not an option. Its all the white mans fault. Thats pretty silly if you really start to think about it. Thats another thing "thinking" doesnt appeal to people like you either. Youcant make outlandish claims like it was the white devils fault were fucked up, and expect people to give a shit. Btw, i only read your first paragraph, so dont waste your time like that.
u only read my first paragraph because u, just like most white people, don't wanna hear nor read the truth. u have this unfounded preconceived notion that blacks are inferior to whites in every way and you'll listen to no evidence to the contrary, which makes debating with you about as useful ad debating with a kitchen table. your "white devil" comment is evidence that you have an inability to listen. all you do is make knee-jerk assumptions, assertions and ad hominen attacks. so typical.
You are good at rattling off thoughts and feelings that you assume others hold and feel. None of it is true whatsoever, but you are good at saying it for no reason. Hm, maybe this is why no one gives a damn about what you have to say. You personally that is. You are the king of stupid.
How do you keep a people down? You 'never' let them 'know' their history.
The 7th Cavalry got their butts in a sling again after Little Big Horn, fourteen years later, the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. If it wasn't for the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, there would of been a second massacre of the 7th Cavalry. Read, and visit site/history, rescue at pine ridge. com
This nigger will be crying racisim 50 years from now if he is still alive. White people put Obama in office, and if anything does not go his way, it's white racisim, go fuck yourself!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dyson is completely full of shit! I can't stand listening to this guy and how he talks sooo fast with his fucking 'Queen's English'. oooh, he knows 'big words'!!He's sooo full of himself and so full of shit.Listen to Dyson and usually he throws in stuff about 'when he was 'at Princeton' etc. What a fucking sham. Listen to the crap he's spewing at 100 MPH?He doesn't even breathe between sentences(His 300 word sentences!)My God he sucks!He can speak hours of complete shit without a pause.
and.. blazzwhizz71 is a most satisfied 'youtuber' when I gently steep my balls in his mouth to make him shut up. Man you sound like a racist! I just have never liked the guy and I don't give a damn what color he is.He's a pompous self absorbed ass.I'm not on here screaming N&%$#r like everyone else...
Ah, u are fantasizing about gently placing your balls in another man's mouth and you feel that that 2 b normal heterosexual behavior? For the sake of argument, lets assume you did call me the n-word-that does not affect who I am or where I live or my yearly income or the educational achievements on my wall-that word does not define me. You do not define me, sir/ma'am. This man is intelligent and well versed on several subject matters. So, if it would make u feel better-call me what u will.
I think the code switching Dyson takes part in is interesting; the way he speaks in front of a white audience compared to a black audience is different.
another blind brotha. obama aint done nuthin but lie his ass off. black folk think cause obama looks like them he has their best interest. behind all the smiles and dancing and hugs lyes a radical socialist
I know this is completely off topic, but I am so in love w/ Michael Eric Dyson and his mind! Please, Lord, help me find a man like this! So smart! So wise!
yup must be bad when you cant understand english language, but if you only have 5 dollars worth of sense I'll let you borrow 15 dollars, then maybe you will get it :)
you wish to speak as articulately and as charismatically as this "nigger". but you're nothing more then a worthless, dip chewing, overalls wearing (same pair everyday) redneck piece of trash with no education. and so you come on here to express your jealousy of mr dyson because you know he has more intelligence in his finger then you have in your whole body. LMFAO. worthless trailer park trash.
All I heard for 6 minutes was a pseudo-intellectual dancing around the English language, and inciting caterwauls from a sheepish crowd deep in a state of nescience.
Michael Eric Dyson is nothing more than a bombastic circular speaker, spewing the same trite, race-baiting, polarizing, liberal rhetoric that is common place in American politics today.
I find it laughable that this man calls himself a Christian minister, but openly admits to supporting a woman who supports abortion (Ginsberg).
His commentary was actually more a response to "trite, race baiting, polarizing" rhetoric of that moment. He said it himself that then Senators Clinton and Obama be rooted in what society's perceptions are about them while not being defined by these perceptions. As far as him playing to the crowd, all he did was speak in common language that all present would understand. To paint him as some charlatan ("pseudo-intellectual...bombastic, circular speaker") is misguided to say the least.
I stand by my initial comment. I am not impressed by someone who bombastically dances around the English language. I have a wide vocabulary myself, and it just doesn't impress me, which evidently, is different to most people viewing this video. What does impress me is substance, and Mr. Dyson didn't have much...much like his President -- Obama.
It might be that the substance of his commentary is lost to you through the sparks and smoke of the rather vigorous grinding of that "conservative" axe of yours. I got his message and it resonated. I also appreciated his humor throughout. As far as President Obama...well...he has thus far practiced what he has preached in as much as he is able given the signifigant tasks before him and is tackling all of it with urgency. In short: He's doing what he was hired to do.
No, he was hired because he presented himself as someone who is uniquely positioned to get America out of the economic rut that Liberal policies have left us in, but rather, what he is doing is promoting the same failed policies that got us into this mess, only at a greater degree, which could forever bankrupt this great nation.
Besides, he "calls himself a Christian minister" because he is actually ordained as a Baptist minister (whom has been pastor and even taught at Chicago Theological Seminary). Furthermore, his "support" for Bader-Ginsberg was compared to his lack of support for Clarence Thomas (which many presume simply because he's Black). One can support a candidate although they embrace some things that one disagrees with. There are always trade offs in political choices...always. Abortion is a choice.
So because he is an ordained minister means he actually has the call of God on his life? Wake up! Because you read a degree in Divinity or Theology doesn't make you a Christian that preacher that is anointed of God to preach.
As for Clarence Thomas, his principles are in line with the bible, whereas any objective person will tell you that Ginsberg's are not. So supporting evil over good means that he is a wicked man.
Well, for you, I or anyone in the natural world to determine or attempt to quantify what a person's calling is to preach is borderline blasphemous in and of itself. A christian's most profound mission is to be Christ-like...which includes spreading the good news of the gospel through scripture. This he has done as a pastor. Oh, and Clarence Thomas' principles are in question largely due to his highly publicized propensity toward sexual lewdness. Just ask Anita Hill.
Did I attempt to quantify his calling, or did I say that because he has a doctorate in Divinity doesn't mean he is anointed of God to preach? Please read before you make your faulty arguments.
The Anita Hill case was a non starter and based on next to no evidence -- but sure, you liberals want to keep harping on about it, because that's all you've got. But let's talk about your beloved President Clinton who RAPED a woman while Gov of Arkansas, and unquestionably had oral sex with Lewinsky...
Yes you did...and I quote: "So because he is an ordained minister means he actually has the call of God on his life? Wake up! Because you read a degree in Divinity or Theology doesn't make you a Christian that preacher that is anointed of God to preach."
Oh and the Clinton Clan is not so "beloved" as you imply. Given the fact that at the time he was THE only democratic president since Carter, he was supported along party lines. Period.
You may find his relative support for Bader-Ginsberg "laughable," but he (as a HIGHLY educated person of faith) has most likely considered his support carefully, particularly as it concerns his faith. I actually find it laughable that many so-called "christians" embrace extremist veiwpoints as patriotism, when it is nothing more than xenophobia in disguise. Those who truly examine the nature of Yeshua Ben Yosef (Jesus) will see that he was more a progressive than anything else.
I don't care if he has considered his support for that murderous witch -- Ginsberg -- carefully. He hasn't put her policies up against the Word of God that he claims to be a preacher of. If being an extremist means not believing in abortion, gay-marriage, and believing in the principles promoted in the Word of God, then I am proud to be one.
Jesus was NOT a progressive, Jesus was a conservative. Jesus would NOT support a woman's right to choose, or gay marriage.
Jesus had a female apostle (Mary Magdalene) which would be a scriptural example of feminism. Jesus defied the traditions of the church of the day (seen largely as heretical by the conservative rabbinical elites). Jesus was a political prisoner, sentenced to death for defiance of the laws of the Roman Empire. I humbly submit that it is blasphemous for you or I to state with authority what Jesus would or would not do. I would leave that to his Father. LOL
Mary Magdalene was NOT a chosen apostle recorded in scripture, but even if she was, how would that mean that Jesus would support the murdering of 11 million black babies, as is being done today by Planned Parenthood, and supported by that emissary of the devil -- Barack Hussein Obama?
I never implied that Jesus would support abortion, but he actually did support putting children to death in scripture for little more than rebelliousness. So, if we are to accept that human life begins from conception, killing of any child would be wrong, whether it be "in utero" or teenaged.
Such anti-establishmentarianism is hardly the mark of a conservative. To quote a favorite song of mine, "If Jesus were alive today, he'd be incarcerated with the rest of the brothers..."
The nature of Yeshua Ben Yosef's life and calling was one of resistance, non-conformity and revolution, which is very much progressive.
Oh...and I read the Bible. I simply read it with a different perspective. That's what's so beautiful about it.
Yes, you read it without revelation from the true and living Spirit of God.
Only someone who doesn't have the Spirit of God explaining the Word of God to them will say that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is akin to the Progressives of today.
Well, I read it critically as a book of fact, history, literature and allegory. I also read it in relation to the historical, socio-political and geo-political narrative of the periods it covers. One has to in order to truly derive value from it, outside of the fact that classical christian thought sees challenging any aspect of scripture from a non-religious perspective as something akin to blasphemy.
Precisely...you read the scripture from a carnal point of view, and then want to speak authoritatively on its doctrines...when you get revelation from the true and living Spirit of God, then come back to me, until then, keep your mouth zipped on issues you know nothing about.
If you believe you've experienced divine revelation, I can't argue that. I will humbly submit that it was indeed my journey in faith that led me to question what is seen as the ultimate and unquestionable truth. As the truth can always be questioned, I asked questions as a layman would and researched accordingly. Now, I would think that as a person living in the word you would welcome a chance to teach. Instead you speak with arrogance and hostility. Okay...zipping now. LOL
To insinuate that the God would condone abortion, partial-birth abortion, gay marriage, stem-cell research, generational theft through irresponsible government spending on entitlement programs, the removal of God and prayer from schools, the lack of Christianity used to guide public policy, and the teaching of evolution over intelligent design and creationism is laughable at best, and unforgivably blasphemous at worst.
To call Jesus a "Liberal" is tantamount to saying God promotes wickedness.
I never called Jesus a "Liberal." I said that the true nature of who he was was progressive. I also never insinuated that God would condone any of what you mentioned, as public policy and religious dogma do not mix. You also mention a lack of Christianity in all these venues. Why is there no mention from you of any other spiritual education besides Christianity? Basic education should be secular. Spiritual guidance should stay at home and at places of worship in my opinion.
Dogma of any sort is absolute by definition, and does not allow for any deviation from what is right and wrong according to whatever it's canonical teachings dictate. Anytime in history that religious dogma has dictated public policy, segments of the public in question go unserved and opressed-particularly when they question the leaders whom are charged with administering said policies. This is the climate which produces extremism and xenophobia.
i agree!.he speaks the truth all the time.he should get his own on cable because some shows are boring now.but i look at keith,rachael,chris and ed on msnbc but i wished he had his own show on tv.
I LOVE MICHAEL ERIC DYSON!!!!!!!!!! He tells it like it is!!!!!!!!! All people on here knocking what he said...."STOP PLAYA HATIN ON NEGROS!!!" hahahahahah
Also, the argument made in other comments, that blacks will never solve their problems based on coming together in this fashion. Those arguments are specious. It is not surprising that people are using the same arguments that slave owners used 150 years ago. They argued that black slaves would not be able to better their own situations by themselves and in their own ways. Look up Governor Hammond's arguments for slavery. History proves this line of argument wrong.
I'd bet that most people commenting on this video have not experienced the black community in the midst of an internal debate. Dyson is making intelligible arguments based on facts that he is interpreting. He is acting entirely proper. He is using techniques he learned in the black church, he is an ordained baptist minister, to deliver his reasoned and logical arguments in a persuasive way to the black community. Who doesn't tailor their arguments to their audience? Why is that bad?
Wow is right! I see train wrecks like this every once in a while on C-SPAN. There's always a speaker who seems more interested in showing how "edumacated" they are by trying to use big words with no substance, and performing a comedy routine for the audience. Eventually they get carried away and start to coon and buffoon like the "Dr." does at 4:50. This is followed by wild cheers and the tribal "uh huh's" and "amens" from the audience. It will be the same next year after solving nothing.

You have the luxury of saying this garbage because Barack has been the first NON-WHITE CANDIDATE in history to win the primaries and actually become able to be voted on. If we all just voted for him because he was black, what about the Asians, Latinos, oh and the WHITE PEOPLE that voted for him? Are all those white people all voting for him because he's black too?
You are completely incompetent, ignorant, and deluded. Take off that confederate flag t-shirt and get in school.

Then, I recall ppl. saying, "if Obama is elected, he won't solve all of the problems in 1,2, or 4 years!" Now, after a 1 1/2 yrs., its, "what happened? I don't see any CHANGE."

@galept I completely disagree. No one would criticize someone who defends the position of Blacks or any of the oppressed. That's not what I said. At all.

I listen for content and an understanding of Human nature.

@StanleyT123 Louis Farrakhan has committed countless controversial actions over the decades, something Dyson has not. I would not have made that comparison. I don't remember talking about his flow either. While Bill Cosby is telling blacks to get themselves together, Dyson is telling him to take into account all the economic and social factors that he says compel lower-income black Americans to have such high rates of crime, teen pregnancy, divorce, etc.

@galept Which I don't disagree with. And it so happens I agree with MOST of what he talks about. I just have a serious problem with this belief in a "system of white supremacy" and the harmful ramifications of this over-simplified belief. It is sadly reinforced among many of our so-called African American leaders and talking heads, and as far as I'm concerned is just a contiuation of racism, perpetuating a one-dimensional view of an entire "race" of People.

you need to learn the difference between the term "racist" and "racial". you may hear a lot of so-called black leaders speak the TRUTH of racial injustice and the plight of black men and women in america and what the solutions to our problems are. but that doesn't make them RACIST. that makes them people who are RACIALLY aware, who are sincerely (or at least appear to be) trying to solve the overwhelming problems facing the black community which were creating by white supremacy. get a clue.

All I heard for 6 minutes was a pseudo-intellectual dancing around the English language, and inciting caterwauls from a sheepish crowd deep in a state of nescience.
Michael Eric Dyson is nothing more than a bombastic circular speaker, spewing the same trite, race-baiting, polarizing, liberal rhetoric that is common place in American politics today.
I find it laughable that this man calls himself a Christian minister, but openly admits to supporting a woman who supports abortion (Ginsberg).
KinglyNumbaOne 2 years ago
His commentary was actually more a response to "trite, race baiting, polarizing" rhetoric of that moment. He said it himself that then Senators Clinton and Obama be rooted in what society's perceptions are about them while not being defined by these perceptions. As far as him playing to the crowd, all he did was speak in common language that all present would understand. To paint him as some charlatan ("pseudo-intellectual...bombastic, circular speaker") is misguided to say the least.

Responding to it, or perpetuating it?
I stand by my initial comment. I am not impressed by someone who bombastically dances around the English language. I have a wide vocabulary myself, and it just doesn't impress me, which evidently, is different to most people viewing this video. What does impress me is substance, and Mr. Dyson didn't have much...much like his President -- Obama.
KinglyNumbaOne 2 years ago
It might be that the substance of his commentary is lost to you through the sparks and smoke of the rather vigorous grinding of that "conservative" axe of yours. I got his message and it resonated. I also appreciated his humor throughout. As far as President Obama...well...he has thus far practiced what he has preached in as much as he is able given the signifigant tasks before him and is tackling all of it with urgency. In short: He's doing what he was hired to do.
BRP1968 2 years ago
No, he was hired because he presented himself as someone who is uniquely positioned to get America out of the economic rut that Liberal policies have left us in, but rather, what he is doing is promoting the same failed policies that got us into this mess, only at a greater degree, which could forever bankrupt this great nation.

Besides, he "calls himself a Christian minister" because he is actually ordained as a Baptist minister (whom has been pastor and even taught at Chicago Theological Seminary). Furthermore, his "support" for Bader-Ginsberg was compared to his lack of support for Clarence Thomas (which many presume simply because he's Black). One can support a candidate although they embrace some things that one disagrees with. There are always trade offs in political choices...always. Abortion is a choice.
BRP1968 2 years ago
So because he is an ordained minister means he actually has the call of God on his life? Wake up! Because you read a degree in Divinity or Theology doesn't make you a Christian that preacher that is anointed of God to preach.
As for Clarence Thomas, his principles are in line with the bible, whereas any objective person will tell you that Ginsberg's are not. So supporting evil over good means that he is a wicked man.
KinglyNumbaOne 2 years ago
Well, for you, I or anyone in the natural world to determine or attempt to quantify what a person's calling is to preach is borderline blasphemous in and of itself. A christian's most profound mission is to be Christ-like...which includes spreading the good news of the gospel through scripture. This he has done as a pastor. Oh, and Clarence Thomas' principles are in question largely due to his highly publicized propensity toward sexual lewdness. Just ask Anita Hill.
BRP1968 2 years ago
Did I attempt to quantify his calling, or did I say that because he has a doctorate in Divinity doesn't mean he is anointed of God to preach? Please read before you make your faulty arguments.
The Anita Hill case was a non starter and based on next to no evidence -- but sure, you liberals want to keep harping on about it, because that's all you've got. But let's talk about your beloved President Clinton who RAPED a woman while Gov of Arkansas, and unquestionably had oral sex with Lewinsky...
KinglyNumbaOne 2 years ago
Yes you did...and I quote: "So because he is an ordained minister means he actually has the call of God on his life? Wake up! Because you read a degree in Divinity or Theology doesn't make you a Christian that preacher that is anointed of God to preach."
Oh and the Clinton Clan is not so "beloved" as you imply. Given the fact that at the time he was THE only democratic president since Carter, he was supported along party lines. Period.
BRP1968 2 years ago
You may find his relative support for Bader-Ginsberg "laughable," but he (as a HIGHLY educated person of faith) has most likely considered his support carefully, particularly as it concerns his faith. I actually find it laughable that many so-called "christians" embrace extremist veiwpoints as patriotism, when it is nothing more than xenophobia in disguise. Those who truly examine the nature of Yeshua Ben Yosef (Jesus) will see that he was more a progressive than anything else.
BRP1968 2 years ago
I don't care if he has considered his support for that murderous witch -- Ginsberg -- carefully. He hasn't put her policies up against the Word of God that he claims to be a preacher of. If being an extremist means not believing in abortion, gay-marriage, and believing in the principles promoted in the Word of God, then I am proud to be one.
Jesus was NOT a progressive, Jesus was a conservative. Jesus would NOT support a woman's right to choose, or gay marriage.
READ YOUR BIBLE.
KinglyNumbaOne 2 years ago
Jesus had a female apostle (Mary Magdalene) which would be a scriptural example of feminism. Jesus defied the traditions of the church of the day (seen largely as heretical by the conservative rabbinical elites). Jesus was a political prisoner, sentenced to death for defiance of the laws of the Roman Empire. I humbly submit that it is blasphemous for you or I to state with authority what Jesus would or would not do. I would leave that to his Father. LOL
BRP1968 2 years ago
Mary Magdalene was NOT a chosen apostle recorded in scripture, but even if she was, how would that mean that Jesus would support the murdering of 11 million black babies, as is being done today by Planned Parenthood, and supported by that emissary of the devil -- Barack Hussein Obama?
KinglyNumbaOne 2 years ago
I never implied that Jesus would support abortion, but he actually did support putting children to death in scripture for little more than rebelliousness. So, if we are to accept that human life begins from conception, killing of any child would be wrong, whether it be "in utero" or teenaged.
BRP1968 2 years ago
Such anti-establishmentarianism is hardly the mark of a conservative. To quote a favorite song of mine, "If Jesus were alive today, he'd be incarcerated with the rest of the brothers..."
The nature of Yeshua Ben Yosef's life and calling was one of resistance, non-conformity and revolution, which is very much progressive.
Oh...and I read the Bible. I simply read it with a different perspective. That's what's so beautiful about it.
BRP1968 2 years ago
Yes, you read it without revelation from the true and living Spirit of God.
Only someone who doesn't have the Spirit of God explaining the Word of God to them will say that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is akin to the Progressives of today.
KinglyNumbaOne 2 years ago
Well, I read it critically as a book of fact, history, literature and allegory. I also read it in relation to the historical, socio-political and geo-political narrative of the periods it covers. One has to in order to truly derive value from it, outside of the fact that classical christian thought sees challenging any aspect of scripture from a non-religious perspective as something akin to blasphemy.
BRP1968 2 years ago
Precisely...you read the scripture from a carnal point of view, and then want to speak authoritatively on its doctrines...when you get revelation from the true and living Spirit of God, then come back to me, until then, keep your mouth zipped on issues you know nothing about.
KinglyNumbaOne 2 years ago
If you believe you've experienced divine revelation, I can't argue that. I will humbly submit that it was indeed my journey in faith that led me to question what is seen as the ultimate and unquestionable truth. As the truth can always be questioned, I asked questions as a layman would and researched accordingly. Now, I would think that as a person living in the word you would welcome a chance to teach. Instead you speak with arrogance and hostility. Okay...zipping now. LOL
BRP1968 2 years ago
To insinuate that the God would condone abortion, partial-birth abortion, gay marriage, stem-cell research, generational theft through irresponsible government spending on entitlement programs, the removal of God and prayer from schools, the lack of Christianity used to guide public policy, and the teaching of evolution over intelligent design and creationism is laughable at best, and unforgivably blasphemous at worst.
To call Jesus a "Liberal" is tantamount to saying God promotes wickedness.
KinglyNumbaOne 2 years ago
I never called Jesus a "Liberal." I said that the true nature of who he was was progressive. I also never insinuated that God would condone any of what you mentioned, as public policy and religious dogma do not mix. You also mention a lack of Christianity in all these venues. Why is there no mention from you of any other spiritual education besides Christianity? Basic education should be secular. Spiritual guidance should stay at home and at places of worship in my opinion.
BRP1968 2 years ago
For you to say that public policy and religious dogma don't mix, is absolutely preposterous.

Dogma of any sort is absolute by definition, and does not allow for any deviation from what is right and wrong according to whatever it's canonical teachings dictate. Anytime in history that religious dogma has dictated public policy, segments of the public in question go unserved and opressed-particularly when they question the leaders whom are charged with administering said policies. This is the climate which produces extremism and xenophobia.

It is not surprising that people are using the same arguments that slave owners used 150 years ago. They argued that black slaves would not be able to better their own situations by themselves and in their own ways. Look up Governor Hammond's arguments for slavery. History proves this line of argument wrong.

I'd bet that most people commenting on this video have not experienced the black community in the midst of an internal debate. Dyson is making intelligible arguments based on facts that he is interpreting. He is acting entirely proper. He is using techniques he learned in the black church, he is an ordained baptist minister, to deliver his reasoned and logical arguments in a persuasive way to the black community. Who doesn't tailor their arguments to their audience? Why is that bad?

Every negro over 30 is a baptist minister, it's a great money making scam in the ghetto, just rent a store front!, and pass the collection plate!

And every one under 30 is an aspiring rapper.

Wow is right! I see train wrecks like this every once in a while on C-SPAN. There's always a speaker who seems more interested in showing how "edumacated" they are by trying to use big words with no substance, and performing a comedy routine for the audience. Eventually they get carried away and start to coon and buffoon like the "Dr." does at 4:50. This is followed by wild cheers and the tribal "uh huh's" and "amens" from the audience. It will be the same next year after solving nothing.
