[onpointauto]

This is code for "We're afraid of not being the minority in the future" We're afraid that payback is in order. There's nothing a theft hates more than be robbed or having something stolen from him. This is what this guy is basically saying when he says "We're afraid of our future" or "our kids will not have it like my grandparents had it" of course not, cause this is not 1942. This country belong to ALL Americans and we all deserve equal treatment.

[CameronRounder]

3:53 those are some fly kicks

[faap123]

Wow did I just hear this guy say that he interview almost a million people? It that is not a bunch bull....

[Meteorman312]

ever notice how michael usually doesnt start first and dosnt have the last word

just saying, you know plantin seeds lol

[Action2Viewer]

There is a blatant example of how liberal media is grasping for the 'race card' because their argument falls flat. If they don't hear racism they'll hear 'inferred racism". Next it'll be about associating with inferred racist or talking about people that were once perceived to be racist by someone trained to hear racist talk. Free speech is exercised by too many people who don't know how to shut the fuck up. IE Libtards

[guapgueezee]

white americans are hypocrites and american ones are the devil europeans are cool though.. americas are their rejects that were cast off to australia and the new world to live off their hateful lives... for the most part.. sorry but the evidence is so blatant.. and conservatives lost me after all of that.. now i understand fully what blacks are talking about.. i am half myself.. and it sickens and saddens me

[ericbar1984]

"Fear of a Black Planet...". Awesome Public Enemy reference. Dyson owns



[92680BOYD]

what he means is "white people" are finally mad as hell and they are finally in the same we, african americans have been in since this country was established. welcome to our world, white people, and i hope you can deal with it as we have and will continue to do so.

[rayj778]

"fear of a black planet & fear of a black man" of course that would be something to fear, dumb ass tyson. he's the biggest racist on the planet.

[FuckUtube2008]

there's nothing racist about dyson. he's telling the truth and sadly white people like yourself just aren't responsible enough to listen to it. it's obvious that you're the true racist. have a nice day.

[Anakha13]

If calling someone a Nazi or a chimpanzee is a form of racism, then Pres. Bush has been a victim of racism for eight of the last nine years. People like Dyson see racism everywhere. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

The best way to shut a dissenter down, and thus freeing yourself from the bother of dealing with the points being raised, is to demonize them. And the best way to do that, is to play the race card.

[FuckUtube2008]

people like dyson see racism everywhere because that's where it exist: everywhere. it's not like he's some delusional nut-case that's conjuring it up. you're just in denial and are to RACIST to admit to the overt racism of many white people. have a great day.

[Ratul71]

Interviewed a million people? Did you? Really? And because of that we should take your word for it? Frankly I think "You lie"..

[brnsweetness75]

Love Michael Eric Dyson!!! He's not afraid to tell the truth about our society.

[ItsLehcar]

wow seriously? dyson is in denial. they both need to wake up. one says there is no racism in america, the other says it is all racism. there is some racism, but its not that bad. they are both in denial and are seriously biased.

[brnsweetness75]

And how would you know "it's not that bad"? You don't know anything about how often black people exerience racism.

[ItsLehcar]

actually i am black, so yea i do. its not as bad as he's makingit seem. these guys are both making absalute statements. black people need to stop using racism as an excuse for everything and get over themselves.

[brnsweetness75]

Maybe it's not that bad for you, but you can't speak for every black man and woman in america.

[FuckUtube2008]

he never said it's all racism you coon house nigga. he said that there was some racism. pull the white man's dick out your ass and quit defending them all the damn time.

[pro404]

I usually like Dyson's debates but this is just silly. Let me lay it down for you:

1. Americans just dealt with one of the worst presidents ever.

2. A lot of people were hoping that the new president would be different.

3. The new president is not different.

4. As a result, people are angry.

Its that simple.

I'm not one of the tea party people, but it is obvious that they are protesting the bailouts, the fed, and the deficits. The birth certificate nonsense is irrelevant to most people.

[Wormanatti]

Somebody thumbed you down. Though I agree with you. Things are the same. Just a new face on the same agenda. The Eliteist run things & always have. The bailout was a joke. People still lost their jobs. Which means less money got back into the economy. The goverment seems to be more concern with gay agendas than fixing the financial mess they created. People better wake up. Obama is no savior. He's more fluff than substance. This mess we're in is apart of the grand design. Politics are a joke.

[Anakha13]

The "birther" thing is a tiny fringe element certain folks are focusing on in an attempt to paint, and thus demonize, all of the dissenters. Same with the race card. Are there people opposing the President because of race? I'm sure there are, just as there are those who support him because of race.

[todnyc]

Frank Luntz is a piece of shit.

[lower9grl]

Americans are disingenuous about race;whites perpetuate racism in a clandestine way while accusing blacks of playing the race card. Remember the stereotypical 'humor' leveled at Obama (his image on a food stamp surrounded by "soul" food,the ditty Barack the Magic Negro & on & on); Visit a conservative blog lately?The N word is just the tip of the iceberg-hateful stuff. Keep it up; meanwhile Mexico called and they want THEIR (portion of the) country back and theyre on their way to reclaim it!

[ItsLehcar]

the black guy made me laugh so hard hes so stupid haha!

[kingofrnb]

When you've never been a victim of any racism, it's easy to say that none exists.

[ceeIoc]

Dyson shuts them down again!

[todnyc]

preach

[squidnice]

Thanks Darren. Well Said.

[darrenbeneby]

Dyson's most poignant point continues to go over white folks' heads: You can't ask the abuser to verify whether an abuse exists. Many whites and, at times, dillusional blacks are very blind to existence of the racially hostile climate of Amerikkka. Only individuals who are courageous and informed acknowledge the existence of the racially infused opposition to Barack Obama that exists in this country.

[todnyc]

excellent point

[djam91]

and the fact that you think it goes over our heads isn't a racist comment?like hes smarter then all of us. let me tell you this mr. dyson is smart but he uses his talents in the wrong way to fuel hatred for whites and sell his books. the smartest among us arent using this kind of racial rhetoric even though they could they are using thier brains for something more constructive.

[FuckUtube2008]

it's not racist if it's the truth. the majority of the white population continue to claim that there's no racism even though there is. that's the evidence that what dyson says "goes over your head". maybe if you pulled your head out of your ass you would be able to think clearly enough to understand what dyson is talking about.

[djam91]

I never said there wasn't white racism. but my head isn't up my ass. dyson goes further than pointing out white racism, he spews black racism. and hes a college professor that is so biassed towards the color he sees in the mirror he would make hitler proud

[FuckUtube2008]

do you have any idea how absurd you sound comparing dyson to a man that baked human beings in ovens? hitler blatantly said he hated jews and wanted to remove them from the face of the earth. i don't remember ever hearing dyson saying that he hated it white people and wanted to wipe them off the face of the earth. in fact, he often refers to whites as "brothers and sisters". this tactic of classifying black intellectuals that are critical of white supremacy as demagogues is becoming very old.

[djam91]

do you have any idea how absurd your page is with all of the booty shake videos. and I don't need a history lesson on hitler, dyson's racism is more suttle,obviously he didn't say wipe us off the face of the planet that other college professor did.he does want to be MORE than equal look everyone is biased to a point ,but this guy is a well respected college professor and his words have power.he goes way over the top and alot of white people are sick of it. he fuels white resentment

[themou2008]

Dyson is a loser. Even the Pres. Agrees with Luntz that people are angry with his policies,not his race. Drop it Dyson and Carter

[themou2008]

It almost seems the black community wants it to be about race. Dyson is the one who keeps bringing it up. Luntz seems to be more inclusive..."everybodies mad"

[ItsLehcar]

yea i agree. dyson is an idiot for saying it's all about race, and luntz is an idiot for denying racial problems at all. it's a combination of what he said about wallstreet, and america not being ready. dyson is taking it wayyy over the top. he's racist himself. there is definatley some ignorance in both of these men, but more ignorance in Dyson hahaha!

[FuckUtube2008]

coons like you make me sick. i really wish i could just kill you. you absolutely disgust me. everything dyson said in this video is the gospel truth and it doesn't make him a racist. it makes him a realist. i went to your page and saw that you're most likely a stupid half-breed. which explains why you're so confused. it's clear that you're the one that's racist against what ever percentage of you is black. go kiss some more white ass coon girl.

[sjfmeyers67]

jesus this black guy is racist... get over it... infact i dare to say that there is more racism in the black communites than anywhere...

[FuckUtube2008]

ya anytime a black man tells the truth about white supremacy, RACIST white people like you accuse him of being the racist: classic projection. you can't refute anything he says with any substantive argument, so you take the pussy way out and accuse him of being a bigot. it's people like you that make me realize that despite all the progress we've made in america, we still have a VERY LONG way to go.

[rayj778]

i'm not white buddy, so now go jump on a pogo stick.

[cs5841379]

thats very much true
