TEARS WE CANNOT STOP: A Sermon to White America

By Michael Eric Dyson

St. Martin’s Press. 228 pp. $24.99

“Hey, fellow white guys! It’s about to be a new year. And there’s a few things we think you can do a little bit better in 2017.”

Thus began MTV News’s “2017 New Years Resolutions for White Guys,” one of the Internet’s most transcendentally awful experiments in wishful viral-video-making of the past year. In the 88-second clip, various young MTV staffers, spanning multiple ethnicities, proceed to lecture “white guys” for their offenses to liberal identity politics, such as mansplaining, suggesting that all lives matter and saying “woke.” The video grates, both for its pedantic, generalizing message and because it was obviously created with the expectation of countless shares among knowing lefties. Instead, the mockery and backlash was such that MTV took it down less than 48 hours later.

Everywhere on this planet where you see progress,stability,civility and prosperity you see that *white* people are responsible...either directly or indirectly.

How could you have missed the flourishing of post-colonial Africa? Oh, wait... :=)

True——he is like the poor folks who detest the 1% but would loooove to be one of them.

This professor hates himself.

There’s a whole world out there, why stay where the worst people, and the worst injustice, are?

MORE than 80% of the world is NOT white. We are the minority ...

Diversity destroys

Coexistence is a futile quest

How could you have missed the flourishing of post-colonial Africa?

I've traveled the Third World...a number of times.Africa,Asia and South America.I'd be lying if I said I saw a whole lot of "flourishing".However,I did see some hope.Last year we were lucky enough to visit South Africa,specifically to see Kruger National Park.Although it was hundreds of miles from Kruger we chose as our "base" a suburb of Johannesburg called "Sandton".Very nice,very clean,very prosperous.Think upscale Southern California:a Rolls/Bentley/BMW dealership about 100 yards from our hotel.Wikipedia did a writeup on the city calling it "Africa's richest square mile".

Mostly white faces....and it's 20+ years since majority rule.

mansplaining; blackstabbing

I truly hate the concept.
But most of what is good in the world is a product of Western Civilization, and that is a product of white males. We need to end any tolerance for folks who end us or Western Civ.
