The Rev. Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, a professor of African American and Diaspora Studies and Ethics and Society at Vanderbilt University, gave a sermon on Sunday at the National Cathedral, on the eve of the Martin Luther King Jr. national holiday, slamming America for its false claim of exceptionalism, which he said is actually worship of white supremacy.
Selected portions of the lengthy sermon, framed as what St. Paul would say to a racist America, included reaction to the attack on the U.S. Capitol that included President Donald Trump supporters:
In the wake of this carnage, many citizens claimed that what occurred at the Capitol is not America. The sad truth is that, for many people, this is the only America they know. An America that spills blood in the name of misguided patriotism. An America willing to avert its eyes from truth in the glare of baseless conspiracy. An America that worships at the altar of the Second Amendment while making an idol of weapons and betraying the Second Commandment. An America that spews disgust at the dark foreigner and harbors hatred for the brown immigrant. An America that despises as enemies those who cry out that Black Lives Matter, while waving the traitorous banner of Confederate bigotry. This is America and has been America since America became America.

He’s not a preacher...and definitely not a man of God
Careful Michael. God will repay.
He is one that sows division
That is why people from all over the planet show up here for freedom: they want some of that “white supremacy.”
They must have focus grouped “white supremacy” cause nazi wasn’t working for the DNC... especially with all the blatant anti semites and socialists the democrats have like the old nazis where their ideology might be a little to close to home
People who point at everything as white supremacy are lazy. So lazy.
“...He’s not a preacher...and definitely not a man of God....”
Many act the part, but few are actually called.......
“Professor”, “University”.....nough said.
A liar, a traitor and a sower of discord . Satan’s Trifecta.
But, but, but... we've been told that slaves built America. If true, then "slamming America for its false claim of exceptionalism" is actually slamming the handiwork of those slaves?
So which is is, dear Woke Revrund?
Whites built America and thus talk of American Exceptionalism is worship of white supremacy, or Slaves built America and talk of American Exceptionalism is worship of Black supremacy, or Americans built America and talk of American Exceptionalism is praise for American supremacy?
Hmmmm?
Nah. That'd be racist.
And these idiots wonder why church attendance has declined.
Only the crazy libs will listen to that stuff and very few of them are church goers.
In short, he is driving away the very people a church needs.
America’s new national gospel, preached from the National Cathedral. Sounds about right.
Yeah Dyson, people like you would have us all destitute, starving, and addicted to drugs. You know, kinda’ the polar opposite of American exceptionalism?
He’s quite the racist, isn’t he?
Meanwhile, back in the hood, how many blacks murdered other blacks this past weekend?
Well, Revrum, here’s the dirty little secret: if it weren’t for ‘white supremacy’ and ‘American exceptionalism’, Homo Sapiens as a species would still be living in huts and roasting dinner over a firepit. In fact, some still are.
I didn’t know he was a Rev.
I don’t consider White’s to be some sort of master race, but
wait just a damned minute.
The Western Civilization is the most advanced society on the
face of the planet.
Western nations are among the most diverse nations on the
planet.
At this moment there are over 165 different languages spoken
in the Los Angeles Unified School district.
Our presidents have been white, but people from all different walks of life have served in the Senate, House, and SCOTUS.
I’m tired of being insulted by people with a third grade grasp
of the United States.
