Vanderbilt University professor Michael Eric Dyson suggested Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that white people could help the Black Lives Matter movement by holding their racist relatives “to account” at family gatherings such as Thanksgiving.
Dyson said, “There are many things that white brothers and sisters can do. First of all, they can operate within their own sphere, within their own comfort zones. When you go home for Thanksgiving, and you know that there are some nasty viewpoints being expressed and you know that there are some vituperative expressions being made against Black people, you got to hold your family to account.
“Not nastily. Now eat your Thanksgiving first, get the turkey and your stuffing and dressing and your pumpkin pie. But after you consume the beverages and you have frivolity, speak to them in your own circle, not nastily but directly, also at your own place of business. In your own institutions of higher education, are you making sure people studying this as a measure of studying what happened in America as American history? What is the history of race?
“Have interactions with other people of color, with Black and Brown and Asian brothers and sisters. Talk to Indigenous people. You have to have a circle of people who can help you form opinions, direct your own study, satisfy curiosity and then start you on the road toward growth. Read books, read articles, interact with those who know what they’re talking about. These are some of the things that I think you can do to make a difference as a white person concerned about our culture and committed to racial justice.”

That wouldn’t be a good idea.
How can they do it, if all white people are inherently racists?
Good idea. If I have any white relations that support BLM, I will surely call them out on their racist, bigoted and ignorant hate crimes.
(Thankfully, I have no such relations).
What does this nonsense even mean??
Oh...yes BLM. I’m quite certain you’ll be the topic of conversation.
Cult speak.
This is why I cut leftist relatives out of my life.
My family never talked like that. What kind of family does HE come from??
This is getting downright stupid.
Why not just incorporate it into the Festivus “Airing of Grievances”?
The Professor of Douchebaggery.
Welcome to 21st Century America.
How about I lecture and berate my relatives and friends at the dinner table for being Woke Commies and Baby Killers, Mr. Dyson? Ya, freakin’ flake, ya.
Spread the Hate is what Progs do.
They’re as evangelistic as the Jihads, and also wish to convert unbelievers with the edge of a sward, a riot and a poison tongue.
To be a ProgDemCommieMenshavik is to be utterly devoid of the capacity for self-reflection.
Michael Eric Dyson on Betsy Ross Flag Symbolism: ‘Why Don’t We Wear a Swastika for July Fourth?’
>>at family gatherings such as Thanksgiving
Joke’s on him, family gatherings have been eliminated as have all holidays except for the PC ones.
I see that MED is creating racists again out of thin air.
Hey look! Its a systemic idiot!
My brothers and sisters are of an age where we know our own immortality. When a holiday comes along it is something to be cherished.
Do you think Michael Eric Dyson listens to people with alternative view points? Do you think he approaches things with an open mind? I don’t think so. He is too stupid to see it.
