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.”

My racist relatives are all liberals.
They really want American struggle sessions.
“First of all, they can operate within their own sphere, within their own comfort zones.”
...thus destroying said “sphere” and “comfort zone”.
Hold to account...that means the “woke” folks get to lecture without any interruptions. Everyone else must just sit there and listen. And any person who disagrees with the lecture in the slightest is a racist.
A free exchange of ideas is not what these folks are going for.
The White People in my extended family are a little rough. The best they can do to comply with the good professors orders is to hire in a group of black hookers for Thanksgiving dinner.
But then what will make thanksgiving a special night?
When dealing with leftists, I always point out the crimes of the left.
Well ‘m.e.d.’ can help by KMA! Kin folks fought for the union side during the civil kerfuffle. Seems like I might be in line for some pay back. JS.
Leave it to Dyson to do something truly sucky.
I hate auto correct. Mortality.
Save you a seat, Michael Fat Bug-Eye.
“The consequences of whiteness are particularly lethal right now. And the ignorance about it, especially on the part of white people themselves, makes them unavoidably complicit in a system that has to be unmasked, unveiled, undressed in order to be reformed or destroyed.”
Michael Eric Dyson
Don’t care about race issues anymore. They have pissed away their goodwill with their un-American behavior and pushing for a communist revolution.
Anyone brings this up at my house, they are out the door.
> My racist relatives are all liberals. <
The saying “The first person who brings up race is the racist.” is a pretty good rule of thumb. And yep, it’s almost always the liberals.
I thought lefties didn’t celebrate the racist Thanksgiving holiday.
Who the hell wants to help BLM hate on America and white people while buying mansions with the money they steal??
Black People Can Help Civilization by Holding Racist and Criminal Relatives ‘to Account’ at Thanksgiving
