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.”

I was very struck when Min. Farrakhan said if Jesus and Muhammad were here today, they’d be embracing each other. That’s a tremendous message that needs to be heard more broadly.

Not interested in helping BLM.
Nah. I’m more for racist black people for pulling their heads out, acting like a man (not a male) and teaching their kids and family to become productive citizens.
Normal, non racist black people, of whom I have had the pleasure to be be around in a far greater majority than the racist tools, can just keep being you! And we can all get along.
Wise move.
I remember in the military years ago, there were several Yankees who had no racial problems with blacks at all.
One of the southern boys said that before they were discharged the Blacks themselves would teach you to hate them.
We met again a year later and another military base. Those Yankee boys had become the worst racists I have ever seen, actually putting the Southern boys to shame.
I never did find out what changed them, but I did find out it was run-ins with blacks in the military that did it.
Thanks. I’ll get right on it.
I don’t mind the job of saying to white people, “Yes, this is what I think you need to know, this is what I think you’ve been missing.”
And it’s my job to educate white folks every day.

I pay for the food, decorations etc. I helped raise my family to be Christian, Conservative and Conscientious. Each of those tenets will allowed to be addressed at Thanksgiving. Disagreement will be met with disagreement which is not contentious but courteous. We will meet next year. (Each year the disagreements have become more semantics then actual disagreements.) Get in-laws vocabulary books that teach the actual meaning of words as a Christmas Present. Try to Un-brainwash them. Keep Uncle Edgar away from your Grandchildren.
I need to practice up on my eye roll—it is pretty good but it could get better.
According to the number of self hating Whites they are I would say that he is doing a damn good job. I better stop at that.
If I have any (which, sadly, I do), I will certainly not be hanging out with them for Thanksgiving (or anything else).
I always keep a list of the crimes of the left, such as the murdering of 250 million people, starting the majority of the major wars, the enslavement of over a billion people, and the abortion of over a billion unborn children, whenever a leftist starts telling about the wrongs of the West and America.
...and blacks can help by giving the REAL NUMBERS regarding who is killing blacks, to their racist relatives.
Ditto.
Michael Eric Dyson. No doubt a former East German Stasi trained informant.
I don’t have any racist relatives except for liberal relatives and I avoid them. Luckily they are about 2000 miles away.
For example, this morning, somebody brought up Trump’s supposed failings with covid virus, because 500,000 people supposedly died from it.
I informed him that the only way the federal government has any power over the states is through martial law. What this person was telling me is that he desired the imposition of martial law and put troops in the streets to shoot people who are going about their day.
Destroying the family was always on the agenda. This is just another way.
WTF does that even mean?
Do not come to my house and sit at (actually anywhere you can find a seat, try the floor) our buffet.
The Nordic, German, Japanese, Jamaican, Chinese, Puerto Rican, Hispanic, Greek, and Syrian, and Italian contingent will beat your butt for trying to play that game.
In what universe does this fool live? Does he not get it that most families are not entirely caucasian?
