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.”

Yep, and we took our little Biden-loving niece, age 33, off our Revocable Trust, NFA trust, and the Family Trust. She gets NOTHING (and doesn't know it).
When Black women came forward this summer with their experiences of sexual assault, it felt like a moment of solidarity and the potential to push forward to create a safer campus for Black women.
Remind me again why I should help a Marxist organization dedicated to Burning, Looting and Mayhem ?
IF I am providing a meal & libations & an attempt at a festive day, I would BANISH ANYONE who brought up any such topic.
You want to insult MY HOSPITALITY???
It will be the VERY LAST time you get any chance to do so.
At the conclusion of the Title IX investigation, Georgetown University informed its student body that Michael Eric Dyson would not be teaching during the 2020 Fall semester. While this definitely brings a small sigh of relief, I can only imagine the fear many students felt when wondering about what would happen after Fall of 2020. The students at Georgetown must’ve felt the same, as on September 15, the Black Survivors Coalition met with the Georgetown Administration. During this meeting, the administration was adamant that this would remain a private matter and they would not be sharing further information. The following day, it was announced Michael Eric Dyson would not be teaching during the Spring semester.
The accusation of Michael Eric Dyson committing sexual misconduct is public. The announcement of the Title IX investigation is public. Georgetown’s decision to not allow him to teach during the Fall and Spring is public.
But on September 28, 2020, Vanderbilt University made public that they decided to hire Michael Eric Dyson.
Why Vanderbilt University, more importantly, why Vanderbilt University’s African American & Diaspora Studies and Divinity School brought this man to our campus is beyond my comprehension. Why were they so set on bringing a professor accused of sexual misconduct onto our campus? We as a Vanderbilt community just fought through the pain the Derek Mason football team inflicted on our campus. We had to relive the James Franklin infamous rape case of 2013. Now we have to once again find a way to fight against and protect our students from another sexual predator.
My heart truly aches for my Vanderbilt community and for those who survived what Michael Eric Dyson did to them. I question the Vanderbilt Administration for allowing somebody like Michael Eric Dyson to work on our campus and with students. Do they truly care about our safety, or was this done for boosting Vanderbilt’s prestige? Vanderbilt cannot deny what Michael Eric Dyson has been accused of doing. If I, a student, can find out about these atrocities, there is no way their hiring committee could not.

The “professor “ gives instructions.
The “professor” is a racist, white-hating, bigot.
MED is a racist par excellence.
I’ve been watching him a long time.
