    first of all, if you are going to complain about someone standing up for black people…etc…loyalty towards blacks…why don’t you change your name to an African name…YOU STILL carry the name of your slave masters…so you are the last person I will come to for advice on race relations…Barack Obama…is a black name…
    second…there are 3 branches of government…reason: checks and balances…the President doesn’t run the country…he is a member of the executive branch which “executes” the law…the judicial branch “interprets” the law..and the legislative branch “creates/passes” laws…now you tell me…idiot Dyson, If I want to get my bill passed..do you think I am going to get it passed calling all white people racist and honkeys? NO…dumb ass it is called playing the game..he is doing exactly what he said he will do..but he had to make compromises as he doesn’t create laws…and if he vetoes…congress can still pass a law…so that’s the power of a 3 branch checks and balance system….He is where blacks want him to be…now he is going to do things you are not going to like…he can’t please everyone..so shut the f**k up…and pay attention…history is still being made…get rid of your slave name nigga

    you can’t take out the slave master yelling racism…and throwing rocks from the outside….you take out the slave master by becoming the house negro..playing the game..giving vital information like books etc to your slave brothers…give them the good clothes and food when master is not looking…then when you tuck the master in at night…you slit his throat…

    Just a little over half way through the video, I simply could not bear to listen to anymore. It is sickening to listen to so called famous black leaders, artists, speakers, etc. that fall into the old age trap of “divide and conquer,” that our white slave masters and counterparts have implemented and forced upon us from days old. The only difference about present day society is the fact they are no longer in a position to force it upon us. Have we become so smart, famous and liberated that we subject ourselves to becoming enslaved by this same principle to utilize it against ourselves and The First Black President of the United States under the guise of seeking racial equality for African Americans? Quite the contrary. What I see is people such as Mr. Dyson and others who are suddenly quite vocal about the “President’s treatment of race and Blacks now that Obama is in office, versus during the Bush and other white presidential offices. Their quest seems for them to gain equal spotlight, but their credentials, passion and effort to help blacks and any other americans does not come close to comparing with President Obama’s. In seeking self gratification and support of people for their own personal vain glory, they continue to support the white people who are against Blacks and support the division versus unity. Last point, but not the least significant is the question of how Mr Dyson and others would feel and what would be their comments if Previous White Presidents addressed the White Race per se over the American government and society, because they were white first and supported my white people? I don’t know and I’m not getting it. I guess I just figured that a lot of these so called renowned people such as Mr. Dyson, to name one, were brighter than they are displaying, should have a more intuitive understanding of the role diplomacy and careful thinking and strategy plays and also should know by now that some of the best manifestations are for a period of time the best kept secrets! By the way? Whatever happened to “The Spook Who Sat By the Door?” LOL Peace

    Eric Dyson is retarded

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MagicMulattobaby/ MagicMulattobaby

    Eric Dyson is not black he is really a fake black his really multiraial preson.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Gingerd2008/ Gingerd2008

    Barack is a multi-racial person too… what do you think those white boys think of him when he is alone in a room with them? We as a people have so much work to do… MagicMulattobaby – your response leaves much to be desired. What his is speaking to is the betterment of his people, regardless to whether or not you agree with what he says. If you are going to respond, use intelligence not ignorance… after all, most blacks in the country are no longer full blooded blacks. So much rape and breeding took place during slavery… be intelligent when you speak, because when you are ignorant you get treated that way.

    Dyson is right!

    Michael Eric Dyson is the new face of Black intellectuals, the new face of the Civil Rights movement, the new face of anti poverty, social justice in America, and particularly Black America. He is so right about not giving Obama a pass. If we do, we do so at our own peril. I’m a part of the Democratic Progressive Movement, and we all believe the same Black and White. Dyson is so deep some of you can’t grasp his knowledge. You like to here yourself talking with your pseudo intellectualism. There’s a saying, ” A mind is a terrible thing to waste”. A mind is a terrible thing to develop on your own also. Those of you who watched In Living Color back in the day know what I’m talking about.

    YrWriter do some reading, check your facts and come back here and explain how Barrack Obama is a Black name. As for slave names, it sounds like your mind is enslaved.

    Dyson was famous before Barrack Obama and will be famous when Barrack is off the scene.

    As usual, there is a lot of substance to what Dr. Dyson is saying, essentially that we need to hold President Obama accountable. The analogy that was used regarding the hospital patient who has cancer was brilliant. President Obama does need a prescription for each community, in particular the community that is suffering the most, the Black community. The honeymoon is over. And I say that acknowledging all that is on President Obama’s plate. Black folks have to be willing to say unapologetically now is the time for deliberate action with the intent of realizing Dr. King’s dream of economic equality and President Obama needs to put forth some policy that will enable some victories for Blacks who are ultimately, as Dr. Dyson commented are responsible for him being in office.

    I agree with Dyson to a certain extent but as the case for many people he is not very educated in the history of America. If he was, then he would have known from the jump that goverment diplomacy dont reach the poor. Not now anyway. What do i mean? He critisized lincoln but in atuality lincoln was the last true president in terms of control and power (pre-federal reserve)and if he had a predecessor who was equally courages to buck against the system it would be JFK, but Obama? Please. People must understand that obama like every president before him is a politian first, with the exception of MCKINLEY, HARDING, LINCOLN, KENNEDY, ALL THESE PRESIDENTS WERE ASSASINATED. When a president takes office he has a choice, sell your soul to the system, or buck the system. Obama isn’t the first to sell his soul to these people and he wont be the last. I hear people talking about divide and conquer, and hes the first black president and we should support him, NO WE SHOULD SUPPORT JUSTICE NO MATTER WHAT COLOR, WHAT BETTER WAY TO FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE THAN TO HUSH THE CRIES OF THE OPPRESSED, WHICH JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE BLACK PEOPLE. People are so quick to accept shiiit because we have a black president (or think he is black) and all of a sudden all is good, well what has changed? I still see crooked ass cops harassing our people. i still see drugs in our neiborhoods when i know they have the power to stop it. DONT GET IT TWISTED WHITE PEOPLE DIDNT VOTE FOR A BLACK PRESIDENT, THEY VOTED FOR A POLITICIAN AND A LIGHTSKINNED MIXED MAN. BUT THE REST OF US IS STILL N****RS TO THEM. YOU DONT BELIEVE ME, GO TO A BANK AND TRY AND GET A LOAN, OR TAKE A LATE NIGHT STROLL IN AN ALL WHITE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SEE HOW MUCH OBAMA MATTERS THEN. FOR ALL YOU BAN-WAGON JUMPERS DO YOUR HISTORY BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTHS, YOUR IGNORANCE OFFENDS ME, AND KILLS YOUR BROTHERS. YEA YOU MADE IT OUT THE HOOD AND THATS COMMENDABLE, BUT DONT BE ASHAMED TO SAY SHIIT IS STILL MESSED UP JUST BECAUSE YOUR WHITE FRIENDS ARE RUNNING THE OBAMA GUILT TRIP. STAND UP FOR YOUR PEOPLE.

    Obama avoided black people and black issues like the plague during his presidential run. I didn’t support him because of that and his inexperience
    in government. Obama is now doing as President what he did when it comes to black people and black issues. Looking the other way, I didn’t expect anything different. We should receive some extra attention because of the stats but Obama is shook, scared to look.
