The idea of post racial America is laughable. More discussions like this please!
replace jessie with Claude anderson at this table.
The late great Dr. Fredrick Sampson of Detroit is looking down and smiling from the balconies of heaven of one his greatest students Dr. Eric Dyson. Keep on telling the truth. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need another round table discussion just like this right about now ......these are all of my favorite religious and political folks ......they really make positive things happen for us all.
@PHEOLA1 I am now finding these videos as well, its a shame i didn't see this when it first aired. I love Tavis Smiley and his forums.
@Volf99 The Black Agenda is not asking for special treatment.... it asking that our ppl be treated equally, Throughout the history of this country blks have never been treated equally and the blk agenda was meant to solve that. Its not about being racist its about caring for the blk community and wanting better for it
Knights of the table, collective thoughts
Funny, at first glance if looks as of only 365 people have watched this program... denoting and demeaning it's significance and relativity... then I tried pulling it up and have been waiting for 30 minutes. Why does it take 5 seconds to get Taylor Swift, 3 sec. for a cat video, and none for an add to sell me things???
Thanks "you tube" for letting me know how much my agenda" counts " to you! But my money SURE does!!! WE had better learn how to play their games
Dyson, consumate articulation... always on point...
@ suchalady91 - YEAH! Where is Dick Gregory? THIS is a very impressvie group of peeps though. I'm so effen proud.
I know they did this a while back, and it's cool that they did. But if your going to do something of this nature, don't do it in public with your opposers watching.
Not if you are not afraid to look inside of yourself.
@ChristiansMustLearn Dr. Claude Anderson should've been there!
Tell me Something Good, Tell me that you Love me!!
@MrSherod1 Why don't you round up your crew and get busy!!! Older people still puttin in work while young folks are watching MTV and LeBron James...Go get em!
Yo i know dis might sound weird but i just wrote all these activist names down so i could do some research and try my best to get involved with increasing my knowledge as a young man but as a young man the first place i started was online anybody no of any websites
When we fall to our knees and repent and cry out in one voice to our God Yah , the Creator of Heaven and Earth, and turn from our wicked ways then will Yah our God hear from Heaven deliver us, restore us, bring us back to our own place in The Promise Land of Israel. And yes, He will also heal our land. He will and He is ready to rid our Land of all its enemies that we may live in the assurance of peace and safety within our own borders.
My comprehensive response here
@Thelookoutslookout Tavis is one! 4 sure
@Volf99 - I don't think it's necessarily "racist". I think that the thing we are being denied thanks to the Marxists' influence everywhere is the appreciation and acceptance of the right to be who you are, whether group or individual; the Marxists are looking ultimately for a blend of some kind. Is it racist to NOT wish to "blend"? To wish to preserve one's own precious roots & culture? One's own psychology, traditions; and the right to develop these on one's own terms? I don't think so.
Obama ABSOLUTELY MUST make guarantees for substantive,consequential agreements benefiting the interests of the black community. He needs to expand govt backed lending to start-up & small businesses, increase workplace anti-discrimination/anti-racism enforcement. Require private corporations doing business with the fed govt.to implement effective policies to recruit, train & advance black/minority employees at ALL levels(similarly, eliminate tax breaks for companies who down-size & outsource).
For some reason the Folks sat around the Table dont' actually look like they are in that hall nor do they sound like they are....did anybody watching go to this Talk?
They would find out anyway and at least us a viewers can see what is actually been said and proposed and if it was hidden and the media got word of it; they could taint it and demonize it, we would probably believe the media. At least we see it all and we understand where we stand and what we should do to, yes the leaders have to do their part, but every man and woman can become a leader to assist their community and black people as a whole
Excluding no one of African Ancestry. Lest we work against our own selves. It is that notion which is readily, by gang or tribe, perpetrated against us upon our selves by the Irish and the Germans, who themselves volunteered to come to America because they did not like a part of themselves, other Germans and other Irish.The Irish and the Germans first fought against each other, broke and poor. They decided to come together as a minority+minority makes a majority.We are 1 African Ancestry!
@Volf99 - I think it's very difficult for people to live together; I think that the solution exemplified in Canada in 1867 was federalism. But that solution fades when the groups fan out onto each other's territory, and again psychology, ideas, roots, begin to conflict. I don't think the solution is a blend. I think the solution is some kind of constitutional compact between the types of mentality and of culture; plus tolerance; breathing space is absolutely essential to mutual peace.
@rashawndye - Is it a "white" "agenda" or was it a culturally and psychologically appropriate agenda for the founding peoples of the USA? Perhaps not all peoples now living in America share that culture & mentality, and therefore America is split, no longer what it was founded to be. Is it alright to deprive one culture (possibly attached to one race or group of related races) of their roots, form of government, psychology & mentality, by forcing it into a different agenda?
Where is Adolph Reed????
Where is Larry Elder?
I don't know about that. Doing this publicly allows blind followers who otherwise would continue in their blind following of Obama, to hear and see the truth regarding his policies as they relate to minorities and whether or not he has lived up to his campaign promises. This public forum (while discrediting him in some ways) exposes Obama's negligence and apparent fear in addressing or aligning himself with anything considered Black.
Thank you for posting this wonderful minstrel show!
We as a whole need to stop saying what were going to do and do it! President Barack Obama is not god he the President OF THE UNITED STATES. Not Black people, we expect for him to help us. Obama is a step we needed to take. Now it's up to US to continue.
@intelligenceagent1 how silly.
Jesse is as important to this discussion as is everyone else.
The key is education! Get tired of watching a bunch of intellectuals say the same thing over and over.
Leave your religion out of this discussion please...

check out madvoodooman on you tube.
I like Dyson, but, sadly, he is regularly, off-base & mistaken on this issue of the Bible &slavery. He is sorely & grossly in error when he asserts that the BIBLE sanctions and condones slavery. As a black baptist minister his position is even more astounding, absurd and ironic Why would any slave descendent rationally want to adhere to an inhuman, wicked, evil, vile, un-spiritual system of theology which justifies the chattel servitude of men, women and children. Dyson is WRONG here
protect the brother-OUR BARACK OBAMA, that should be priority. once united no one or nothing will dither us. please stop being selfish and give love and unity priority.
For all thease so called black leaders talking about this and talking about that. what they need to do is look at all the black self hate on you tube and you tell me what the black agenda is. i agree with dynastyQg9 and feedbrainlunch what the black commuity need is something like the autyority the black autyority THAT IS.
@future305 obviously, you don't know enough about King to comment. He had grown weary of his actions for integration and started organizing for poor people. Guess who would be at the head of that list? Blacks. He himself (as well as these who you hear speaking) were well off. That was not enough for him. And still today, it is not enough. To look at the few wealthy, but not looking at the large number of AA who don't have would be a disgrace to King and his legacy.
WHY IS EVERYONE ON SHOWS LIKE THIS OUR 40. I'm tired of older people always talking. Where are the young warriors at
Release all of them from this table!!! These people have sooooo much hate inside them that it's unbelievable!!
