- Dr. Michael Eric Dyson eloquently articulates the on going issue of stereotypes and stigmas of black male identity during the CBC's discussion on the status of black males in American Society. After action discussion concerning the Trayvon Martin verdict.
I watch this speech at least once a week. #Powerful
Till this day
Accurately and particularly put......I'm inspired by the way brother Dyson articulates his words to precisely drive his points home man 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤🖤💚💯
this has got to be the 5th time ive watched this. not only is he right, but his style of delivery and energy is great
Exceptional. He is so well spoken.
Only white bigots get mad in proportion to his eloquence

Sophist
Whoa whoa whoa, why wouldn't he be well-spoken? That is so racist!
"well spoken??! Oh but if a white person said "He's so "well spoken" somehow that's racism". It's bullshit.
He left them totally speachless
because they were looking for their dictionaries.
Truth.
zlistcelebrity lol. Exactly!
Dyson for president.
If you want to know more read the book ; The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander
I am just hearing this speech and it's two years old?
I MEAN PEOPLE ACT LIKE RACISM JUST DISAPPEARED, OR EVAPORATED, OR SOMETHING!!! IT'S STILL HEAR IT HAVE'NT WENT NO WHERE. THEY ARE IN CONGRESS, THE COURTS,POLICEMAN, AND ETC. THEY ARE MAKING LEGISLATION. THAT'S WHY IT'S SO SYSTEMATIC, IT'S LAW, AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT LEGITIMATE.
Surprised that this speech is nearly three years old. This was a fabulous presentation, (somewhat in the style of "The Minister.")
Dr. Dyson really does make sure he uses every word in the dictionary.
Damn good speech, though.
Amen
***** Look at his discussion/debate about hip hop with Boyce Watkins.
One of the best things I've ever seen but that level of vocabulary will surely miss the bulk of today's hip hop audience so the potency is truly lost in the sauce. Fortunately I was born to a mother who'd slap the taste out of your mouth for even pronouncing a word wrong, much less using improper grammar.
I thank her every day.

: He uses precise language so as to express exactly what he means; and to leave little room for misinterpretation.
A great speech that must be more known.
This is my mentor. I have to sit-down and build with him one day..
Knowledge is power
brilliant man!!!
The Right man for the job. Brother Micheal Eric Dyson.
I agree with Neo Carl comment..Dyson on uses words and phrases to explain something that he could use simple words to gain more understanding and have more impact tho his listeners...I think he uses a dialogue to show off he is educated.
ABSOLUTELY. THEY HATE THE TRUTH!
David Jones I can perfectly understand what he is saying. Problem is that Americans are stupid because of public schools. I'll tell you something. I read that when Abraham Linchon spoke to a crowd, he spoke at a 12th grade level. Even tough most people in the crowd never did formal schooling, and there was a war, they were well read and could easily understand him. During 2000, Al Gore gave his speeches at an 8th grade level. George W at a 7th grade level. what does that say about the quality of public education?
fearhungerpride I went to public schools from kindergarten to 12 grade and graduated in the top 10 in my class... I got a good education....folks with public education have went on to do great things... so public schools are not the problem. Education is not the issue either we got alot of educated folks running around but our issues as a people have not really been changed and have not been properly addressed. Dyson has good intent but I believe he speaks with a main goal of impressing people with his vocabulary & smooth speaking style. It is like he is trying to entertain more than enlighten folks. He uses enticing words of man's wisdom trying to dazzle people with his eloquent speaking. When someone speaks and is real it touches your heart...heartfelt speaking fills our imagination to believe what is right and this in turn changes our actions of how we live.
David Jones
I get that you believe that you got a good education at a public school, but that is not the point. Dysons is pretty clear with his points. The problem is that the average American who goes to a public school would not be able to understand what he is saying because they are on average dumber than they were 150 years ago. America has some of the lowest education scores in the developed world. Read the book "Overschooled but Undereducated" for evidence of that.
The problem is education.
You mentioned that you finished top 10 in your school. Good for you, but what would you rather be, top 10 in one of the worst schools in the world, or middle of the pack in one of the worlds best?
I respect Michael Eric Dyson and his eloquence. However, after he began to support same-sex marriage I had to go back and reevaluate his social theories on race and equality. I found this whole speech contradictory because on the one hand he talks about the Black family and the struggles they face under WHITE SUPREMACY yet he supports that same institution and their agenda to continue to destroy and split the Black family-WOW!
And 7 years later not a thing has got better.
he speak truth
And now for illustration # 2, the bell curve
This man rocks
Back in the 60ies I was a little child ,looking at MLK on TV talking about the same thing. Today is 2019 and we are still talking about the same thing. That tells me we need to do something different, because going to Washington talking to the oppressor about being treated fairly is a waste of time. The oppressor only respect money and power and we don't have nether one .
Brilliant
The truth will set you free!!
Respect!
Left me trembling.
You talk that talk brother
Well ask them what was the purpose of them bombing Black Wall Street good people Church going people know criminals no thugs this is what they do ask him can answer that question
dr. dyson. brilliant mind + charismatic speaker.
racist? won't even condescend to dignify with a comment. to be fair, what "lies" has he told on matters of race, socioeconomic disparity and pursuing equal rights for ALL Americans? this isn't Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson blowhards with hot air and fake agendas. I'm all ears for what you "think" you have on Dr. Dyson, lol?
100 Percent true.......
wow what a speaker
Dr. Dyson's brilliance is unmatched. If you want to learn, just listen to him. This man is in there with some real heavyweights and his presence, knowledge and passion had the attention of everyone. More of the realness Dr. Dyson. Finally, let's embrace his words and continue to expose the bigotry and hatred in this country for economic, political and social change.
I think he uses alot of words and phrases that sound good but are not effective for true understanding he fronts with a dialogue to show off that he is educated.
Right on! Brilliance is always misunderstood.
Rick Rock how's that working out for you.
1:05 and 1:43 and 3:34
Sister in the blue is thinking "Go head Dyson!"
lifestraight your all victims, and he's a race pimp.
Mr. Dyson you should run for president
Truth.
I love this speech, but 7:15 was the highlight. I imagine Pac (if he was still alive) as a major activist for social change. it's sad that he never got to see the impact of his words on the lives of his people even today. Someone knew what he would become and made sure that he never got to see it.
Detention is one of the few means of discipline for kids. The behavior is the problem, not the detention. Children need consequences for their bad behaviors.
Rhetorical and analytical genius. Go Dyson! Well-said and addressed. Makes me think.
He is definitely right, but this is only half of the cycle. If hanging on to his words and going about your life in a vindictive manner is all you do then you will never break the cycle.
Interesting coming back to this testimony and it definitely sound like a plea to the congressional black caucus, where that plea was heard by deaf ears by members that have other agendas.
IS their a man of any other color who can speak like my
Brother.
Kerrie Macon he's a race pimp, educated by white liberals.
black n white peoples are bros.So lets make it true..
We could be brothers in Christ.
Rich man, poor man.
Felon or Preacher.
Hoes or Saints.
Through Christ we are all family...if we just believe in him.
Lady in turquoise thinks she is in church. I like how he gets right to the white privilege.
All he did was just proove all the racist in the world right. He turned all those sistas and brothuas into raising the roof and getting wild like it was the Harlem house.
+Matt Biden The fact that you associated a response from the audience as relating to rejoicing at a party is enough to dismiss your contribution on this video with prejudice.
Point
That was embarrassing. Ill never get that 15 minutes back.
Nor the stupidity of that statement...
H~
You should be embarrassed after the mirror image he just showed you lol!!
Try again. This time in English. Thanks.
+dangator97 I won't dignify your remark with a response considering that I spoke in plain ENGLISH. not my problem if you're caucasoid and DUMB!!
Mr Dyson was on piunt
He was a few years off on Mark Zuckerberg..
H~
I applaud Dr. Dyson's articulate presentation. BUT did that speech change the stereo typing towards Black men and women ? Was he preaching to the choir ? I agreed with everything he said. BUT what did it profit ? Well maybe the goal was to awaken the foot soldiers to action. I am a foot soldier I am a elementary school teacher. I am ignited to teach my children to stand strong in their Blackness and their competence.BUT I believe in that same speech he needed to chastise young people for Tryavonning and raising the stock in Arizona Tea and Skittles. Skittles even put out a new brand called the DARK SIDE. WE WILL NEVER GET THE RESPECT WE DESERVE UNTIL WE PULL OUR RESOURCES TOGETHER AND STOP GIVING OUR MONEY TO PEOPLE WHO MOCK OUR TRAGEDY. So much work to be done. Speak on Dr. Dyson. BUT please call the foot soldiers to take immediate action,
You tell'm puddin pop. I'm sure smellin it. And it is stinky.
Scary that you teach our youth your oppressive BS. America has the best chance of overcoming circumstances. Dyson is an embarrassment to the very cause he claims to be aiding. If he's your leader, your in big trouble.
0.Oppressive b.s.?
What is oppressive?
What is oppressive to me is that EVERY TIME a Black person speaks out about ANYTHING he/she is verbally attacked and or demeaned. The idea here is that it is ALWAYS wrong for Black people in particular and minorities in general to ever voice a complaint.
Yetthe same folks who are so upset about us speaking out COMPLAIN BITTERLY THEMSELVES and are QUICKER to play victim than anyone else in America.
Illegal immigration makes them victims. If a Black person complains about being unfairly SHOT by police OR even just "neighborhood watch" then THE WHITE PERSON is the victim.
Black people object to being called n---ers the white people are victims there too.
If a Black person speaks against racism then THEY are the racist and WHITES are the victims.
If Blacks riot you complain.
Blacks protest peacefully you complain. Football player takes a knee you complain. Blacks boycott you complain.
EVERY METHOD of speaking out against injustice is regarded by you as unfair, oppressive, reverse racism etc.
IT'S A JOKE!
NOWADAYS YOU RACISTS SEEM TO HAVE MISPLACED YOUR TESTICLES!
You're too cowardly to just come out and SAY that you hate us.
You might as well. You're not fooling anybody anyway.
And Trump has your back.
So just BE HONEST and admit that you don't like Black people.
Facts are facts 😡
Amen
I can't stand that dude
Lol
I respect his view
I think he is self indulgent and overly precocious
Wow! That line about a U.S. president in the White House being profiled.
Mannnn.... Michael Eric Dyson put white America in there place with this open statement.
lol they don't know what the hell he's talking about and I love it!!!! sometime you have to dumb it down in order for your words to have a significant affect others.
oooooooweeeee
Those bars from pac and jay prove y they are the greatest that was genius
from the comments below i think more people are more concerned with the way he talks then his message...sad day.
also if so many people dont like him why watch him?
True.👍
He has the drug information all wrong.
Too much clapping. Where is the action?
Give it time
Solution= Don't be thugs. Advice from a poor privileged white guy.
What good are these words if at a grass root ground level. We African people don’t demand better of ourselves. How we live and conduct our day to day lives, in our communities. Raising children in this backdrop of gangster, thug, hip hop culture. If your not going to go to the root. All this talking will always be words. How much positive change is occurring for us as a whole behind this talking?….?….?
love that woman in blue
what the people who put up these racist comments don't seem to get is that is What this country will do the lowest of us it will eventually do to us all. Empathy is needed to solve this problem, not sympathy. Empathy... now watch all the bigoted comments from all the people who don't know what empathy means.
That lady in blue been getting on my nerves she been distracting me from Dyson!
She just feeling his energy
Michael. Eric. Dyson should. B a spokesman. For blacks because. He not afraid. Of white. People
He talking to a room full black people 🤔 Where is the white race, thats who need to hear the outstanding messages. Dyson is on point!!! Love the way he articulate.
we dont need them. We really need to learn to mobilize and move in unity.
Like if you still watch this in 2024🎉
Race in America is a touchy subject for whites,because they believe we are suppose to move on and not talk about it;if an issue is not addressed it will continue to plaque everything.jewish people were systematically oppressed and now they own damn near everything,blacks are psychologically damaged because of poor leadership and less father's at home period,raise your kids right and be a great example for them,the problem is (manufactured ignorance) in the black community,talk about the real issue dyson missed a lot of points.
no.. it's bc whites wont be a party to a 'discussion' where the other party says 'here's the rules of this discussion, and if you don;t follow them then you're racist'..
Man i wish there were all whites on that stand too hear his messaege which hes not wrong about.
I'm
All that shit sounds good. But unfortunately none it matters. Just food rasim
All people have a brain, I decide who I like or dislike. I make my
decisions on their actions and deeds. But if this person is black I am a
racist. Kiss my ass. Nothing to do with skin, until you make it that
way.
I tried so hard to enjoy and be informed by this video but the chick behind him on his left side ruined it for me.
lol!!! i said that from the start of this video
oh my lord..i wanted to knocked her head off,,nodding so damn much..smh
+ashley clark are you dumb fucks serious? That's her way of expressing d herself and agreeing. You stupid FUCKS are the dimwits Dr. Dyson were referencing!!
Black people we talk too F'n much No action... BS!!!
ignorant comments from dumb people below... if you disagree with what he is saying please elaborate your disagreement. to points that can be argued then a generalized statement such as " so much bullshit"... wear exactly is this bullshit... I would say he is right on point, but your comments that this is bullshit please what was exactly said that you don't agree with??? or are you just trying to keep people from united??? don't feed into there hate... Love for humanity will set us free...
👏👏
Able to put his audience to sleep with both endless excuses and with his oratory.
How about tell them to clean up their act?
Dyson has always done a disservice to his message, by his blazing speed of delivery. He should focus more on informing and influencing his listeners and less on trying to impress them with his ability to rattle off a bunch of impressive phrases full of $50.00 words, when someone 50 cent words would accomplish the same goal and reach more minds.
BRRRRRAVO!!!!
the problem is....dyson is among the most smug, condescending people i've ever seen....and it makes me not want to listen to anything he says. i dont think he is "less capable, intellectually", i think he is preachy, melodramatic, and....SMUG.
DAN 16000 iTS CALLED A EDUCATED AFRICAN AMERICAN. White people can't handle when a person of color speak with so much intellect they get nervous and they feel dumb like you. Its not bullshit, its talk. You wont understand because you dont know what being a african american is all about!Read moreShow less
JAS CHICAGOBEARS lol....no....smug is smug.....fucking deal with the fact that being AfrAm doesnt give you a pass to be a smug condescending preachy know it all, anymore than being white....smug is smug....period....its called objective reality, look into it sometime.
And by the way i've lived in Africa longer than you or Dyson ever did....and how do you know i'm not black? nice bigoted racist stereotyping.
Understanding! everybody is not gonna have the same outlook. If the black community needs to speak out, YES! it would have to be a person somewhat like Dyson to speak because it wont look right for somebody to speak in front of a congress in an ebonic language fashion.
JAS CHICAGOBEARS lol....no....smug is smug.....fucking deal with the fact that being AfrAm doesnt give you a pass to be a smug condescending preachy know it all, anymore than being white....smug is smug....period....its called objective reality, look into it sometime.
AS USUAL, WHEN SOMEONE'S TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS COUNTRY THEIR DEMONIZED. IF U DON'T LIKE THE TRUTH THEN GO LISTEN TO LARRY ELDERS, OR BEN CARSON. I BET U LIKE THEM DON'T U.
I honestly fell dumber for listening to one of thees videos.
Completely agree. Nothing Dyson has said -- in the handful of clips I've seem -- seems to contain any meaning or practice value. No question this man detests white people.
IT'S CALLED THE TRUTH!!!!!!
I see his mouth moving, I hear words coming out, but I'll be damned if I can tell you what on earth his argument is.
That's because you are DUMB🙄
Waste of time.
No peter it wasnt a waste of time its just that you see something he is talking about in thine self
Mansusama... whatever the hell... I'm so tired of hearing about discrimination! There is a division amongst classes; quit feeling sorry for yourselves and don't acknowledge this so called "racism." I happen to be homeless, my clothes aren't always pressed or ironed. I catch some looks from people that I don't like but I choose not to acknowledge them. Would my homelessness affect my getting hired by some managers? I.e., would I not be hired because of the way I look? YES! But nobody's beating me just like nobody's injuring you because you're black. Accept who you are. Accept that everybody isn't gonna like you or how you look in this world. But don't whine about it being racist. Whah whah whah...
I bet if I told him " make your point and you have 2 minutes" either his head would explode or his mouth would hang open in silence.
lol where da white folks at??
we right here BRO
JESUS WEPT. LOL if you believe in that sort of thing....
He loves to hear himself talk, look at me I can use big words and then say ain't so everyone knows I can shuck and jive like the other brothers. Too much hate from this guy
WHAT IS DYSON SAYING, BIG WORDS AND EMPTY IDEAS. VOCABULARY CLOWN.
Professional Victims
Ben Shapiro would destroy this dude.
What crap!
Liar Liar pants on fire. Move on Dyson.
