A Conversation with Michael Eric Dyson | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) 

Nice reference

fatmanpedaling I see what you did there! #JP&Dyson

Well played.

6 months later and still no “wow, you’re so racist” reply to this comment. And it’s on a video posted by the actual show’s page. Humanity might have a chance after all.

No doubt- how JP kept a poker face during that is beyond me. This dude loves big words. Notice he isnt using them now though. He's a fake when he is intimidated by the person across him and shows it by resorting to "puffing up" intellectually much like many "alpha" males do when they feel threatened. Notice he isnt using them as mahr kisses his ass

Andre Campbell have you seen the PC debate with Jordan Peterson????

Its..... sooo.... bad. Fry is the only one who stays on point and that includes Peterson. But Dyson is the only beacon of complete stupidity in the debate. Even Michelle Goldberg had some valid points.

Andre Campbell Dyson an actor playing a part not a intellectual

I understand what your saying. But he needed to address it on a basic level before going into the deeper parts of PC culture.

Andre Campbell how's that GED work in out for ya

Exactly. Watch him in debates he just babbles on and on

Where's your best selling book?

@@bryankelsey8179 Try and keep up!

@@FASBLAQUE There’s a lot of pieces of shit that have been best sellers because idiots like you buy them. Bye bye now.

I saw this comment under the debate he had against Jordan Peterson and Stephen Fry: "M.E.D. is an intellectual in the same sense the Count from "Sesame Street" is a mathematician." - sums the guy up in my opinion.

Couldn't have said it any better myself 👏🏻

Exactly, the OGs in the culture war remember this moment.

JP is an angry white man.

@@jamberry8026 Troll?

@@TheDatabaseDude Lol! You mad? We already seen JP in action going through a tirade about transgender people. I wish he was that mad about how these big corps are trashing our planet yet he's mad because some guy wants to wear a dress!

It should be the same standard. 'Comedian', 'politician'... they're just titles. A politician can say something funny. A comedian can talk about politics.

Jon Stewart isn’t a comedian

Jay Doubleyhoo I agree. “Jon Stewart isn’t a comedian”, is funnier than anything he has ever said. Good Job👍🏻

Great quote and I fuckin agree!

because comedians speak truth to power which is more important in our times than it ever was. unfortunately this often results in people putting too much faith into their idols which in turn creates situations like these. at least imo fuck that fake academic btw that dude is like the snakeoilsalesman for scholars...

Wise words said, I would love to see all the black folk that got their pitchforks for Bill go out and actually protests racists like Trump and his cabinet.

The thing is, if anyone's been paying attention since the 80's Maher's always been a staunch advocate for racial equality and civil rights. It's all documented in . . . video.

Well Said

Exactly. In response to a puzzling (possibly racist) comment by a guest, he made a spontaneous joke that was not only leaden and unfunny, but also offensive. That's all that happened. I'm pretty sure he wasn't expressing deliberate racism. It was just an attempt at spontaneous humor that failed miserably. Hopefully this is the end of it.

It feels like 20 years doesn't matter and it's like..... what have you done for mee lately Edddiee Murphie

@@gregbrown1311 BINGO!

Peterson is the sad figure. he can't think past what he has been told and triggered, because it is possible for him to get his ass kicked by someone who wears a dress. Dr. Dyson is unbothered by such things and not one who wears a dress would even address him in anyway that is disrespectful. Peterson only gets respect from you sycophants who are afraid of the same things he is. Get your ass kicked by someone who wears dresses! 😅😆

So is your momma.

The number of racist folks on this post supporting racist ideology is mind boggling .

@@anthonycoleman9593 why?

I must disagree. By the supposition of your juxtaposition, you are quantitatively and quantifiably disregarding the fact that; he may be dim but still has brought his spectacles with him. 🎵

Well said.

Peterson is an angry old white man and an undercover Nazi. Peterson pulls shit out of his ass and calls it data. He's also an admitted psychotropic junkie and his health has gone down hill.

@@jamberry8026 there isn't a single shred of evidence that you can produce to prove anything about what you just said. I'm not even gonna acknowledge the"junkie" remark. He got help for that and almost lost his life. You're not a good person. Stop pretending to be.

@@dr.peppermintpatty4925 how is that obvious? Are you ever going to stop obsessing over Trump?

No wonder tall are so stupid doc if this man is what you consider a brilliant mind.

The paradox that tits like this guy never acknowledge is that their freedom was secured with the blood of many brave and honorable.... white people.

Jermaine Crockett Clearly I am not, or I would not be disagreeing with you.

I guess you missed the black troops who have died for this country since 1775

fred sims just because he didn't mentioned all the black soldiers doesn't mean he "missed" them. Clearly, you "missed" his point.

I didn't miss the point Our freedom wasn't given without our blood shed as well. And that's not the point of this discussion anyway. What about the millions oh white people who fought for the right to keep us enslaved.?

@@alexreiser6325 Hmm. That sounds kinda racist!

ShadesofCascades well said

That's the scary part. Maher's career got in serious jeopardy because of the noise/turbulence volume. Maher's career wasn't threatened by people like this reasonable guy he has on. Yet the reasonable guy is kinda defending the side of "yeah you deserved to be inches away from getting fired for a single joke like that" even though that's not an opinion I'd believe he'd actually take.

I couldn't say it better myself! Time to focus on the real bigots.

He shouldn't have apologized. The fact that we have double standards for WORDS is ridiculous. I am half-black btw. My father is from South Africa, so I know a thing or two about REAL racism. This fucking guy (the guest) is just being a crybaby.

There's no such thing as "white privilege". Asian Americans deflate that entire argument. Not only do they make more money, they go to jail much less often and they're a minority.

hahahahah.

Read the Willie Lynch letter and hopefully you can learn from this strategist even if you missed out on what’s happening in their strategy.

Nah bill doesn’t care u clearly have not watched lately

Hi another opinion is that Bill is not afraid, he felt & knew what he said was wrong . He didn't feel comfortable during or afterward and was big enough to apologize. I didn't like Ice Cube's attitude and manner in which he brought to Bill's apology. Dyson is no one's tool or fool. Some people aren't ok with a Black man, extremely intelligent or educated speaking about something wrong that a White man in this case Bill whom other people including myself have liked and respect for years acknowledges that he used a word which is harmful to the people who it was invented for and used against for decades . In my opinion the word is so hurtful that it is not justified for the Rappers and other Black people to use under the guise of changing it to an endearment in order to excuse Black people using it. This doesn't make it hurt less when said by a White person or person of a different nationality considering the history of the word. Bill knew this and did not eel good about saying it on national tv, especially during the racial division during the last 3 years.

Ka-Ka-Ka ba-ba-Bingo bu-bu-baby! A useless subject if ever there was one.

True that

Totally

@@blackphilip8936 Dyson is exactly what Thomas Sowell explained here: “Racism is not dead, but it is on life support - kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as ‘racists’”.

@@swesleyc7 The amount of dogma that Evangelicals borrowed from Catholics these days really is astounding. I've heard Evangelical preachers talk about "demon possession," which is a very Medieval, very Catholic belief that mainstream Protestants abandoned a long time ago. And also the belief that everyone's a "sinner" until they 'get saved" -that's certainly a sharp departure from the Calvinistic Protestantism that used to prevail.

Steve M - and this idiot is that idea, personified. His ‘arguments’ - for what they are cannot actually be reasonably qualified as anything other than the mumblings of an pathological obscurantist.

He is the king of word salad

He’s a total fraud. He should be in prison for slander and treason.

Daniel Schaeffer There are those folk who track Dyson like some intelligence agency, and more often than not, to posit the same old -isms about someone they don't even know. They simply can't stand to hear the truth.

He said some outrageously and shickingly racist shit during that debate. I couldn't believe it.

You're not the only one who saw that...

@@citizen320 oh my goodness, read a book! You have no idea what the word really means thus you compare the vitriol you're accustomed to hearing from acruak racists to the passion of those dispelling it

Keisha Puryear Nice impression. You captured Dyson’s BS rhetoric style perfectly!

Gold

Amazing. Nice to see Machiavelli in youtube comments.

Seeing Machiavelli dragged into a RU-vid comments section is like seeing a dead mermaid for sale at a fish market.

Do you even understand what the quote means

Demagoguery and 'divide and conquer' politics are both pretty simple concepts. You'd have to be a moron to not understand the quote. All I'm saying is that seeing the likes of Machiavelli quoted in this comments section is like seeing Britney Spears covering a Janis Joplin song.

I can shoot turds in a straight line, so no technical foul. Dyson is a token, pathetic race-hustler and Bill should not call him his friend.

Ok....everybody can say the word. As long as the jail population, becomes less disproportionate ...there is more of a balance when it comes to poverty where it does in numbers affect black people the worse.....the wage gap is tightened in favor of black folks...and...black bodies aren’t disregarded by LAW INFORCEMENT OFFICIALS...essentially repair 400 years of slavery...then sure, everyone can gladly say the word. We’ve been psychological destroyed and yes we don’t make it any easier for ourselves but the idea that..just because it’s used in rap songs that it should be open season is LITERALLY THE DUMBEST TAKE YOU CAN MAKE.

@@hillboycejr4939 totally agree. First of all there are things in all cultures that they consider taboo. In black culture when white people (or even other races) say the n-word its disrespectful. WHO CARES THAT WE CAN'T SAY IT?! I'm sure plenty of black ppl don't care if we say it but out of respect for those that do care.... just don't say it. JEEEEZZZZ. okay rant over.

the sociologist just kept pressing the issue. He kept wanting to say "white privilege" and make it a much bigger deal than it is. The Left has essentially let cultural marxists hijack their platform. This guy is a cultural marxist and an actual economic marxist because he wants reparations. I have zero respect for this man. Absolutely none. HE contributes nothing to society.

Jason He invited him on to have this conversation. It was a positive discussion what's the problem?

so much to appreciate about Bill though have to say that I did lose count of how many times I heard him start out by saying " But .... " Well, he had the balls to make this discussion happen.

Jason Exactly! move on

Pat Brodie stfu

SuperCool 69 of course talking over yr head lmao

Pathetic is an understatement.

It is pathetic. LordOfShadowz and CharlesBrown, thanks for adding so much to the conversation. Someone not being able to say a word because they’re white is racist. Simple.

Charles Brown what? Over his head? It’s a race baiter spewing garbage while a pussy apologizes....

Dyson is a total charlatan. He uses fast talking and an unnecessary vocabulary to obscure the fact that he rarely has anything meaningful or profound to ever say. He's the master of the word salad.

@@mkarnavar16 Yuuuuup. Word salad indeed.

neither one of them respect you either

Lmao

*just a little sodium chloride*

He’s a clown

Has no real intelligence

I agree with all that you said on your 1st 2 lines. If you mean the former president I agree with everything you said.

It's mostly that he knew that it's not a battle worth fighting. The word can still hurt people, and even though there are legitimate merits to discuss if it should hurt people regardless of context he knew it wasn't worth fighting over. Sometimes intellectual people need to just bite their tongue when it comes to dealing with emotional responses, not because the emotional folk are right, but just because you gotta pick your battles.

Too much backlash... I'm sure he doesn't give a fuck in reality, and he shouldn't.

I don't think it's bullshit at all. He made a spontaneous joke that was both offensive and terribly leaden. That's it. He knows it was offensive, and stupid, though bafflingly he seemed to think it was funny at the time when it wasn't. It was a stupid, spontaneous remark and now he knows it. Hopefully people will let him move on.

It's weird though that it's such a big deal. I used to work as a cashier in a drug store with a few black people, and I swear I heard the N-word about 200 times a day. I get why white people especially shouldn't use it, but no one thinks Bill Maher is racist or that he did it with malicious intent. If the mere utterance of the word causes people so much pain, why do we accept its use at all?

i agree with you and think maybe he laughed with embarrassment when he realized what he'd said, like bill but maybe he could cut down on the pot

He’s a dyed in wool white hating racist

Why is he a joke?

@@tupac777 he uses big words to say very little. He also loves throwing around the racist/racism label.

​@@tupac777 you named your page Tupac and you need to ask that question? Wow. Dyson is that epitome of everything Pac was against.

very true. bills such an important voice for the rationalists of america

I agree with you. This is manini stuff (what we say in Hawaii for small, trivial stuff)! Isn't it wonderful to have friends like Michael Eric Dyson! And to be open to conversing with the likes of Ice Cube on these matters! I'm looking forward to Dr.Cornel West's next appearance on the show! THANK YOU BILL MAHER FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE, FOR YOUR HONESTY, AND FOR YOUR SHOW. IT'S ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS THESE DAYS!!

its absolutely horse shit. cant believe people got angry over this garbage. I must be a house nigga too!

But us Trump supporters love watching you guys cannibalize your own!

your mom should apologize. when's that happening?

Yea peterson the professional stephen from django

People can only expect to be viewed as equals when they don't insist on hypocrisy.

EXACTLY

Bill Maher was only quoting what he's heard any number of times from Black comedians. He said what he said without malice. He was making a joke. Trying to be funny. That's it and that's all. No issue here.

that could very well be true.

Chaos Sector Bullshit. In a time when trump says shit out loud, you think anyone needs subtlety? Trump-i could shoot someone in the middle of fifth avenue and i wouldn't lose votes. Trump-Retweeted a disingenuous meme that showed blacks kill whites more than whites kill whites. And that whites barely kill anyone else. Subtle? Pure steteotypical racism. You saying maher did this on purpose? Your powers of perception, suck.

Your point is valid regardless of what shade your skin is.

I know, Dizzy Djinn. But my opinion is worth more to SJWs because I'm not white. That's why I mentioned it. They often dismiss the opinions of whites.

True, it's well-established that SJWs are racist.

+Kingsley de Jenga, Your logic should be applauded because it is getting very hard to find critical thinking in the masses these days. My friends will get offended when a white person makes the wrong assumption of them, "hablas espanol?". But if a fellow latino does the same thing, it's all chill. THE FUCK? You either care or you don't care. But I'm sick of these moments of stereotyping being labelled "racist microaggressions". Being ignorant, prejudice, or a dick doesn't make you racist, even if a racist is all of those things.

Kingsley de Jenga Right on, truth teller. Much respect, kings.

Man you are fragile as it gets. White boys is a racial slur? WTF

@@minkusmaz It refers to a white person's race in a manner that his entire identity is reduced to his racial background and that his judgement is invalid because of that. How is it different from N-word??

@@batukhan1 Hahahahahaahaha now "white boys" is as offensive as the N word. Fragile is the key word here.

@@minkusmaz a person's reaction to referring to his/her race in a demeaning manner is fragility? Even if he/she is "fragile", does it give anyone right to keep knocking on them?

@@batukhan1 Referring to someone as a white boy does not reduce their entirety to a racial slur the way the N word does. Not every mention of race is equivalent to every other mention of race. Mentioning race is not racism. A slur designed to put black people into a lower class is not the same as calling out negative behavior on the part of white men. You are lost.

Indeed would love to see it

This idiot says a whole lot of words without saying anything

@@neilsimpson9963 no but u just did

He's debated jordan peterson - political correctness

I wouldn't be able to keep up. They both use the tactic of talking so fast that you just go along with what they say without the time to have what was said register in your brain.

He’s riding a wave at the expense of the black people he claims to want to help. He’s a sick man.

He always does n no matter what whites do he demonizes them .. if they help he finds a way to make that bad. He’s another professional victim

Indeed y'all

You scared that you need Allies that don’t like you whether covert or overt? Cowardice.

And they are already at the damn door. Pounding. If you can’t see it, your head is in the sand.

Go watch Professor Black Truth episode on Bill Maher.

Agreed. it's even more a problem when you know for a fact that the intent wasn't to cause malice, yet still choose to be a victim and take the comment out of context.

I'm glad he said it. I don't even like him that much. It was simply funny.

Cassandra'sCurse Well spoken, Cassandra.

Thanks. I appreciate that : )

The use of "boy" in reference to men has been used to demean and disempower them by placing their social status on the level of children. Historically, since white men have held the reins of power throughout most of this country's existence, this has been directed towards black men and other minority men. But now that whites no longer have superior status, some minority speakers have felt at liberty to demean white men by using this term. It's just as racist as calling a black man "boy" and needs to be called out.

Cassandra'sCurse It'd be interesting to sit down and have a conversation with you and some others on here. It's not a proposal. Just whimsy. You seem a thinker. And you showcase the interest of thinking. So, there are some smart people commenting here. I've, got a feeling the smartest among us almost feel true hopelessness in the world around us. Perhaps its just subliminal. That must be why the smartest people aren't most of the populace of comment sections. Anyways, you dr braxy, DM584, jon davidson. It would be interesting to sit down with all of you, and some others here, to bounce thoughts off of.

thats a really interesting point, thankyou

Marcos Rivera yes

I thought it was funny too. Maybe because I'm not american? This debate about words seems a bit surreal, as an outsider, although I know the history of that word, and I wouldn't use it myself, even in a joke. However, I've come to know, and appreciate, Bill Maher because he makes jokes that very few other comedians would make. Isn't that why he's successful and he has a show on HBO? He's joked about almost every group he doesn't belong too. The debate is really about: can you joke about group X if you're not part of group X? Can you use stereotypes about group Y if you're not part of group Y? For example, Bill Maher is not gay, yet he has joked about gays so many times, jokes that I wouldn't dare to make myself, as a straight man! Maybe it's funny coming from him because we know there's no hate behind his jokes.

Not hilarious but pretty amusing. People don't seem to grasp the sentiment behind the joke, which is (explicitly) Bill expressing that he's too delicate to work in the fields and (implicitly) that Republican economic policies would like to turn us all into slaves. No racism was remotely meant by this. On another note, does anyone think that "Pulp Fiction" could not be made today? Because I can't see such an un p.c. script being greenlit in this environment.

Exactly, which is why his "I'm a comedian, and sometimes we go for laughs before fully thinking" was a valid defense. But it doesn't matter how many times he apologizes or how sincerely (and I do believe he is sincere) he means it; nothing short of jumping in the De Loren and going back in time will resolve this 5 second flub for some. Or (more insidiously) perhaps they were waiting for him to say something off-color and have simply used it as an excuse to push for firing. There are those on both the far Right and Left who have had a vendetta against Maher for decades.

Hilarious to white people.

Amen

Nick Turner WHY THE RAGE BRUHHH

I think he's got a little Jew in him too tbh

What did he say??

You need to grow up.

And become serious like you, you mean?

I think hes more grown than you

#2 opinion is that that is a wrong assumption. Bill is not afraid; he felt & knew what he said was wrong. He didn't feel comfortable during or afterward and was big enough to apologize. I didn't like Ice Cube's attitude and manner in which he brought in response to Bill's apology. Bill whom many people including myself have liked and respected for years acknowledged that he used a word which is harmful to the people whom it was invented for that purpose, and is still used against decades later, especially by illiterate or callous people. Harmful words can trigger people of all races. There is also someone who has not and can't be hurt by a word that was invented for a particular race different than theirs can easily criticize and accuse the affected person of proclaiming victimhood. Who are they to proclaim & judge what hurts others who were or are victimized or affected by something that can't affect the one judging. Black Rappers and people who use the word know it was invented to harm during murders, other victimization wrongly keep the word in use under the guise of changing it to an endearment as an excuse to keep using the foil word created as a weapon against people of African decent. This does not lessen the pain any more than it does when a Jewish or Polish or person of other descent is called a derogatory word regardless of a person who feel they have the right to judge and ridicule and dispute the fact that it is hurtful while mischaracterizing the person who rightfully feels hurt and speaks up disregarding the fact that people have a right to speak up when they are victimized. Bill is a decent, knowledgeable man who apologized for a word he knew was historically and currently used to victimize those it was invented for.

Just saw your comment. It really is amazing how prominent he is considering how watered down his logic always is and where he's employed.

Dyson is probably even aware of this. He is so used to twisting the white guilt titty that is literally how he pays for his BlackTube account.

lgmnow kondo smh

critiquing someones approach is far from hate...

lgmnow kondo no he didn't he didn't say nothing like that he said none of this stuff you saying you always try to flip the script we smarter than that

Charles Brown what is smh??

WarriorGoddess Yaa Asantewaa Typical...would jews forgive black people so easily? How many more passes do you have left to give. If he said it on national tv, how many times does he say it in private. wake up

so true Dyson went on to promote his book

bank80 yep. All white people are racist.

Nick Harley Nope, they are not. And not all of any ethnicity is racist. Every animal trying to pass themselves off as being human, doesn't realize there are holdovers from the time of survival of the fittest. Dog eat dog still exists. And is preached in sports, and business. Doesn't make it right. And where religion has installed itself, has caused a stagnation in overcoming the animal in all of us. In one aspect, religion says god plopped the human being down onto the earth, as is. As if there was no evolution. So, the religious believe every animalistic thing that we do is a chosen crime. We as the human species have made the rule of law for good reason. Because, animals dont follow guidelines too well. If it was up to god, it would still be survival of the fittest. Because, he's played no part in our society. If he had, there would be no need for courts, lawyers, judges, sentencing, jails. So being racist is a joke on all of the intelligent people of today, whom know better than to believe in a power of a word created by the dumber of our specific, animal species. Your goal, if you're offended, should be to evolve beyond giving a single word power over you. There are real problems going on. Look at that bullshit verdict in the philando case. Fucking ridiculous. A crime against humanity. And the republicans laud and praise these want-to- be, gun slingers, as heroes. The police, are a problem. The president, is a problem. Bill maher telling a sardonic joke, with the intent to insult the white republicans stance on the past, offends you? No one but you has this problem. It's irrational. It's an animalistic urge to move toward survival, when you're supposed to be a human being.

ro he Philando is just another needle in the back of the camel.

In a perfect world.

"Jesse Jackson is not the emperor of black people" "He said he was."

That's right. Bill Hicks use to say,"You're a christian. O.K. so forgive me."

He's not their as a rep for forgiveness. He's there as a friend and a speaker to give more nuance to the conversation. Why are people acting like that is a horrible thing?

It was not "horrible" on the face of it (just being on the show), but became more so because Dyson couldn't hide his zeal (more like a hard-on!) for sticking it to the rich white man who he did not treat much like a "friend".

Not wrong. The message needs to be said. But shaming Bill Maher for something he apologized for was over-the-top. I was put off by Dyson, but that's just me. It is just that I think Dyson was preaching to the choir. Bill is not the enemy of blacks. He admitted he made a mistake and apologized. It reminds me of when Black Lives Matter would disrupt Bernie and Hillary's speeches when the real enemies and racists are the Republican leaders. But I am guessing they don't get a chance to speak that openly to Trump, Sessions and the Republicans. If a person has ever been marginalized by society for any reason, and I have been, you have a lot of righteous anger. Yes. Let's direct it to the perpetuators of racist policies and speech.

Yep 👍🏽

Yes white boy

Please explain the relevance of your statement.
