The president of the united states was a black man and the black community is still not considered to be at the dinner table? Smh what do you want before you start acknowledging yourself black community? A full black senate?
Ilias Houssni yes. A full black senate would be nice. Ooooh And A full black Supreme Court Oh and When we are paid 50% more on average than any other demographic,...When we’re in charge of almost ALL Fortune 500 companies. When the next 43 presidents in a row are Black. And it’s considered normal, then we’d be off to a good start
Christy Clark Ive always said it as "If you aint at the Table. Then you my friend. Are the MEAL!" And thats what we are. The Meal. And its unfortunate that too many in the White Community. Dont realze. that theyre on the Menu TOO. And that their Whiteness will not save them either.
Sophisticated Swanson now go watch him get schooled by another educated black man in larry elder. This black man is part of the problem thats holding blacks back and is feeding off of it. He aint got shid on Elder
An educated black man is a problem? The cops killing us for no reason is the problem. Us killing us and aborting us is the problem. More black and brown kids are being aborted than are killed by police or on the streets.
If he is supposed to be a model for an educated black man, that would be a problem. That implies that enough of the population thinks his shallow crap is anything more than intellectual waste. He's never going to be more than a soap box, relying on someone to cling onto his ideas to make a buck. Better to trust someone who has the capacity to produce something concrete, a man able to bring to reality the fruits of his intellect.
Dyson my boy man..my first class in my college was taught by this man on the sociology of Kendrick Lamar. sat with him in his office day before election day '16 talking about the relationship between thought and feeling in music. He dapped me up every time he saw me after that, asking how the music was going. Man has only showed me love. I appreciate him deeply for that and tryna start taking the lessons i learned from him and others into my own music and message. great interview
mans a racist too "mean mad white man" so yall should both be real proud of yourselves.. no more kid gloves for sjws and rjws, yall get the same treatment yall give out for people yall label as racist and the negative stigma you attach to anyone who associates with people yall deem racist.
It's funny that Angela and Envy have degrees but ctha god is the one with the knowledge and is driving the conversation. They should demand a refund on that shit.
Alexis Massey he doesn't "amuse" me, and brilliant is relative. i've heard him speak on enough topics intelligently to consider that word fitting. if you don't agree, cool.
@Animated Universe of Mel I wouldn't take any advice from an alien that spews epithets with no context. Thomas Sowell? Unless you want to learn how to assimilate 101 I'd recommend Dr. John Henrik Clarke or better yet... brother Michael Eric Dyson! FOH with that black republican talk... back to space you go!
It's funny how every time, and I mean every time you can go look, there's an intellectual black guest (be it Dyson, Maxine Waters, Angela Rye, Farrakhan, etc.) on the show the comment section is chock full of people trying to discredit them. Stay woke my friends ✊
Interesting. Did you realize that the commenters are subscribers to breakfast club? Someone comes on a show they watch regularly and display a bunch of intellectual disingenuous jargon that seeks to focus black anger and direct it for their own money and influence. People dont like that. Freedom of speech is not freedom from criticism.
So you're insinuating that every single black intellectual that comes to TBC is disingenuous and self-serving? And you know that for a fact? You must be well connected. It's also funny how no one other type of guest receives that same criticism, it's almost as if people were able to make anonymous accounts online with the express intent of discrediting intellectual black people and any positive message they may or may not have, a thing that has been done in America since it's inception. Crazy.
I never said they were above criticism, but a criticism of a person doesn't discredit everything they've ever said or done or are saying and doing. It also doesn't mean that everything they say is wrong, but for some reason people think it does for Black intellectuals that speak on race issues in America.
Young King Kush That happens to literally everyone political the reason people are focusing so much on him right now is because of his bullshit debating with Jordan Peterson
Okay, I'm watching this interview again and I mean, it's wonderful to see a room filled with black men and women (go angela!) Speaking intelligently and beautifully about hip hop, race, and much more. I felt inspired just by the conversations you guys were having!
The best part are the history lessons. Politics is meaningless without historical context. Knowing history allows you to analyze events critically and to form your own conclusions rather than just accepting what people tell you. I think a lot of younger conservatives need to watch old debates and discussions from the 50s and 60s and realize white conservatives have been using the same rhetoric to describe black activists for the last 60 years. You might conclude that they were right back then and they are right now, but at least you will have reckoned with history and hopefully have a better understanding of the arguments you're using.
I Could Hear Michael Eric Dyson Speak For Hours And Feel Very Powerful !!! I 💙 Him A lot Always Been A Fan Since I Saw Him On The News Years Ago !!!! Speaking Up For POC ✊🏽🤗😘
Love love love Dr. Michael Eric Dyson! I was soooo happy to see a new interview with him. He hits us with truth, great personality, teacher, and speaker!
I understand where he’s coming from with college. But he’s talking about it as though it is easily accessible and affordable. There are still many ways to get valid knowledge without ever having gone to college. College is not the only way you get information and even more important colleges don’t expose you to black history unless your studying that or at an hbcu for the most part
Pedro Justice there’s nothing wrong with any college but community college isn’t free everywhere. Fafsa doesn’t assist most middle class Americans. And some you would have to still transfer to a four year university. So it’s still about the money and resources. It’s scholarships but we all know that only a few can get those. And to take out a loan for college is not as easy as it has been. If you have the resources go for it. The experience is great but that’s not the only way to get structured information
I see what your saying. I think what he is saying is that until you attend college you don’t know how to be productive in learning alone, researching alone or finding like minded people to discuss information. I think college gives you tools to use. So, like if you do teach yourself black history you will know how to research and study in an affective way . Ya know
I love this man simply for his intelligence and how he keeps life so real! Thank you for being yourself. Thank you for standing up for our people and educating us about ourselves. Thank you for stressing how important it is to educate ourselves. The you for challenging us to use our minds.
No he didn't actually. Why do you white people lie and act as if people don't have eyes and ears? He made Peterson look bow his head, in shame, like a child after calling him an angry mean white man, lol
Why attack the man for speaking his truth? His message might be opinionated but it's based on fact, historical fact. Which make most of what he is saying truth from my point of view. You can't be intellectual in 5 words or less. If your in opposition to his opinions please elaborate. Don't just blast non intellectual attacks without backing it up.
This is why I love the Breakfast Club; they are not afraid to have real, right, and raw guests who can effectively articulate the Black experience and social agenda. From ignorance to intellectual, the Breakfast Club has it all...
I've been following Michael Eric Dyson for years. He is brilliant, intelligent, outspoken, well spoken, and this man is a hero for all black men and an amazing black man!!! 👊
King Tee Firstly, why on earth do you go straight to that assumtion? Secondly, this Dyson fella makes no sense, he speaks volumes of nonsense all based on race. He only thinks of people ad their colour, he doesn't think of people of individuals. He's good at riling people up, that's IT.
No problem with a black man or woman being able to converse intelligently: there is a huge difference between throwing a vocabulary book at people and intelligent discussion. Dyson throws the whole vocab book, plus some words that dont even exist (but sound cool). Notice how someone like Dyson talks very differently from great minds like Thomas Sowell or Larry Elder
You have to have a major the job market wants. Engineering (Computer, mechanical, electrical), math and science get the jobs. Liberal arts gets you nothing. Not always but more often than not.
I've never heard an engineering grad having trouble. Is your former major one of the three I listed? Civil/environmental engineering tends to be hard to get a job in.
It’s electrical engineering, a year without work. I recently got into masters degree program to do something otherwise I would give the impression that I been inactive and employers don’t want me. It is what it is though, i gotta keep my head high, it will come.
Keep your head high, I've found that some markets are more conducive certain disciplines than others. I just looked and I found 100's of jobs. Maybe where you live isn't the engineering spot as compared to other places. Try this site. www.indeed.com/q-Entry-Level-Electrical-Engineer-jobs.html Before I got my job, I applied for years while working as a secretary (receptionist but eh). Apply for anything and everything try to break a door open. If you do your master's before you get into your field, you may be placed into that 'overqualified' category so tread lightly on the masters. Good luck young sir.
I have yet to miss any of his breakfast club interviews, I learn a lot from hearing his words, I took a social media break and it was the best decision I made in a long time
Why are all you Haters in this room? Just because you don't agree or like Dr. Dyson doesn't mean that he is wrong! His platform is race and social justice!
Loving this man. I know I'm late on his train but I've learned so much on this week listening to him. But I agree I need to read as well. Spit brudda spit...."Let's make America Great for the 1st time", truth.
A few months ago I read Michael Eric Dyson's book on Malcolm X "Making Malcolm" and was very disappointed, to say the least, at how he wrote about & how critical he was at times of Malcolm. Made me look at MED very differently.
Family, let's; "admit to commit" -- that there's a layer of sublime consciousness that our brother Michael Eric Dyson hits on that is the real essence of our intellectual melanin spirit.
Mactownization Your the hater in crowd at Eric Dyson event for what reason.. Go watch and support Peterson. Peterson is not that great of speaker let alone teacher/debater
Jojo Saylor then why did those in attendance who were polled as "willing to change their veiws" do so in favor of Peterson? Let me guess, "muh oppression and the white man".
Paynus Vajonas The day you'll learn to think you'll learn that majority is not always right. Although I even doubt your statistics, given that I haven't seen them myself.
Blew Just Google search the Munk debate with their names and it will take you right to their website with the polls and statistics. I never claimed the majority was always right. In fact, I'd argue that the majority can be dead wrong (segregation laws, slavery, the drug war). All I'm saying is that, according to the audience, Jordan Peterson and Stephen Fry presented a better argument. And the debate wasn't even about race it was SUPPOSED to be about political correctness which covers all racial backgrounds, creeds and orientations. Dyson, who is arguably at this point racist, used it as an opportunity to race bait furthering his effort to didvide us racially. PLEASE don't buy into that. As a white man, I truly do recognize injustice in this nation. I want to do what I can to help fix it. It hurts me to think people of color see me as inherently racist. I was raised right. I want to help but I don't believe Dyson's ideology is the way we mend the racial tension in this country.
I can't believe this interview just got 81K views, If it was some gossip or black people beefing with each other or this one sleeping with this one. We would've already been at MILLION VIEWS.
chade right but if you look at education on a larger scale most black people are ignorant because they did not go to college regardless if it cost money college is not just an institution for learning you build communication skills and other skills needed to move around in “this” America you definitely need a combination of self teaching and learning from other people
For some reason the same people will tell you pharmaceuticals are needlessly expensive and need to be reduced in price but NEVER want to call out the universities for having outrageous overhead and bloated spending in distributing knowledge in the digital age.
Daniel Love exactly why you have to distinguish between fact and fiction, learn your own body, take care or yourself you don’t have to go to college to know whats good and bad for you
I agree with him on a lot of his points. However, you don’t have to go to college to be educated. You don’t have to go to college and be forced to read and research to LOVE READING AND RESEARCH. Growing up in poverty you already have the skills of critical thinking you just have to read and study to understand how to use it but you definitely don’t have to go to any college to learn these skills especially if you’re a young black person most of us are coming from families where college isn’t any option not because of lack of money but lack of time and earning to debt ratio! I love speaking to scholars but one thing some of them forget is the ability to evolve and transform. Water can be manifested in 3 different states of existence doesn’t mean it’s still not water.
Tasharee Ross perfectly said...this is a new generation.... we don't need schooling to be successful or be considered educated it's quite outdated...but the old generation doesn't understand that times have changed they keep telling us to go to school not knowing the high amount of debt will acquire and not knowing that a lot of times we won't be able to do anything with those degrees...because the old way seems to be a trap
I respect your stance on college, nevertheless I disagree. College is very important for obtaining the correct, detailed format by which to relay, address, and engage the various institutions that hold the structural powers within our societies. As a sociologist major, I totally understand Mr. Dyson' s sentiments. Just food for thought. If you disagree I'd be happy to substantiate my points with factual and imperical data, I simply ask that u do the same...
Tasharee Ross you don't have to go to college like you don't have to go to church or Bible study...just consider only reading the Bible versus studying the Bible with theologians within a congregation...the many perspectives and ideas can be discussed and studied versus reading a book and reflecting about it on your own.
True, but community college is just as good as an expensive IVY league school. The Average cost is about $3,000 a year. If you're young and motivated you can pull 3G's a year easily. I know dudes from around my way that spend that money on their Jordan collection when they could be investing in a career instead. You just need to know how to play the game.
Shout out Dr dyson, I love when this man stops by the breakfast club, very intellectual and insightful and informative. I went to barnes and nobles today and purchased "What Truth Sounds Like" for $21.64 USD. It's a great read so far and he is just as passionate and colorful in the book as he is in his interviews. I wasn't able to buy "Prison Industrial Complex For Beginners" because they were out, but I'll surely be ordering it online. Y'all go get Dr Dyson's book though, it's a good read!
Funny you assume black people dont pay attention to a black man who loses in a debate, these just MUST all be white people. An L is an L and even cornel west thinks his former student is a hypocrite
ShaunandShawn I disagree - he stayed on point. Jordan Peterson was heated and then tried to pretend like he didn’t understand the concept of being privileged. He tried to make MED out to be an idiot. But he failed because he was too emotional and he was just talking gibberish..
At 11:17 time, not even finished watching. I can honestly say this is the BEST interview on BCP105.1, so far!!!! Educated interview for the CULTURE. 1 Luv
The best discussions I have are with non college educated people. They don’t think in a box. They actually work harder to know because they aren’t as educated. Look how CTG is actively in the conversation and the college grads are silent🤷🏽♀️
but they didn't enforce the fair housing act on our behalf...folk were still discriminating against us in housing...in every metric actually, but specifically in housing.
