It must be hell to be the only rational adults in your entire race."

I'll second that emotion. ( Thank you Smokey Robinson & The Miracles)

A copy of the email I send to this clown minus the typos and spell checked.

Mr.Dyson

I recently had the chance to read your article in the Chicago Sun-Times about my good friend Jesse L. Peterson and I thought I would take time out of my busy day to sit down and write you an email.

First Mr. Dyson the only hate I can see in your article is from yourself, it is people like you that have prevented African-American in this nation from obtaining true freedom. People like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton yourself, and other can make the claim that you are fighting for the liberalation of African American, but the only thing I have seen people like you sale is victimization and bigoted name-calling over the years.

I mean Mr. Dyson who are you trying to sale bullshit to? You and I both know that neither Democrats or Republicans are going to back your silly call for reparations for African Americans. You know full well it is a political landmine neither party is going to step on, and that old foolish Congressmen John Conyers knows this all too well because since 1985 he has been trying get the study of reparations out of subcommittee and has failed each time.

Secondly you know full well this nation holds no independent wealth of it own so to take 1000's of taxpayer dollars and waste them on the study of reparations is nothing more than feel good politics being sold to the African American Community, but old burned out 1960's radicals and race hustlers who's day has long pasted.


Rev Peterson is right about this, "What have you quote unquote liberal African Americans done to improve the lifes of African Americans?" It is nice that you and other liberal African Americans take the time to come down and visit all of us who live and work in the trenches of the community of coruse when you are not sucking up to the likes of DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe or Former President Bill Clinton, but much like Janet Jackson has sung "What you done for me lately?"

I happen to live here in the city of Baltimore Maryland with a 65% African American Resident Rate and where the national headquarters of The NAACP happens to be based as well. Now if reparations is such a moral quest of liberal African American can you please tell me why 50% of children here are attending Summer School and why does the city rank number one in the nation for heroin usage and STD rates?

Maybe you should stop shoveling out bullshit such as Reparations and the Confederate Flag Issue and come fight a real fight, but then again I would expect as much from sellouts and cowards anyway.

Yes Mr. Dyson in your mind(and I do use that word liberally)I guess reparations will be the cure all for the problems facing the African American Community.

Once reparation checks are in the mail. Will gang bangers put down their guns, Will crack and heroin addicts suddenly kick the habit, Will African American Fathers return to the home to heal and care for their families, Will African Americans come forth from jails ready to go right to work in the community, and Will the liberal white fat cats of this nation who all of you suck up to finally give African Americans their due respect?

Mr. Dyson if you indeed do believe all this please let me know what you are smoking so I can get my hands on it!(Puff Puff Give Brother)

Mr. Dyson you are nothing more than another modern day race hustler much like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Tavis Smiley, John Conyers, and the rest of the African American Liberal Sellouts who have long sold nothing but victimization to the African American Community for the longest time and have blamed white conservatives and Republicans in general for all the ills of African Americans Community which in itself is a flat out lie.

Yes Mr. Dyson feel froggy while you can, I am sure the forum in which you debated my good friend Rev Peterson was made up of like minded sellouts and victims such as yourself, but please feel free contact me at anytime you want a real debate on the issue of reparations and I will be more than happy to come and engage in a sensible and informed debate on the issue.

Alas, education is the key to true equality for young children. Without it they really do have little hope. Any thing to acheive this goal that black, white and all other leaders and just plain Americans can do to get these kids to read and write is so important. Vouchers will help once that battle is won in the courts.

[SauronOfMordor]

The trouble with some is that they don't want to acknowledge the truth of his argument.

More accurately, they feel threatened by his argument

The reparations argument is for lots of funding for "development" efforts to enhance the black community. The black "elite" sees itself as the logical administrator of all this funding (and in the process would be given an opportunity to skim $billions to the benefit of themselves and their friends)

Black journalists would have the profitable task of molding opinion among blacks in support of the effort. No reparations = no gavy train for the black elite

[GmbyMan]

Excellent Letter, Sir. I second every word.

Here are ten reasons why so called African Americans should vote Republican:

1)Vouchers would disproportionately help poor/inner city children and parents.

2)Lower taxes on income means more people who aren't presently rich become rich (it also means that more of those who are already rich either get passed by or become poor... see work by Thomas Sowell). If we live under the pretense that fewer blacks are presently rich than whites, this would help out poor and middle class blacks trying to move up. Republicans favor new money over old money.

3)Affirmative Action places too many blacks into situations that they can't handle and sets them up for failure. For instance, colleges which are far beyond their comprehension such as MIT, Harvard, etc... will accept a black person who is generally unqualified to attend that school just because that person is black. That person will, at a far higher rate than those who got in due to their skills, fail out. All for things like diversity. It isn't fair to waste talented blacks in this manner. Let them get into colleges in which they can succeed!!!!

4)For whatever reason, blacks tend to die much younger than do whites. The Social Security System, as it is presently built, is a DEATH TAX in that it stops paying people once they die. If SS is reformed into some sort of savings type plan, the recipient would get to pass on his hard earned earnings to his next of kin. This would keep their money in their own family instead of leaving it in the government to hand out to white people (who tend to live longer lives).

5)The biggest victim of crime in this country, by far, are people in the African-American community. Republicans are tougher on crime and more interested in putting more cops on the beat than are Democrats. Of course, that means that occasionally you will see a cop or two get out of hand. That is no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater! Republicans know this. Democrats, in general, do not. Law-abiding blacks should vote for police force/more prison Republicans.

6)Republicans are big fans of allowing law abiding citizens free access to conceal and carry laws. In a place like Detroit or Los Angeles, such laws would truly bring crime down significantly. Democrats tend to believe in gun control. Leaving black people unarmed and placing them into a war zone is, IMO, really freaking stupid. More Guns/Less Crime. Don't vote for someone who is going to remove your protection.

7)Republicans are big proponents of the military. Blacks tend to join the military at a somewhat higher rate than do whites. We love military men and women with a passion.

8)The welfare state has caused greater damage to the black community than anything prior to it (even slavery). Republicans have been out front in reforming and hopefully, eventually, ending the welfare state. This will create, at the very least, a similar marriage rate amongst blacks as amongst whites (this was how it was, I believe, when LBJ's joke the Great Society came into being. Correct me if I'm wrong!).

9)A large number of blacks are religious and anti-abortion. The Republican party is the only party that stands up for those taking this stance.

10)No Reparations!..... See welfare notes above. Same argument!

"Peterson spoke mainly of his disappointment in African-American morality, without giving substantive examples, and while asking Dyson to speak in “more accessible” language."

My, my. Peterson laid the problem out on the table and they are still too ignorant to understand....

[RonPaulLives]

Rev. Peterson is simply awesome !

I was fortunate enough to meet and speak with him when he was here in town speaking with the Birch Society Speakers Bureau.

[Corporate Law]

Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams would probably be as well received at this convention as Rev. Peterson was.

[HELLRAISER II]

While I to am big & opinionated and not to afraid of anything, I'm not to sure that I would like those odds. 300 to 2, I just don't know man. That's an awful lot of whiteman hating brothers to be instigating into a fight.

[Faraday]

Dyson is a glib socialist. He can string together a series of academic jargon with the best of them. If you listen however, you notice the lack of content. He has parlayed fluff into a career. Those who stand and applaud this moron only demonstrate their own lack of depth.

Rev. Peterson: Whatever doesn't kill us, makes us stronger. Thanks for your bravery. It will be rewarded.

[lepton]

Lacking money and education, the entire country discriminated against them.

Such discrimination is entirely appropriate.

Here! Here! With your permission, I'd like to post this as a separate thread (and I've already posted it on my own site as well), of course with credit to you, my friend!

[Migraine]

Michael Eric Dyson ...this guy is a thug.

Hell, I'm blacker'n he is! And all I've got's a decent tan. Is he trying to "pass" (for black)?

[dirtboy]

Last Friday’s events validated my long-held suspicions that even the most educated blacks hate whites with a passion.

That in turn is a poor generalization by Rev. Peterson. I have known several educated blacks and they don't hate whites, and two of them are very good friends of mine.

[dirtboy]

Educated whites do not learn those lessons.

Naw, instead a lot of them blame their disfunctional families, their opressive husband/wife, the supression of their inner child, repressive Christian elements in society, or any number of other psycho-babble malodies to rationalize their problems as being anything but their own fault. That process is not just a black thang...

[RooRoobird14]

It takes tremendous courage and character for men like Reverend Petersen, Doctor Sowell, Justice Thomas, Trueblackman, and others to regularly stand up to the vicious attacks and threats from race-baiting Nazis like the NAACP, the NAJB, etc. Fine men like Reverend Petersen endure the hatred of leftist black Mafia thugs like Julian Bond, Action Jackson, Kweasy Mfool, and others on a daily basis.

May God bless and protect our conservative black brethren--may they continue to speak the truth and be unafraid of the race-baiting deceivers.

[Saundra Duffy]

PING this!!!!!!!

[junta]

The Chicago Sun Times runs his drivel perhaps to show that Black Leftists are as anti-intellectual as they come. Dyson's writings are meant to wear down instead of to inform, almost childlike in form.
