Dr. Michael Eric Dyson teaches Eric Erickson a lesson on racism in America →
Dr. Michael Eric Dyson tries to give Eric Erickson a lesson on racism in America. Watching Dyson speak, and observing Erickson and Anderson Cooper’s dumbfounded reaction to the academic quality of his language, is a sad reminder of how lowbrow and anti-intellectual the sociological and political discourse is in the mainstream media. The format of these television news programs is clearly not a sufficient platform to explain complex issues to the public. Dyson has so much to offer, so much to say. It’s a fucking shame that he’s given this opportunity to be on TV, only to be forced to talk at lightning speed for under 5 minutes to some ignoramus who isn’t listening anyway. How much he gets across is an impressive feat nonetheless.
