does anyoneunderstand his boxing analogy?
I'm glad he used the boxing analog even tho he was wrong.
In boxing, the training and sparing is the merit that earns you a place in the history of champions.
A delusional argument. He did not address why Vivek and the black students in the same class had the same opportunity, but he was able to succeed. It has to do with what Thomas Sowell pointed out and that is culture and a two-parent home.
Michael Eric Dyson is proof positive of the evils of affirmative action.
Dyson is a cartoon character. A joke
We are living in 2023 dude not 1857. This way of thinking only harms black community because this way of thinking is the reason why people of other races don’t respect black people. btw not only black people were treated bad back in the day. Us Asians too were treated bad, if a brown dude like me walk in rural Alabama at night in 1920s I probably would’ve gotten killed. But we don’t ask for special privileges we just work hard. Also AA harms Asians it take away the spot of the Asian student who has 1370 on SAT and given it to the Black student who has an 850 on SAT. When it comes to college admission the only merit should be your educational achievements and race being a merit in 2023 make no sense. Using race as a merit is like in a boxing match you will also get merits for being able to sing better, which makes no sense because in a boxing match the only thing that should matter/get points for is how hard can you hit, just like that in college admissions the only thing that should matter is your educational qualifications.
This man is the definition of insanity. This man’s way of thinking is the reason why racism still exists.
Guess Biden was wrong when he said. Black kids are just as smart as white kids?
Race is a merit – Hitler
I love that this clown cites an example from 200 years ago lol, they're never going to stop crying
The average IQ for North East Asians (Chinese, Japanese & Korean) is between 105-110, for Europeans it's between 95-100, for people in South & Central America, the Middle East & North Africa, the Indian Subcontinent & Central Asia it's between 85-90 and for Sub Saharan Africa its between 66-71, anything under 80 and you will struggle in an advanced society, it's why asians are the model minority and achieve higher then everyone and why blacks continue to fail in most things
That is just a word salad that he just spewed here.
“Race is a merit!”
The sum of all liberal beliefs in a nutshell
We need affirmative action in the NBA; too many blacks.
Talent, education, qualifications, scores, degrees, marks, etc., must be the only qualifications for getting admitted to universities and also jobs. And not backdoor gatecrash methods using color, race, caste, religion, bogus victimhood, biological defects, height, weight, etc. We have an equivalent concept called caste/religion reservations in jobs and education where reservation students who get minimal marks get admitted to top institutes but those caste/religions who don't have reservations can't get in even if they score high marks. This has created a nasty situation where it has become okay to not study well or gain knowledge as they will get a seat or job anyway.
in 1857, Black people have no rights, seriously? Remember Black people then were slave, from the dawn of human history slave were never been equal with their master. The GI Bill applies only to those who served in the Military. This Michael Eric Dyson is ignorant as F _ _ K, and racist himself.
Yes, we get it, everything is systemic racism… 🙄
Imagine arguing that your skin color inherently makes you so inferior that you need to be given special privileges you haven't earned while stripping those who have earned them, and then calling that equal…
Gotta love how people in positions of power, and thus are a literal contradiction of their own argument, are spewing this race baiting rhetoric instead of trying to show that they're an example of what to strive for…
It's sad just how embarrassingly pathetic the left has become.
Giving someone something they haven't earned at the expense of someone else who has is immoral. And, condescending.
People who believe themselves morally superior when they bestow unto others such largesse because they view the beneficiaries as too stupid to do it on their own, demonstrate they are doing so for self-aggrandizement.
Get a job
This is what you get from race-based affirmative action.
"Race must constitute a merit"??? I am sure Hitler thought about the samething
Biggg bullshit all about trying create new resist problems I no ma black peoples are resist to any one but their on peoples any black folks don’t want to resisted any more any more the can study Islam Islam made illegal have slaves at 571 black or white Doesn’t matter in Islam no Muslim can be slaves Prophet Muhammad slave name habesi Bilal he vas a darkest skinned African when he excepted be Muslim Prophet Muhammad told him you are free man but Bilal told he didn’t wanted be free Hz.

Hear the any other part of the story every one no isis is ruthless criminals why the are surrendered to pkk whit out fire a single shot because the are same thing same site the both working to for USA government
No, that's the definition of racism. Used against or used to benefit it's still racism. Until you stop taking race into account on everything the cycle continues.
Republicans: Black people are smart and capable. We don’t need them questioning if they’re successful based on their skin color or their merits.
Democrats: Black people are far too stupid to do anything on their own. We need to hand everything to them and in that way we can show we’re superior to them but still compassionate because we allow them to participate.
Disgusting.
Is this guy claiming that no black veterans of WW2 benefited from the GI Bill? Many did, but at differing rates for different reason. I'm not going to act like prejudice did not play a role in some of this. Affirmative Action has been going on for over 50 years now. Thats around two generations. Getting rid of it for college admissions is fair at this point. Lets be honest, deserving students were denied admission in an attempt to fix harms done in the past, which is acceptable, but we need to start moving forward. Those who benefited from affirmative action hopefully passed on those benefits to their children by fostering an academic mindset. Lets see how this plays out. We cant compete if we are holding back our smartest people
Thank you SCOTUS! Finally, we can start getting rid of the REAL "systematic racism!"
I wonder, since these universities continue to say they are discriminatory towards black people, shouldn't they lose all government funding?
Affirmative action is was and still is discrimination in it’s purest form.
Michael Eric Dyson is the king of word salad.
This dude is afraid his job will disappear with affirmative action 😂
Clown show continues
Humanity has been trying to legislate behavior and moral idealism since the beginning of civilization. Our repeated failure is because there are essentially two types of people; well-intentioned and nefarious. Those who are well-intentioned will behave with empathy and dignity toward others with or without laws to prompt them. Those who are nefarious will circumvent laws to achieve their goals.
graduate from high school. get a 1,000 on SAT. study at a decent college. Go from there.
Sky is the limit, for all 330 million of us, because this is 2023 and you're in America
Bridges are built with math and engineering not by the color of ones skin. Everyone wants equality until its time to do equality stuff.
This guy cannot be taken seriously, because his argument does Not pass the logic test, here's why. Asians have been marginalized and discriminated against in history in America, people from India and other parts of the world have been discriminated against in America, and yet in America they are among the highest demographic in admissions to American colleges, and have the highest graduation rates. Above Caucasians. The difference is a higher percentage of those in those ethnicities take education seriously, more than Caucasian and African American, and the academic scores and grades reflect that. When you look at high income earners in America, its comprised of a high percentage of persons of other races and ethnicities, whether its tech workers, doctors, lawyers, business owners, etc. So Mr. Dyson is wrong, because if what he claims is true, then how does he explain the success of other minorities, and low crime and incarceration rates ?
Disgusting.
This is real telling of Democrats. They’re outraged by the Supreme Court striking down racism. Hmm, sounds like they’re the ones who are racist.
Ah equality. Cope.
Appart from the fact that college admissions are not 100% merit based…
How come many rich alumni have their children go to the same college as them? Merit?… Right!!!
