This is a major achievement. I read it and said amen. As the country grapples with racist division at a level not seen since the s, one man's voice soars above the rest with conviction and compassion. Now he continues to speak out in Tears We Cannot Stop— a provocative and deeply personal call for change. Dyson argues that if we are to make real racial progress we must face difficult truths, including being honest about how black grievance has been ignored, dismissed, or discounted.
If we don't act now, if you don't address race immediately, there very well may be no future. In this latest Dyson offering, Mr. Dyson is making a direct appeal to white Americans to give up their hold hold on whiteness and once and for all really try and understand what it is that Black Americans feel and deal with on a daily basis in our sojourn on these shores. Indeed, "that white America can definitively, finally, hear from one black American preacher a plea, a cry, a sermon, from my heart to yours.
He says, the only way he could have said these words is in a form of a sermon and that for the most part is the way the book is constructed. In the middle it is more of an essay form though he continues nominally with the sermon flavor. Essentially, Dyson argues we Black folks have to depend on the ability and willingness of white folks to change their hearts and minds if the race issue will ever see the light of transformation.
When it comes to race the past is always present. I'm not of the religious bent, so my faith in that is negligible. Dyson strains to make clear the difference between individual racism and bias compared to institutional racism. Institutional racism is a system of ingrained social practices that perpetuate and preserve racial hierarchy. He drops reminders throughout that he and his children are very accomplished, not sure why he found that necessary.
Makes me want to holler, N! A wordsmith like Dyson should be ashamed of himself to engage in that cowardly nonsense. He even quotes Jay -Z, to buttress his argument.
Try using some pejorative words to refer to other groups and see what happens. So, if you can't be universal in the the use of pejoratives, I say stop it when it comes to us. Otherwise, you are showing your cowardice. If you think I'm over reacting see Michael Jackson and the furor surrounding his song, 'They don't really care about us' and Marlon Brando about the stereotypes that have failed to make it to the silver screen.
