[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, people associated with BLM get upset when their group is criticized and accused of inciting violence because a few rogue actors chant disgusting things and some even act on it.  
But, the supporters say that you cannot paint BLM with such a broad brush because of the actions of a few.

That is precisely what Dyson does in this article.  He has painted “White America” with the same broad brush.  “White America” is prejudiced and blind to the struggles of the black man, according to Dyson.  
Mr. Dyson has no idea how I was raised, what I was taught, or how I feel as a white person. [/quote]I have no idea how you were raised but I can surmise by your comments that your empathy is minimal.  Words have power.  Yours and Dyson's.[/quote]

The PP is simply pointing out a fact.  Dyson's article -  poorly and simplistically written - makes the same blanket generalization throughout this piece.  not any different from someone blasting all BLM supporters for "being the same"

Dyson wants to incite racial hatred.  Any good writer would use harder stats INSTEAD of repetition to prove a point.

an emotional appeal

I think Dyson's article wasn't a particularly well written or conceptualized article, but I do not for a moment think that his intent was to incite racial hatred. I think he was expressing deep frustration and deep anger, and attempting to post challenges to white America to take responsibility for what must at the very least feel like willful ignorance of the pain and suffering that many African Americans feel.

You seem completely unable to come to terms that Dyson's article was explicitly racist, and racist only in ways that extremely comfortable whites in power tend to indulge when coming from the mouths of other, slightly less comfortable blacks with the right credentials.

The Times would never print an article from a white professor at a second-tier university opining upon the pathology in "Black America" and openly expressing loathing for the failures of "Black America" - of which there are many.

As they say, "no justice, no peace." Until people like Tyon and publications like the Times are prepared to remove their privileged heads from their asses and stop their own racism, we will continue down the same path. Privileged blacks have it far better off than unprivileged whites in this country, and they won't be slapped around by some alliance of BLM sympathizers and rich liberals.[/quote]
