Michael Eric Dyson vs. Eddie Glaude on Race, Hillary Clinton and the Legacy of Obama's Presidency

democracynow.org - On Wednesday night, President Obama addressed the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia and implored the nation to vote for Hillary Clinton. As Obama seeks to pass the torch to his secretary of state, we host a debate on Hillary Clinton, her rival Donald Trump and President Obama’s legacy between Princeton University professor Eddie Glaude and Georgetown University professor Michael Eric Dyson. Glaude’s most recent book is "Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul," and he recently wrote an article for Time magazine headlined "My Democratic Problem with Voting for Hillary Clinton." Dyson is the author of "The Black Presidency: Barack Obama and the Politics of Race in America" and wrote a cover article for the New Republic titled, "Yes She Can: Why Hillary Clinton Will Do More for Black People Than Obama."

That is the kind of help that I received and I think we need to keep making a positive difference in the lives of others.

The idea of voting for the lesser of two evils is the most foolish thing I have ever heard or in the least in lock step with it. Assuming we accept the narrative of American exceptionalism and that we are all of the great things that people speak of. How do we reconcile that with the fact that the final two candidates who are supposed to represent the best of what this country (corporation) has to offer is relegated to one the lesser of two evils? As I am writing this in 2019 Drumpf lost by the largest margin in history to Killary, but the electoral college chose him anyway, so where does the voting for the lesser of two evils come into place! How did Drumpf winning become such a major threat to black folks as Dyson would put it? Dyson is bought and paid for and I don't see him putting the same fervor now against abolishing the electoral college. PEACE!

Yet another cowardly Hillary supporter, who can't wait to surrender so that he can surrender again in another four years, and another four after that, and four later, until he is in a habit of surrender. However, we're starting to get arrests for election fraud, and a Chinese billionaire was arrested for bribery and will be questioned about his role in helping the Clintons violate campaign finance laws. If they're willing to arrest a billionaire for mere bribery, how long can Hillary stay above the law? If Hillary goes down, the cowards will have to vote for a decent candidate if they want to stop Trump. Though most likely they'd just switch to Trump instead.

@@garfieldharrison510 he's using way more words than necessary and using seldom used words to sound more intelligent. Good speakers speak plainly

[@garfieldharrison510]

@@edwinamendelssohn5129 Do you say that about Obama. He's a master of words. I use robust words as well. I love the fact he's a wordsmith. Nothing wrong with that. He's also a lover of Hiphop. Words. It's not showing off. Do you also say that about White folks who kind of speak properly. That's Dyson's niche. It's inspiring actually. Plain is to mundane. I disagree with you vehemently about that. It's not the words that make you intelligent. It's your actions.

[@marthacmd]

the Princeton Prof won this argument hands down-

[@coreynimons7920]

I love this debate!!!!!!......lol

[@JSRene-gb7lt]

Dr.Glaude is the Better intellect because he is a better man. He won’t sell his soul for a party.

[@SS-rh9wc]

2 brilliant minds

[@MsFreethepeople]

I'm with Eddie Glaude all the way. I have never nor will I EVER vote for the lesser of two evils. I have morals that I stand by....And this means I do not reward evil with a vote...no matter WHAT party they affiliate!

[@1stTHINGS1stZINX]

@ MsFreethepeople I like your thinking. Our vote is leverage and power, and it should be highly esteemed, cherished, and guarded no less than we esteem and guard our integrity. Give me the Eddie Glaude’s of the world. Love his philosophy, integrity, and strategy. ‘The lesser of two evils’ philosophy has failed, for what, almost two centuries now! The whole act and idea of choosing ‘the less of two evils’ is unadulterated self contradiction. Can you imagine it, “I hate you less than this guy hates you, vote for me.”! Death is better than a vote for either of such ‘candidates.’ Glaude has substance and life in his words, Dyson only has words. Enough already! Down with the race and poverty pimps of the world... calling Michael Eric Dyson!

[@roykliffen9674]

his only argument to vote Hillary: stop Trump. It is a very sorry state of affairs to push a candidate in such a way; she is terrible, but Trump is worse

[@roykliffen9674]

***** Have you seen her VP-pick? And the outlines of the transitional team she's putting together? - very pro-TPP - very pro-Fracking - very pro-Wall Street - very against net-neutrality I'm sure Clinton is behind the scenes pushing Obama to sign TPP in the lame-duck session, so she can claim innocence. She is pivotting to the very right, and she knows she can, because people like you will vote for her regardless, just because you have been made to fear the Trump. Vote Clinton, and be prepared to spend the rest of your life in indentured servitude to the (international) corporations

[@truettadevil]

Very cowardly stance to vote from.

[@edgestar2470]

It will be very interesting how these two men feel today.

[@simplygoz3320]

Eddie Glaude... always brilliant!

[@coleyounger3701]

Always.

[@nattyp7801]

That’s why WE need our own Media outlets,that have our concerns at HEART!!!!

[@DesirelessnessJF]

Preachers talk fast but say little

[@batgirlp5561]

Eddie won this argument, but in retrospect, everyone should have worked to keep trump out. Dyson was right.

[@frankwhite7805]

Bottom line was Hillary or Trump if you didn’t vote for Hillary You was the one helped put trump in the White House bottom line You helped

[@johngraves9720]

yup, dr. dyson said that.

[@genekingsmen2019]

Love the verbal intellect sparring !!! I can listen all day

[@thejourneyofsuccess3950]

I'll take Hillary over Donald any day. Trump is not morally inclined to assume the position of president in a America where 50% of minorities are in a stagnant conditions in a socioeconomically arena.

[@jamesgibson3716]

Trump is repugnant, but so is Clinton.

[@dgmessenger]

How did that work out?? Jobs are booming for African Americans. Highest employment rate in decades. Oh well, nut jobs here spouting insipid and broken socialist ideas and class warfare. Divide and conquer. The highest priority of the left.

[@MJ-wi7oo]

Are you an illegal alien?

[@Lance_Thorpe_Esq.]

I'M WITH EDDIE!!!

[@truettadevil]

I had to fast forward through Dyson's soliloquy. Arrogant, long-winded responses are about his own ego, not conductive to conversation.

[@Globalfaction]

Trump or Clinton within the context of Capitalism, white god complex and fiat currency makes no difference.

[@melaninmonroe654]

EDDIE GLAUDE for President!! 😂😂😂😂

[@deedee3lng882]

It’s such a beautiful thing when you heat two African Americans men are able to agree/disagree on such an important state in which there’s no hard feelings. When you know what you are talking about respect and understanding has a place! No harm, no foul. Thank you both for telling your people the truth about politics. Go blessed, and please continue, to share the true of “white politics “!

[@dtb8041]

Eddie Glaude owned Michael Dyson

[@kerryjackson226]

If Brother Eddie didn’t make you proud this day you’ve been propagandized

[@dweber4]

100% w eddie

[@Lance_Thorpe_Esq.]

At the end of the day I LOVE the tenor of this disagreement. Informed Passionate Discussion!!
