Jason WhitlockHOST
And so if you wanna know why Ryan Clark came to ESPN and did his, uh, decade-long, uh, Dr. Umar Johnson shtick, it's because Stephen A. made it look very, very profitable.
Jason WhitlockHOST
If you wanna know why Shannon Sharpe came over to FS1 at first and did his Malcolm X shtick, and, and they would bring on Michael Eric Dyson and play the race card at every turn, and they all pretended like, uh, Colin Kaepernick was, uh, the, the daughter of, of Medgar Evers and, uh, Angela Davis, or Martin Luther King and Angela Davis.
Jason WhitlockHOST
Put a little, uh, fake Afro on Colin Kaepernick, and these guys all ran behind Kaepernick for years selling his fraudulent act.
Jason WhitlockHOST
It's because that, that, that, that's what Stephen A. wrought.
Jason WhitlockHOST
... and I'm sure, Shannon Sharpe, you go back to Undisputed and the kinds of things Shannon talked about on Undisputed with Skip Bayless.

Michael WearGUEST
And You don't need to be around black music for very long until you're introduced to the black church and black Christianity and sort of the social conscious of that music.
Michael WearGUEST
And so an exciting night for me growing up was Watching the State of the Black Union, which was an annual event that Tavis Smiley used to put on and listening to Michael Eric Dyson and Cornel West.
Michael WearGUEST
And so that was all formative.
Michael WearGUEST
And I think because I had that line, when I became a Christian myself, I was also familiar with this deeply civic perspective.
Boyce WatkinsHOST
And when I first started as a public scholar, as a public intellectual, I was talking to my brother about it.

Kristin DiggsGUEST
Even though in the Christian tradition, pride is considered one of the seven deadly sins.
Kristin DiggsGUEST
Interestingly, um, one contemporary theologian, Michael Eric Dyson, said, "Of the seven deadly sins, pride is the only one with a virtuous side." Acknowledging pride's complexity.
Kristin DiggsGUEST
In reading the news in the last few days, um, what I've been most struck by is reports regarding basically obstruction, denial of free speech, um, specifically reports about major American news outlets being denied long-standing access to the White House on the basis of their kind of coverage, the kind of coverage they offer on the basis of their speech, their written language.
Kristin DiggsGUEST
Another piece that caught my eye, uh, just this morning, um, for a related reason, was a piec-piece about a major social media platform, who shall remain unnamed, that owns two of the most popular international social media platforms that I imagine most people in this room are quite familiar with and probably have even used today, if not in the last couple of days, and they too will remain unnamed.
Carlos LozadaGUEST
So I, there was, I was reading another book.
Carlos LozadaGUEST
I was reading a book by a writer named Michael Eric Dyson, teaches at Georgetown, writes about black politics a lot.
Carlos LozadaGUEST
And he, at one point he said that, I think it was, I think he was referring to that famous moment when Obama said, if I had a son, he would look like Trayvon, look like Trayvon Martin.
Carlos LozadaGUEST
And I think, don't quote me.

Jay MottyHOST
If you could pick a fictional character to be Man United manager, who would you pick? Mine would be Samuel L.
Jay MottyHOST
Jackson's character from Pulp Fiction.
Boyce WatkinsHOST
That name means nothing to anybody.
Boyce WatkinsHOST
So maybe I should go connect with Michael Eric Dyson, because he's somebody.
