    Breathtaking priceless interview. We may be at a moment in time where our species may heavily invest in lessening the suffering of others. Such a valuing goal has been and continues to be difficult as we are plagued with leaders and with their enablers who are dead set on keeping their power through harming our species. May we see the toppling of harmful leaders and of their enablers and may we be a part of the empowering of all. ⚖️🌸

    He's a poser who adopts a persona cobbled together from the worst stereotypes of black culture in an attempt to hide his deep inadequacy as a person.

    ALL "minorities" and marginalized people have to be part of conversations -- just not this one. If we heal this we will have the template to heal the rest. AND I acknowledge that we must, we simply must call all the discrimination out.

    You not seeing it doesn't mean it didn't or doesn't happen. Having a few blacknfriends doesn't make racism invisible. If you were really their friend, you advocate against it instead of deflecting.

    @Goorpijp Wessel I see your fingers typing and mouth moving but you're not saying nothing. Dr. Dyson walked in the shoes of MLK. Spent years educating himself, how about you?

    @Goorpijp Wessel this same type of logic is a microcosm of a larger problem. Dyson didn't create it. He merely points it out and offers solutions that are beneficial, but only if you don't have an arrogant attitude. If you would listen carefully without the arrogance, you'd see Dr. Dyson is one of the greatest thinkers of these generations. Try that!
