Michael Eric Dyson is the guest on this
week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. He is a Professor of
Sociology at Georgetown University and the author of many books including What Truth Sounds Like: Robert F.
Kennedy, James Baldwin, and Our Unfinished Conversation About Race in America
Dr. Dyson is also a frequent guest on Real
Time with Bill Maher as well CNN, MSNBC, and NPR.
During this episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show, Professor Dyson and Chauncey discuss the
crisis in moral leadership and values which birthed Donald Trump's presidency,
how right-wing Christians helped to conceive this wholesale abandonment of
democracy and dignity, and how whiteness and white privilege have (again)
undermined the common good--and yes, how such values also hurt white people. Professor
Dyson and Chauncey also discuss the burden that black and brown people have to
save American democracy from white racism and those individuals and forces such
as Donald Trump and his white rage-filled supporters.
In this week's episode, Chauncey DeVega
ponders the alpha male bromance between Donald Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong
Un, Trump's Fox News madness and threats against Americans who are not
sufficiently "loyal". Chauncey is also enraged by the wicked evil that is how Trump's regime
is breaking up families at the Mexican-U.S. border and explains the reckoning that is
coming to America.
