let's talk to michael eric dyson, msnbc political analyst and professor of sociology at georgetown university. professor, good to have you with us. with so much hatred out there, this is a depressing story. you would think people would be celebrating this and moving the country forward. which brings me to the question, is there any chance of acceptance or is this just the way it's always going to be? >> well, among a certain, a minority of people, i think, ed, this will persist. the reality is is that a great swath if you will of american whites did cast a vote for barack obama. not the majority, to be sure. but enough to make a difference. because if you look at what got obama into office, if it was a sandwich, we'd call it ham on white. "h," hispanics and latinos. "a," african-americans. "m," the millennials. and white women. the old school, old style tradition of white men being central and dominant. whiteness is being dissipated. what's coming together is a collection of progressive whites along with latinos and african-americans and young people who are forging a connection to a broader

michael eric dyson is with us today from georgetown university. professor, you first. what are traditional american values. pretty generic question but pinpointing the answer was it. >> no doubt about it. i heard once a division that tradition is the living faith of dead men and women, and the traditional is the dead faith of living men and women. since he said traditional, it's the dead faith of men and women. this harkening back to a gold enera is predicated on the desire to control the president by pro jkting a past that never was what they claimed it was. when "father knew best" and american white men were at the helm of american society in television and beyond, women were abused and the silencing of minorities happened and there's an extraordinary inability of america to recognize freedom for everybody. for me, tradition is democracy, freedom, justice, equality, and the ability to project the best of the american spirit to the world. i believe in american traditions, just not the ones that bill o'reilly wants to celebrate. >> in your book you say ronald reagan li

sweet for chicago "sun-times" and msnbc political analyst professor michael eric dyson of georgetown university. professor dyson,fy might begin with you, perhaps the most hated moment in that press conference was the president's barely concealed anger that republicans have been attacking ambassador susan rice for the confusion surrounding the benghazi consulate attacks. this, as you know, has been the drum beat from republicans from the right wing media for weeks. do you think the president's response will do anything to silence the drums? >> unfortunately, not, martin, because it's part of an overall republican strategy to compensate for their loss. they're closing ranks around this particular issue, trying to find what they think are weaknesses and exploit them. i think this is a way of revenge, so to speak, of the republican leadership to try to get back at obama, first for winning, and then for being able to have a successful foreign policy that was supposedly from the beginning his weakness, but which has turned out to be one of his real strengths. so, unfortunately, all of this -- this co

ford, executive editor black agenda and michael eric dyson, the author and msnbc analyst and georgetown universityrofessor. >> the reality is, the american left will never be able to participate not simply in the pageantry of american politics and the light and airy stuff that conventions engage in, the fluff, may be true as his indicated, but the reality is, obama is as progressive a figure who has the chance of being elected in america. [indiscernible] if you ate in the game, miami heat is playing are talking about sports, the oklahoma thunder. it is not i preferred the los angeles lakers. this is the game we're talking about. if the american left cannot be involved in the actual practice of government to offer the critical insights that are available -- take 2000 when siding with ralph nader and an owl or who should of been president and would have prevented some of what we see happening now did not occur, the left one take responsibility for the fact the extraordinary intelligence of glen ford and many leftists notwithstanding, the reality is, his the most progressive president since fdr. >> t

let's turn to michael eric dyson, msnbc political analyst and associate at georgetown university.with us. with so much hatred still out there, this is a depressing story. it brings me to the question. is there any chance of acceptance or is this just the way it's always going to be? >> among a certain minority of peop people, i think this will persist. but the reality is that a great swath, if you will of american whites, did cast a vote for barack obama. enough to make a difference. if you look at what got obama into office, if it was a sandwich, we'd call it ham on white. so there's a coalition that's taking place in america that may be threat tong the old school, old style tradition of white men being central and dominant. whiteness is being dissipated and what's coming together is a collection of progressive whites along with latinos and african-americans and young people foraging a connection to a broader future and a bridge to a brighter possibility. but at the same time, it's discouraging when we see young people at the university of mississippi really serve up anew this ol

more we go to julian epstein, a democratic strategist and professor michael eric dyson of georgetown universitytical analyst. welcome to you both. professor dyson, the economy appears to be rebounding. gdp was better in the third quarter than we thought, up from 2% to 2.7%. and by one estimate new home sales this year will be up 8%, and yet conservatives advise us to place ideology first. now, do they realize what that could do to this country come january and that it will plunge the nation into a certain depression? >> martin, they realize it, but i'm afraid they don't care. the reality is -- >> do you really believe that, professor dyson? >> i absolutely do. i believe this, i believe they are so mon know maniacal about pursuing their ideological beliefs they would defer even the fate of this nation to their particular policies, to their particular public policy recommendations and to their particular politics and ideology. why would we believe anything different? every critical moment in the last two years they proved to be partisans to their particular politics. they're not patriots for the
