sociology professor Michael Eric Dyson

Take what he says with a grain of salt ... he’s not a real professor .... he’s a sociology professor (aka social justice warrior).

I just heard on the Howie Carr show that Obama had two Betsy Ross flags as part of the decorations for his second inauguration - I wonder if Kaepernick or whatever it is was offended by that......

To me there are two very apparent observations from Dyson’s manure: 1, he has never been pinned down in a firefight in a hole because everyone there is red, white, and blue, and 2. He should never be allowed to teach or influence young adults on anything related to the real world as he has no knowledge of it.

Yes they are. I also think this is Dyson's sthick so that he keeps getting paid by NBC. He is the certified ‘bomb thrower’ who sparks the yelling , etc. to perk viewer interest.

Here from another source are some extended coverage of this well off turd:

MSNBC Guest Compares Betsy Ross Flag to Swastika, Burning Cross
‘Those symbols are symbols of hate’

David Rutz - JULY 3, 2019 11:30 AM
MSNBC guest Michael Eric Dyson compared the Betsy Ross American flag to the Nazi swastika and a burning Ku Klux Klan cross during an appearance Wednesday.

Nike canceled a release of shoes featuring the iconic flag with the 13 stars representing the original colonies, after former NFL quarterback and liberal activist Colin Kaepernick objected because it was “offensive.”

Dyson, a Georgetown University professor who frequently comments on racial issues from a left-wing perspective, defended the cancellation, citing its connection to the revolutionary period and that it was “deeply embroiled in enslavement.”

MSNBC anchor Hallie Jackson asked Dyson to address the argument that Nike's decision to pull the shoes was “PC culture run amok.”

“Words matter. Symbols matter, too,” Dyson said. “Why don't we wear a swastika for July 4th? Because, I don't know, it makes a difference. The cross burning on somebody’s lawn. Why don't we just have a Nike celebration of the cross—those symbols are symbols of hate. So we can take PC culture back.”

At both of Barack Obama’s inaugurations, the Betsy Ross flag was draped on the U.S. Capitol behind the president.

Dyson is no stranger to eyebrow-raising remarks concerning race. He compared Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to a traitorous Jew in 2013 when he voted down a provision of the Voting Rights Act.

“A symbolic Jew has invited a metaphoric Hitler to commit Holocaust and genocide upon his own people,” he said, in a remark that drew a swift rebuke from the Anti-Defamation League.

You’re right-— there are existing (or, as these clowns love to overuse the word— “existential”) examples of tyrannical communist/socialist states from which people craving freedom are desperately trying to escape.

Your words— because it pays— is quite correct. Georgetown has it’s extremely wealthy socialist (or maybe mostly the gibs me dats “scholarship” tuition types who are paying nothing to go there) students demanding the school pay “reparations” in the form of free education for blacks— because the school had donated “assets” way back of slaves and slave produced product funds... namely, Tobacco (the cash crop of VA that had to be manually harvested and processed- in NC still have to hand strip burley tobacco to make the twists for chewing tobacco— labor intensive still).

This clown is saying crap that gets him 1.) paid tv appearances by the apparatchiks of another slave state design they wish to impose (somehow forgetting the 100 million plus murdered by the forced unpaid labor camps of the Soviet Union gulag, North Korea- the hegemony client states of Communist China vs. the russian kgb oligarchy-, and the socialist republics of the former Soviet Union.
He is thus, frankly a “mouthpiece” who also gets attention for an otherwise unintelligent person with little to know real ability in a “non-science” bullcrap study of ... “sociology”. A “professor” who belongs, were it not for his special quota to avoid lawsuits- belongs as a hospital social worker.

That plate and the Gadsden are two major considerations for a few cohorts/buddies for moving TO Virginia to change the dang demographics.

the problem is N. VA Beltway diaspora— the megalopolis of tract homes, condo-maniums and sprawl into the hamlets of N. VA from Alexandria to Fairfax alone— is populated with 100k a year GUBmint federal jobbers (not counting the military which is arguably higher percentage not Leftist, or was), all eating out of useless ever expanding bureaucracies— that essentially get in the regular people of the country-— “out here”— get in their war, power by regulation, not Law! And of course their appointed judiciary. We have to continue to stop this generational spread. Show them the way. But it is why N. VA “delivered” hitlery’s man McAulliffe and the current moron Northam (mr. duality— fake liberal, actual Sen. Byrd type. Would be far more refreshing if they just were who they were and not be CRYPTO -conservative libs... as such.

Not forgetting that obamaumao insisted at... hahhhhvard or somewhere academic (yale?) that all Christian crosses on the wall (the wooden carved crosses) be COVERED and not be seen on the filming of his “brilliant”... and EMPTY of anything but more Alinsky muzzie shiite (and... give away Cloward Piven destruction of the social support networks).

Cover the Crosses-— from... an ostensible Christian who was and is in fact a muslim/neoMarxist/Liberation theology=== half a@@. And Karmelo thinks she is the female of this.
BTW— as regards slavery— obamaumao’s ancestors, on both sides of his ostensible parentage (Stanley Dunham’s and the Kenayn obama, who was a Jomo Kenyatta Mau Mau for real)— Both sides were major Slavers, that is, IN the slave trade in 1600’s Afric and in the English Empire (on the white half). This was never discussed during the “campaign”.

That was also at Georgetown.

Getting offended for the sake of getting offended, for fun and profit. Kinda like emotional meth. It gives one a temporary feeling of empowerment, but once that “high” wears off the need for subsequent “fixes” become progressively more insatiable. What a sad, pathetic, self destructive way to go through life.

Amazing considering the BDS-holes among them are OK with Holocaust denial.

The light skinned ones are not accepted as really “black” so they have to spend their lives convincing people they are.
