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."

In large measure because of Colin Kaepernick, a new made-in-America American flag flies over the fhayek residence. I didn’t have one. Always meant to have one. Now I do. Put it up this afternoon. I encourage everyone to boldly, proudly, fly your flag. We have to start pushing back. Bigly.
I compare Colin K to Benedict A.
This is what pases for “scholarship, journalism.” Pure unadulterated crap. These clowns should be ashamed of themselves, but they have no morality, no shame.
My 13 star American flag goes up tomorrow on the 4th as it has for a number of years (see my profile).
I now understand that you can't assume. You have to stand up and push back. The silent majority has to speak up. And fast. A nation is at stake.
Right now I have a Liberty Flag flying....
These people need to be ignored by patriotic Americans. Just don’t talk about this crazy, hateful stuff. We don’t live in the 1700s, 1800s or the 1950s and 60s anymore.
Would agree except I believe Colin K is totally worthless and a waste of space. Benedict Arnold began as someone George Washington credited with victories. A brief bio summarized:
Early in the Revolutionary War General George Washington came to admire the military capabilities of Benedict Arnold. Arnold’s brave actions at Quebec, Lake Champlain, and Saratoga won him many well-deserved battlefield laurels. But Arnold’s transformation from war hero to turncoat would also earn him the eternal enmity of Washington by war's end.
Still know what you mean. Colin K is a traitor and a p.o.s.
Guess he was fine with the flag when Obama was showing it off during his 2013 Inauguration..OOPSIE
These people can kiss my ass. I for one am tried of these people. I will not tolerate this anymore. I will react to these idiots in a violent manner. It has got to end no matter what the cost.
Dyson is a racist from waaaaaay back.
Mr. Dyson is an @$$. Always has been.
Smarmy little bitch.

My work puts me in constant contact with foreign-born people. They miss things about their homelands, but I never hear them bitch about this country like a lot of our native-born dreck does. (I will not refer to the dreck as American.) Pretty much all of them are very happy to be here.
