Can you guess why people would say it's inappropriate to sent a flirty, obvious pick-up text to a woman you're not married to, despite being married?
Despite you having called that same woman a racist and white supremacist hours before?
I think you can guess.
I mean. Come on. That's just racism straight-up. That's crazytalk squared.
Author Michael Eric Dyson doubled down on his heated on-air clash last month with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., insisting during a Tuesday appearance on "The View" that he "tried to be nice" to the Republican congresswoman while calling her out for mispronouncing Vice President Kamala Harris' name.
"I tried to be nice to the woman," Dyson said after arguing that times have changed with regard to what people can say to others. "I said, 'You're a wonderful woman' -- I lied -- but I tried to be nice to her and even when I pointed out to her what the repetition of the misnaming of Kamala Harris would do she got defensive, 'Oh, you're calling me a racist.' No."
Actually you called her a gorgeous woman, then said "we look good together" (wink) and then sent a winky emoji and a kissy face emoji.
During a clash on CNN in August, Dyson told Mace, who had mispronounced Harris' first name during the segment, that she was part of the history of disregarding the "humanity of Black people."
...
Dyson called Mace a "bigot" after she raised the text messages during the congressional hearing.
"The ridiculous lies told by Nancy Mace in the effort to smear my name because of her anger at being checked for her insensitive disregard for @VP... I had no intent with her to do anything but be nice," he wrote on X. "And her White women's tears and mendacity are all in the service of lies and distortions. I was wrong about one thing: she IS a bigot and racist."
On "The View" Tuesday, Dyson identified Mace as a "White Christian" and claimed, "White Christians hate themselves for the past wrongs that have been done, and I'm here as a loving Christian to say, let's grapple with that past, acknowledge the historic legacy of supremacy, don't deny it, don't erase it, don't eviscerate it."
Dyson reiterated his comments about "White Christians" during another segment later in the show and responded to Mace's claims of him sending her flirtatious messages.
"When I said White Christians, I meant White evangelical Christians. I'm a Christian minister myself, so I ain't hating. And this is why I try to extend a compliment to Nancy Mace. I wasn't flirting with you. I was trying to be flattering to you," he said.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg chimed in and said that Dyson could explain it all he wanted to, but that Mace would never understand.
He went on The View to claim she was pushing the racist trope of "the black brute" attempting to pick up "the innocent white woman."
He says he "tried to be nice to the woman."
Yeah I bet you did.
He also called her a racist again, while claiming he hadn't called her a racist and wasn't calling her a racist now. Though he then said methinks she doth protest too much.
You know what that means, right, "professor"? That means you're saying she knows she's a racist so she's overly-aggressively denying it.
Biden also went on The View this week. There, he told America that despite her claims to the contrary, he's delegated power to Kamala Harris on "everything from foreign policy to domestic policy."
That's not really a Trump ad -- yet. This guy takes admissions from Biden and Harris and slaps a "I'm Donald Trump and I approved this message" on to make the point that they're running against their own record.
Whoopie said Trump was "like a bug" -- wait, didn't last month's op claim that Trump was calling illegal aliens "vermin" and that is "straight out of Mein Kampf"? -- and Biden encouraged assassins by then miming killing the "bug."
