The liberal ladies of ABC’s The View are supposed to be all about promoting and sticking up for their fellow women, but their support has proven largely to fall along party lines. Much was the case on Tuesday’s episode as they helped far-left Vanderbilt University professor and prolific race-baiter Michael Eric Dyson defend sending Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC) unsolicited, flirty text messages, and suggest she was a racist in the process.
On the show to promote his new far-left book, faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin played a soundbite of a confrontation on CNN between Dyson and Mace where the former suggested that latter was a racist for mispronouncing Vice President Kamala Harris’s name.
Farah Griffin then decried Mace for going public with unsolicited and flirty messages Dyson sent Mace talking about her looks. “So, because we live in the crazy year of 2024, she then later accused you of sending her flirty texts which she entered into the congressional record. Can you clear this up for us, professor?” she teed up her guest to defend himself with no criticism or push back.
“Let's look at a little background. I'm a preacher so I know sin. My own and others. Right? Nobody’s perfect,” Dyson proclaimed with an unearned righteousness. “I saw Whoopi yesterday talk about the fact in regard to Janet Jackson, people make mistakes and we have to acknowledge that.”
Dyson proceeded to argue that the messages he sent about her looks were totally fine because they’re “peers” and there was no “power imbalance”:
Number two as a professor, I've seen things evolve over space and time. What you could say 20 years ago can't say today, not because you're suddenly wrong but the temper of the times has changed. So, if you acknowledge a woman's beauty, then there’s a power imbalance, there is a problem there. But peer-to-peer, a different story. Still cautious, but different.
“Then thirdly, let’s look at the politics. We're living in a toxic culture where there’s a cancel culture gotcha. We’re not trying to elevate, we’re trying to eviscerate,” he whined.
In a nasty and condescending tone, he said: “So, when it comes to Nancy Mace, you see, I tried to be nice the woman. I said you're a wonderful woman, I lied.” Later adding: “I wasn't flirting with you. I was trying to be flattering to you.”
Despite the fact that Dyson’s comments on CNN alluded to the insult that she was a racist, Farah Griffin claimed he didn’t suggest such a thing, and he proceeded to compare her to a dog:
DYSON: I then said – but – but I tried to be nice to her. And then 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!
FARAH GRIFFIN: And you never did. I was watching.
DYSON: I never did. I think Shakespeare said ‘the lady doth too much’ or in the hood, we say, ‘a hit dog will holler.
None of The View ladies shared how they would feel getting such messages.
Unironically, he followed up by once again suggesting Mace was a racist, this time getting agreement from moderator Whoopi Goldberg:
DYSON: So, the point is, that – that this woman has now depended upon – like her inspiration Donald Trump – a racist trope, the black brute seeks the innocent white woman –
WHOPPI GOLDBERG: That’s right! That’s right!
DYSON: -- and now I'm seeking lasciviously to approach her. I didn't call her names and acknowledged her humanity.

Goldberg is a hypocrite on this issue of pronouncing names correctly and it being a matter of respecting someone’s humanity. She refuses to say former President Trump’s name and spits on the floor when she slips up. She’s even attacked his grandchild and demanded he not be humanized.
Further in the interview, staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host Sunny Hostin – who’s the descendant of slave owners, yet claims she’s entitled to reparations – teed up Dyson to call for reparations (Click “expand”):
HOSTIN: Do things seen, in your view, particularly unfinished at this moment.
DYSON: That’s a great point. Yes, yes, they do, because we fought time and again after reconstruction, after 12 years of progress, the white backlash was vicious.
HOSTIN: Yeah.
DYSON: And the only people at that time who got reparations were white slave owners who complained that they were now without their black help.
HOSTIN: Property.
As further evidence of how degenerate the purported “Christian minister” was, here’s how he described the debate between Harris and Trump: “I ain't seen no Haitians eating no dogs and cats, but I saw a black woman eating a white ass on television!”

[Video from CNN]
MICHAEL ERIC DYSON: That's the history and legacy of white disregard for the humanity of black people.
REP. NANCY MACE (R-SC): So, now you're calling me a racist?
DYSON: I didn’t say that.
MACE: That’s BS. That’s complete BS.
[Transition]
MACE: Kamala Harris –
[Entire CNN panel jumps down her throat for mispronouncing “Kamala”]
[Crosstalk]
[Cuts back to live]
ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: So, because we live in the crazy year of 2024, she then later accused you of sending her flirty texts which she entered into the congressional record. Can you clear this up for us, professor?
DYSON: Absolutely. Well, first of all, it’s great to be here with you wonderful women. The thing is, is that – Let's look at a little background. I'm a preacher so I know sin. My own and others. Right? Nobody’s perfect. I saw Whoopi yesterday talk about the fact in regard to Janet Jackson, people make mistakes and we have to acknowledge that.
Number two as a professor, I've seen things evolve over space and time. What you could say 20 years ago can't say today, not because you're suddenly wrong but the temper of the times has changed. So, if you acknowledge a woman's beauty, then there’s a power imbalance, there is a problem there. But peer-to-peer, a different story. Still cautious, but different.
Then thirdly, let’s look at the politics. We're living in a toxic culture where there’s a cancel culture gotcha. We’re not trying to elevate, we’re trying to eviscerate.
So, when it comes to Nancy Mace, you see, I tried to be nice the woman.
[Laughter]
I said you're a wonderful woman, I lied.
[Laughter]
I then said – but – but I tried to be nice to her. And then 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!
FARAH GRIFFIN: And you never did. I was watching.
DYSON: I never did. I think Shakespeare said ‘the lady doth too much’ or in the hood, we say, ‘a hit dog will holler.
[Laughter]
So, the point is, that – that this woman has now depended upon – like her inspiration Donald Trump – a racist trope, the black brute seeks the innocent white woman –
WHOPPI GOLDBERG: That’s right! That’s right!
DYSON: -- and now I'm seeking lasciviously to approach her. I didn't call her names and acknowledged her humanity.
(…)
11:45:27 a.m. Eastern
DYSON: I think that he [GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson (NC)] needs to debate Kamala Harris. I ain't seen no Haitians eating no dogs and cats, but I saw a black woman eating a white ass on television!
(…)
11:50:34 a.m. Eastern
SUNNY HOSTIN: Do things seen, in your view, particularly unfinished at this moment.
DYSON: That’s a great point. Yes, yes, they do, because we fought time and again after reconstruction, after 12 years of progress, the white backlash was vicious.
HOSTIN: Yeah.
DYSON: And the only people at that time who got reparations were white slave owners who complained that they were now without their black help.
HOSTIN: Property.
DYSON: So now, you know, they denied us the right to vote. And not just black people. We talk -- In this book, we talk about women, we talk about Latinas, we talk about Asian brothers and sisters. We talk across the board.
Which is why, again, when I said white Christians I meant white evangelical Christians, I’m not talking about all – I'm a Christian minister myself. So, I ain't hatin’. 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.
