MSNBC Host: GOP Refuses to Work With President Obama Because of ‘Negrophobia’

Georgetown University professor and MSNBC regular Michael Eric Dyson during a Tuesday broadcast of “Now With Alex Wagner” said that Republicans would continue to block and obstruct President Obama’s agenda because of racism.

It can’t be that they disagree with the president’s policies. It can’t be that they disagree with his political worldview. It can’t be that they are simply responding to the will of their constituents.

“Never underestimate the visceral intensity or the poetic allure of negrophobia,” Dyson told the panel. “They are completely committed to that. That’s what Obama is facing.”

Watch the video via MSNBC/Mediaite below:

Outside of Bloomberg’s Josh Greene’s somewhat surprised reaction, the “negrophobia” comment went unchallenged.

Exit Question: MSNBC strives to “reflect” its viewers’ world, network president Phil Griffin said last week in an interview with Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher.

Naturally, this would involve hiring and scheduling guests who, apparently, speak to the network’s audience.

But if people like prof. Dyson are brought in only to assert the supposed racism of the GOP, which is really all he does, then does this mean that MSNBC’s audience is equally obsessed with racial issues?

      I would not have believed that in my life time such ignorant comments would be allowed on the air. You have to have a pea sized brain to not realize that it is Obama’s agenda that is the problem. I guess when you are a progressive/communist all you have is to lie. God forgive these very stupid people on MSNBC.

      Do we really know he is mullato? Sure, he looks like it, but we have no idea who donated the sperm that created this monster. His mother certainly had a reputation for getting around. For all we know, the sperm donor was 1/4 black which makes our Marxist friend even less “black” than anyone would suggest. Hell, he might even be 1/32 Cherokee?!!?

      I have learned so much about myself over these past 5 years that I feel I owe the
      Progressive Communist legions such a debt of gratitude. If not for the likes of them
      I would possibly never have realized that Im dangerous, extremist, hateful, racist,
      unhinged, backwards, toothless, hick, intolerant, bitter, clinging, criminal, and
      probably a few others Ive forgotten for the moment.

      The truth be known, the problem is Commie-phobia, and for me that’s not pejorative. There are a number of Americans who understand the evil and tyranny that acceptance of communism necessarily brings. Many American patriots made the ultimate sacrifice to prevent communism from overtaking regions of this planet.

      You can try to hide your Marxist agenda behind claims that those who object are “racist” (read Frank Marshall Davis and learn who he is.) There will always be a fraction of the population who are aware of what you’re doing.

      I vote Republican. My spouse is east Asian. They have epicanthic folds, low nose bridge, flaring nostrils & big lips like many people of African ancestry. Our dislike of obmaa has nothing to do with race & everything to do with values, principles & policies. For these liberals, progressives to keep up the race baiting is going to lead to major problems. I won’t say anything specific, but all this blood libel will not pass unmarked.

      Scr/w it. This professor is losing his job, tenure or no tenure. The university will fire him. He has the right of free speech and he has the right to suffer for his actions in terms of employment.

      The Republican party is the party of Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Kelly Ayotte, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Deb Fischer & Tim Scott. That is just the senate. At least 2 of those senators are likely nominees for President. The Democrats know it & know that the supposedly racist whites will nominate them. So they are trying to dirty them up & take them out.

      ***
      “Epicanthic fold is typical in many peoples of Eastern Asia and is common among Central Asian populations. Epicanthic folds are characteristic of Bushmen populations in Southern Africa. It is also found in significant numbers among Indigenous Americans. Additionally, European ethnic groups that tend to have epicanthus relatively frequently are Scandinavians, Samis, Poles, Germans, the Irish and British” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicanthic_fold

      Prof. Dyson,
      to claim that political opponents of Pres. Obama are his opponents only because they are ‘racist’ is a cop-out and intellectually lazy at best. All the GOP that I’ve listened to and read what they had to say about the President’s agenda, had absolutely nothing to do with race and everything to do with Constitutionality, Personal Freedoms, the Economy and Jobs. Simply because they present a different approach to handling the problems this country faces, isn’t a valid reason to Label them as being Racist. It smacks of the Nazi Gobbels method of labeling to destroy opponents.

      Tthe only racism here is that of the black professor. This seems to be nearly universal. It is so sad to see that all attempts to bring the races together are being thwarted by this ingrained and incessant hatred of others due to the color of their skin. I thought we were rising above that. Apparently that is a pipe dream.

    Riiight. Because he has statistically more melanin in his skin than others (and less than others maybe?), therefore we decide policy based on that. Uh-huh.

    Yeesh. When is humanity going to grow up? I say it’s racist that THEY focus on his skin color. Genetically it’s proven now that “racial” characteristics make up less than the differences between individuals. Why don’t they say that we disagree with him because he’s tall instead of short? A skinny head versus a wide one? The shape of his chin?

    Why pick skin color? Who’s really the racists?

    Ever notice how, when Democrat Liberals can’t get others to agree with them on something, they always revert to calling them a phobic of some sort. Moto of the Democrat Party “If you can’t beat them fairly, get them to agree with you, or otherwise pull the wool over their eyes, then throw a little baby fit, get nasty and call them names to discredit them.

    The race hustlers are not going to go quietly…America has moved so far beyond where Dyson, Sharpton, Jackson, et. al are coming from that they don’t sense their own irrelevance. As long as there is good money to be made by stirring the racial pot these gangsters will be part of our culture. Fortunately their audience is fading just like they are. Good riddance to them all, I’m sure there is a welfare check at the end of their rainbow when no one listens any longer.

    I have to tell you that your Marxist president isn’t black,I know I know it’s a shock to you fools but Barry is in fact mulatto. When you can’t get something as simple as that correct everything you say is suspect. Not only for your idiotic position but for everything you say. The race card is worn out you affirmative action POS but keep playing it because it’s worked brilliantly so far because of the sheer number of idiots who believe your BS. Your fraud president couldn’t get his own party to vote for a budget he submitted so you can’t say the “R’s are obstructionist,save it for the fools who’ll believe anything that comes out of Barrys mouth they’ll believe anything.Barrys a gun grabbing traitorous Marxist intent on ending capitalism and trashing our constitution and bill of rights,that’s why I want to see him impeached and thrown in prison where he belongs.

    “Negrophobia”? If this were true, which, of course it is not, in obama’s case it would have to be “mulattophobia” – because, as we know, obama is mulatto (the first-generation offspring of a black person and a white person) – not *****. Dyson is a typical, uninformed, and apparently uneducated, racist, looking for attention.
