Prof. Dyson: ‘I Deeply and Profoundly Apologize’ for Calling Trump Fans ‘Maggots’
EXCERPT:
DYSON: “You know what strikes me, though, miss Nicolle, is the fact black people have to bear the brunt of white rage, of white hostility. I, myself, the other day — let me apologize on this program. I was trying to be cute and clever when I was talking about MAGA, therefore MAGAets, not maggots. I didn’t anticipate that brothers and sisters who are white would hear it as that. So I deeply and profoundly apologize for that. But I have been hit with an onslaught of death threats and being called the n-word out of white rage for a mistake I made for which I am willing to apologize certainly. And what black people are often up against is the fact that we have to be told that emotion will not judge, will not lead our offering of justice to you. Emotion will not drive, or a statement to be made to the American public will not drive what we do legally. And yet so much emotion is directed at us, so much hatred is directed at us. So much white rage is directed at us.”
