As the Biden administration openly admits to using Big Tech as their censor by proxy, it’s worth reminding that our current society isn’t fair to the opposition.
During the former Trump administration, Michael Eric Dyson laid out the “Trump is a white supremacist” narrative before he was even elected. He continued to push the claims without evidence up through the inauguration, and openly opposed the legitimacy of the White House on national television.
All things that the Biden administration says are off-limits. But certain ideologues are immune from scrutiny.
In late June, professor Dyson called Trump supporters “maggots” on-air during an MSNBC segment. He apologized the next day saying he was “trying to be cute and clever.”
Rewind to August 2018, Dyson used Aretha Franklin’s funeral to deny the 2016 election results and go on a rant against the previous administration. Something I was told is taboo.
“To President Clinton and her husband Bill,” Michael Eric Dyson said before starting on his tirade against former President Trump.

“Then this orange apparition had the nerve to say she worked for him. You lugubrious leach, you dopey doppelganger of deceit and deviance, you lethal liar, you dimwitted dictator, you foolish fascist, She didn’t work for you, she worked above you. She worked beyond you. Get your preposition right.”
Dyson labeled Donald Trump a white supremacist before he was even elected. When Trump did win, he denounced the “white working class” in a New York Times piece. Right before the inauguration he again stoked racial tensions.
"Michael Eric Dyson Wants to Provoke Just Enough White Anger" SFWeekly said at the time.
It was the same thing by the end of 2020. After the summer of George Floyd riots, he spoke to Esquire about playing the “activism long game.”
Michael Eric Dyson is a liberal establishment darling so he’s allowed to skirt controversy.
Late last year allegations of sexual harassment against Dyson resurfaced as Vanderbilt University hired him, regardless. His title? Centennial Chair and University Distinguished Professor of African American and Diaspora Studies in the College of Arts and Science and University Distinguished Professor of Ethics and Society.
A symbolic mouthful. A blog said the school “failed black women” for going through with this, given the claims against the professor. Some span back as far as decades ago.
An anonymous student spoke with The Georgetown Voice last month and provided details about Dyson’s reputation.
"According to the student, sixty-two-year-old Dyson attempted to use his status and connections to establish a relationship outside of the classroom. The student alleged repeated private dinner invitations off campus, personal text messages, and incidents of unwanted physical touch and proximity—including invasions of personal space and an instance of Dyson massaging the student in class. When she offered to meet Dyson during office hours instead, according to the student, he insisted on private conversations outside an academic setting."
If you want the professor to take these claims seriously, don't expect the establishment press to do any digging.
