African-American Professor Says Trump is Engaging in 'Retroactive Bigotry'
Fox News ^ | May 1, 2011

A Georgetown University professor said Donald Trump is engaging in "retroactive bigotry" when he questions President Obama’s intelligence and background and called on Republicans to either embrace Trump or distance themselves.

"This is racism by inference," Eric Dyson, a prominent African-American academic, said on CBS' “Face the Nation.” “Skepticism about black intelligence and suspicion about black humanity have gone hand in hand throughout the history of this country in feeding the perception that black people don't quite measure up."

“The reality is that Barack Obama has been called to account by a man who has nothing near the intellectual credibility or the social standing that the president has,” Dyson said during the interview.

On Friday, Trump called “our leaders” stupid. The real estate mogul has also questioned Obama’s college record.

Dyson said, “We (African-Americans) are constantly questioned as to our legitimacy - whether we belong or not - and Barack Obama is our big brother in that case. ... An assault on him is an assault on everybody."

Quite right, and well noted.

Perhaps curiously (but definitely hilariously), were it to be actually "racism by inference", this idiot would be calling **himself** out as racist, for it is he who is drawing the inference here.

If so, that’s a huge mistake by the Antiamerican Party. The other side has most of the firepower.

Not Racist at all. If you can’t stand on your record, you have not record to stand on. If you can’t be judged on the content of your character, then you have no content to be judged on.

This so-called ‘professor’ is completely clueless. Questions regarding Zero’s scholastic qualifications, or lack thereof, is just one of many end results of decades of affirmative action.

Dyson obviously thinks that Obama was poor student and his records would be embarrassing. Otherwise, Dyson would favor releasing those records.

Eric Dyson, a prominent African-American academic...

Hey Eric, you are an IDIOT. The country has become bankrupted by hate profiteers and the coffers are empty. Hate never filled an empty plate or produced one uplifting moment. GET a productive life. But in the event you cannot leave the subject of 'hate' it would serve you well to find out what exactly it is the Heavenly Father HATES, after all HE is the Creator and He controls everything He chooses to control... What goes around comes around and we have just about hit the 180 degree mark.
