On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Georgetown Professor Michael Eric Dyson stated, “many white brothers and sisters have been sold a bill of goods: At least you’re not a negro. So that overlords and captains of industry, who exploit the working class who are white, tell them, yes, we’re screwing you, but at least you’re not a black person.”

Dyson said, “And so, the reality is, many white brothers and sisters have been sold a bill of goods: At least you’re not a negro. So that overlords and captains of industry, who exploit the working class who are white, tell them, yes, we’re screwing you, but at least you’re not a black person. If they would get rid of the bigotry and racism, and we could come together and forge a connection, we could turn this mother out.”
