Michael Eric Dyson hears Rep.Joe Wilson say "Uppity N"

LAUER: Michael, did you hear "You lie boy!" in that comment from Joe Wilson?

DYSON: That and a lot more. "You uppity 'n'!" and so on. Here's the point, Matt.

LAUER: You really heard that?

DYSON: Well, well, obviously I didn't physically hear that, but the implication, the inference..........

DYSON: And it's, it amazes me that white Americans are incapable of acknowledging what is before our faces and the reality is that we have to deal with the racial animus that undergirds and underlies American public discourse-

It amazes me that Dyson hears things that are not there.
