I don’t think so. I think he comes off as a smart guy who wants to try to explain some pretty damn complex concepts to ordinary people. Most dudes like him don’t have any desire to engage with normal folks much less try to educate them. I appreciate his efforts. The world can only benefit from raising the IQ level of the average Alabama fan.

for example:
there is nothing uppity about that. it's just a dick move
oh god this GOT one (warning: spoilers) is even worse

Remember back in the day when your friends would encourage you to talk to "that girl" by simply saying, "Just ask, what's the worst that could happen? She says no?"
Well...
Well...

I'd guess he's a fan of the show. Quips like this are his way of engaging with his audience abt science. He's attempting to invoke critical thinking

Its funny how the default opinion of this board isn't to wait and see....Nah..this guy, black, liberal....totally guilty. Take him off TV! Put this monster in jail!

In December, another woman came forward in a Buzzfeed News story that claims Tyson drunkenly propositioned her at a 2010 staff holiday party at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, where he serves as director of the Hayden Planetarium.

The vast majority of people are saying that the claims are likely bulkshit, with a few posts about him sounding like a douche liberal.
Go make your claims of racism on the poliboard.

Tyson drugged and raped her while they were grad students in the astrophysics program at the University of Texas in the 1980s.

This came out several months ago and he responded strongly.
I saw his response as well. It was through his Facebook page I believe. The woman claiming he raped her was someone he dated briefly in college. He said he had no idea why she was making this claim but that it was false. She has a blog, and if you read through it it's fairly obvious she's crazy. Had stuff on there about planets talking to her through crystals, etc... The groping incident was at a meet and greet photo shoot where he touched a woman's arm while looking at her tattoo. It was a sleeve of the galaxy. There are actually pictures out there of this "grope", and he's literally just holding her arm, and the woman is smiling the whole time. He wasn't exactly moving his hand up her dress going for her hoo-ha as some in the media have made it out to be. The other accusation was from his production assistant. He invited her to his place for wine and cheese after filming was done prior to some social function they were going to. She agreed and he said she was perfectly fine the whole time she was over and that it was all professional. The next day she came in his office and said this made her uncomfortable, for which he apologized and assured her he meant nothing by it. Crazy thing is he claimed this assistant was a hugger, and that he always refused her hugs and told her he preferred handshakes instead so that no-one would confuse the hugs for something sexual.

His claims may have value if we look at some of the comments here....
"Black Science Man is in trouble: Neil deGrasse Tyson’s show pulled amid allegations"
"black men have needs too"
"Thanks liberals. Now where the hell are we going to find another token black physicist? They don’t grow on trees ya know"
"Where da white womenz at !!!!"
"People don’t think bitches be like they is, but they do."
"Damn ! Cosby and now Mr. Tyson. They taking all the good educated black men."
