MSNBC Should Fire Melissa Harris-Perry
Melissa Harris-Perry who clearly has more Caucasian dna in her
genetic makeup than Mariah Carey or Beyonce’ has a nasty habit of letting her
racist views intentionally and unintentionally creep into her “news” commentary
on MSNBC.
For those and for her latest exhibition of black racism, she should be sent packing.
Long recognized as a racist by objective observers, the thirty seven year old Harris-Perry has caught quite a bit of well-deserved flak for ridiculing the family of former Massachusetts Governor and 2012 GOP nominee for president Mitt Romney solely because his son and daughter-in-law adopted an African-American child.
Specifically, on her program last Sunday, MH-P featured a Romney family photo which included the newest member of the clan, Kieran Romney, the adopted African-American baby son of Ben and Andee Romney, seated front and center on Grandpa Mitt’s lap.
Any rational individual would have regarded the picture as simply one showing a wholesome, happy group. However, MH-P irrationally seized the opportunity to steer her guests on the eponymous “Melissa Harris-Perry” show toward shamefully mocking the photo, the Romney family, and therefore little Kieran himself.
To black supremacists like Harris-Perry, curiously a product of a diverse Mormon family, such adoptions must apparently pollute pure, black blood and are probably perceived as worse than black rapists attacking and impregnating innocent white girls.
Black actress panelist Pia Glenn launched into parody: “One of these things [the thing being Kieran] is not like the others, one of these things just isn’t the same.” Arab-American comedian Dean Obeidallah followed by sarcastically joking, “I think this picture is great. It really sums up the diversity of the Republican party, the RNC. At the convention, they find the one black person” (i.e., as a showpiece.)
Harris-Perry then added her own witticism when she laughingly speculated on a future marriage between Romney’s grandson and Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s mixed-race daughter, North West.
For his part, Romney graciously forgave MH-P the day after her apology saying to Fox News’ Chris Wallace, “Let me first note, Chris, we love this little guy a great deal. He was an answer to prayer, and we love that he is a part of our family. He is a part of our family. That being said, I recognize that people make mistakes and the folks at MSNBC made a big mistake. They’ve apologized for it. That’s all can you ask for.”

Except that, for Harris-Perry, such “mistakes” are more the rule than the exception. . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=34997.)
