Like a stopped clock being right twice a day, MSNBC every so often says or does something sane.
This time around, it was canning Melissa Harris-Perry, host of the eponymous news show. Notorious even by the low standards set by the network, Harris-Perry rose to fame as an adherent of some truly ludicrous beliefs and maker of unbelievably embarrassing statements.
Within the past four years she has been on MSNBC, Harris-Perry advocated for the state to take control of the nation’s children, argued that American police and law enforcement officers were morally equivalent to ISIS, and accused the Star Wars franchise of being racist because Darth Vader wears black armor.
Apparently, this was all too much even for the liberals that run the channel, so they issued a directive to Harris-Perry asking her to focus more on hard news and less on her… unique take on things. Outraged that they would even consider such a thing, Harris-Perry did what she does best and insinuated they were racist, leaving the network no choice but to fire her.
Read part of Harris-Perry’s goodbye letter to MSNBC on the next page:
I was being honest…I’m not a whiny person, nor would I defend someone for being a crybaby, I was just keeping it real…yes at work an African American professional may have authority but as group in the national and global scheme of things we have no authority…people in these conservative groups are always stating how the progress of African Americans came about due in large part to the concessions made by white Americans…and they are not wrong…its what it is…it not racist, its real life…and Sheron, chill out, we’re not saving lives on here…
They didn’t fire her based on racism, they fired her because she is stupid and you can’t fix stupid !!!
Oh look, a talking bobble head.
Who’s the racist?
So sick of the racist thing, everything you do now is something dealing with racist
Take a hike off a cliff.
Didn’t she insinuate they were racist for hiring her too?
Yes you are.
She is racist, and Sharpton entitled
She forgets she IS an empty headed fool and that might be why she got fired…
