The Unmatched Bigotry of Joy Reid

[Michie]

MSNBC just canceled “The ReidOut,” the most vicious, nasty, anti-white and pathologically anti-Trump show on air. Host Joy Reid, for five years, unleashed one hateful, often irrational attack after another. It was only after President Donald Trump’s reelection and her ratings plummeting nearly 50 percent that MSNBC pulled the plug.

Here are just some of her greatest hits:

“(The courts) are stacked now to essentially suborn our democracy to their very particular version of right-wing evangelical Christ … That’s no different than Talibanism.”

“The goal of the Republican Party today, is it to seize control of every level of government, to lock out voices of color and LGBTQ voices except those who conform to their demand that history and education uplift white Christian dominion …”

“Fascism isn’t a game, y’all. It’s real. And it’s in America, sometimes dressed as a kooky personality cult or carrying a confederate flag …”

“That’s exactly what (Make America Great Again) means when I hear it. It’s George Wallace. (Trump is) just a Republican George Wallace …”

“Donald Trump has two kinds of visions of black people: one, celebrities and sports stars that he wants to be around. And two, every other black person that he thinks is beneath him.”

“There’s evidence that Donald Trump has been red-pilled into a far-right movement that is inspired by white dispossession in Africa.”

She should be ashamed of herself.

Constant racism makes for bad TV and bad ratings.

I've run into that anti-white rhetoric before, especially when I was still working. We'd bust somebody for pushing dope or stealing something, and the inevitable accusation was always, "You're only hassling me because I'm black!"

No, buddy, we're hassling you because you're breaking the law....period. You don't want to be hassled? Don't break the law. It's simple.

I've heard the same type of hosts on radio talk shows as well; they're against America because "America was designed and built for white people, and we have no chance to succeed in America because we're oppressed and discriminated against. America systematically oppresses blacks."

To which I can only ask, if it's so bad for you in America, why are you here? There are 196 other countries in the world outside of the United States of America. Pick one, and move.

I'm really not attempting to be racist by saying this....it just is what it is. One of my fellow officers, many years ago, said something I always remember. We busted two kids for something, I forget what, and the white kid just capitulated, and we took him into custody fairly easily. The black kid tried to run (didn't work), then he tried to fight (that didn't work, either), then he started cursing my partner as he restrained him, snarling about why he was being handled so roughly while the white guy was hardly touched at all.

My partner replied, "I approach everybody the same way; doesn't matter who they are. Where it goes from there is up to you." Or in other words, if you want to be treated gently like the white kid, then don't fight and spit and curse and swear at us. Just allow yourself to be taken into custody, and go with the fact that you were caught doing something illegal, and don't try to make it up into some specifically-designed oppressive racist persecution based on your skin tone. (shrug)

And I will also say that I am again overjoyed that I am retired now, and living waaaaay out here in the pulpwood slashings, and not working in the inner city any more. I don't have to listen to gunfire all night, and what I encounter out here has feathers or fur, not melanin levels of varying hue and combative attitudes. The serenity is soothing.
