MSNBC host apologizes for attack on Mitt Romney's adopted black grandson

[enhanced_deficit]

Half black.

That sounds like strange term. I don't recall any headline saying "Obama is America's first half-black Prez". Half is always missing.

 

[Danke]

Half black.

She looks more white. What is the other half comprised of?

The left despise the institution of family and prefer abortion to adoption.

It's the old US policy of 3 drops of black blood in your heritage make you BLACK.

 

[Occam's Banana]

Is Melissa Harris-Perry black?

Half black.

Going by the pics & the vid thumbnails, I would've guessed half-Klingon ...

This created quite the firestorm.

One drop rule?

Well, you go back far enough...



Equal playing field, folks.

I don't consider Limbaugh a member of the team on my end of the field. Neocons like Limbaugh along with these "progressive" left types are two birds of a feather flocking together.

This sounds like a classic wedge issue to me. Designed to divide and keep everyone at each other's throat. I'd say she accomplished that quite well and more than a few are falling for it.

That's just her human skin garb; underneath its all green scales. If you look close enough you can see her forked tongue.

 

[pcosmar]

I can't believe a woman who wears tampon earrings on national television would do something tacky.

I thought that was the same one.
The only thing I noticed about the pic was Romney's love for uniforms.

Saw the same on Mackinac Island,, all his hired help in the same shirts.. Which they ditched as soon as their shift was up.

She's vile. They all are.

Weird how this family never occurred to them when they were all yucking it up.

Yeah, and BTW those are very lovely photos of Mr. Obama and his family, just like that photo of the Romneys with their grandchildren is also a very lovely photo.

Melissa Harris-Perry apologizes for Romney grandchild jokes: Sincere?
http://news.yahoo.com/melissa-harris-perry-apologizes-romney-grandchild-jokes-sincere-175941053.html

“One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just isn’t the same,” sang out one of Ms. Harris-Perry’s guests, actress Pia Glenn.
[...]
Pia Glenn apologized to families with adoptive children but defended herself vociferously against charges that her sing-song comment was racist.

It absolutely was racist. You know she believes that baby "doesn't belong," and should be raised by "his own kind." And they all guffawed because they agree. It's how progs roll.

Vox Day talks about how when the SHTF, the progs will be the most virulent racists (because they are) deporting and segregating like you can't believe (it's already started in Europe). Obama doesn't seem all that fond of the whites in his family either. Skin color is probably why he identifies with and obsesses over that drunk loser "father" who he met a handful of times, only a few that he can remember, instead of the people who actually loved him and raised him.

The capper was provided by comedian Dean Obeidallah. “It sums up the diversity of the Republican Party and the [Republican National Committee], where they have the whole convention and they find the one black person,” he said.
[...]
“I’ll apologize to the Romneys but not the wing nuts,” Mr. Obeidallah writes in a Daily Beast column Tuesday titled “Confessions of a Romney Baby Bully.”

I don't think anyone should apologize. I'm sick of all these bullshit public apologies anyway. Don't say it if you won't stand behind it. You said it, you meant it, you still mean it, so save it.

Her mother is white and her father is black.

Going by the pics & the vid thumbnails, I would've guessed half-Klingon ...

Lol.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Pretty sure the black grandchild is a girl, not a boy. If you notice, the family pic has a theme going, and unless the Romney's are trying to raise a cross-dresser....

 

[angelatc]

her apology is full of crap, seems to me the intent was pretty obviously for everyone to mock

here's the full segment:
http://www.msnbc.com/melissa-harris-perry/watch/nerdland-plays-caption-that-102459971859

"On Sunday’s program, we showed a photo of Governor Romney holding his adopted grandson, who is African-American. The intent of featuring the photo was to celebrate it— I often speak to the issue of the increasingly diverse American family.
"Whatever the intent, the segment proceeded in an unexpected way that was offensive. Without reservation or qualification, I apologize to the Romney family and to all families built on loving transracial adoptions," the statement said.

Right. I totally believe that she showed the picture to celebrate the increasing diversity of the increasingly diverse American family during a segment where actresses and comedians try to make up funny captions that insult the people in photographs.

Fox News should have a Sunday afternoon show called "What was I thinking?" to highlight these things.

No, his name is Kiernan, and he's a boy. The liberals have been pissed about this since September. MSNBC just decided to jump in, and got nailed.

If you dig around, you can find plenty of liberals bitching about the Romney's buying their own slave, demanding they give the baby back, and all sorts of other typical liberal ugliness.
