Another classic racist rant from Reid…
Former MSNBC anchor Joy Reid on Friday blasted President Donald Trump, Elvis Presley, and others as examples of “mediocre White men” whose achievements, she argued, are stolen or counterfeit.
In an interview with Wajahat Ali for his Left Hook Substack, Reid criticized Trump’s review of the Smithsonian and joined Ali in contending that U.S. institutions are rife with “mediocre White men” who, lacking a culture of their own, co-opt Black achievements to elevate themselves.
“These people cannot create culture on their own,” Ali said. “Without Black people, Brown people, the DEIs, there’s no culture in America. We make the food better. We make the economy better. We make the music better. Right? MAGA can’t create culture. They got Cracker Barrel and Kid Rock.”
Reid attacked Trump’s efforts to review the Smithsonian’s historical exhibits ahead of America’s 250th anniversary.
“They can’t fix the history they did. Their ancestors made this country into a slave — a slave hell, but they can clean it up now because they got the Smithsonian. They can get rid of all the slavery stuff,” she said. “They got PragerU that can lie about the history to the children. They can’t originally invent anything more than they ever were able to invent good music.
“We Black folk gave y’all country music, hip-hop, R&B, jazz, rock and roll. They couldn’t even invent that, but they have to call a White man ‘The King.’ Because they couldn’t make rock and roll, so they have to stamp ‘The King’ on a man whose main song was stolen from an overweight Black woman,” Reid continued.
White House spokesman Harrison Fields responded to Reid’s comments, saying she was “too unhinged for MSNBC.”
“Joyless Reid is an ungrateful hack who fails to acknowledge her privilege. Whatever remains of her success would only be possible in the United States of America, the same country she degrades for sport. She was too unhinged for MSNBC and was fired. Instead of changing her act, she’s doubled down on stupid,” he said.
