Joy Reid Trashes America After MSNBC Exit: ‘Not The Land Of Opportunity For People Like Us
Just weeks out from her firing from MSNBC after years of dwindling ratings, Joy Reid framed America as a racist, backwards country while speaking at the Baldwin and Co. bookstore.
Reid sat down with Ta-Nehisi Coates, a far-left activist who once called 9/11 responders “menaces of nature” and has routinely delivered anti-white sermons throughout his career. Coates once again provided an insight into his racist, anti-white views during the discussion by labeling all 78 million Trump voters as “racists” and “bigots.”
“Look, man, I’m old enough to remember 2020, or 2016, when Trump won the first time. And every major paper in this world had a reason to tell us why white folks, quote unquote working class white folks, supported this racism, this bigotry, and this sexist for reasons that were not racism, sexism, or bigotry. A lot of resources were expended,” the pseudo-intellectual ranted.
“‘Economic anxiety. Economic anxiety.’ Against data, a lot of resources. I mean, humanizing almost to the point of infantilizing,” he continued in a mocking tone before, shockingly, concluding that America does not afford the same opportunity to black people.
“And then I watch these people being bombed, and it’s like, you know, excuse my language, f**k y’all,” he continued, drawing a round of applause from the crowd.
Continuing with the theme of the discussion, Reid claimed that her mother immigrated to the U.S. from Guyana and quickly realized that the U.S. was a racist nation. Despite realizing that the U.S. was such an evil country, she decided to stay, however.
“And as somebody who’s, you know, my parents, my father was from the Congo and my mother was from Guyana and so they were the immigrants who came here on purpose and they got the rude awakening,” Reid said. “My mother got the rude awakening like, ‘oh, it’s racist here.’ That’s weird.”
“She was like, this is the land of opportunity but not for me,” Reid added before Coates mocked white people who claim they’re not racist.
Reid appears to be continuing with the often racist, anti-Trump theme from her MSNBC program after she was fired by the network earlier this year.
For Reid, the cancellation came as her show had struggled to attract more than 1 million viewers over the last several months. The show’s overall ratings have declined by 28 percent when compared with last February.
