And This Woman Still Has a Megaphone?
Segment # 581
Ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid said that white people can’t “originally invent anything more than they were able to invent good music” during an appearance on a podcast.
Reid told The Left Hook podcast host Wajahat Ali, “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.”
“They got Prager U, they 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, who was fired from MSNBC earlier this year, was replaced by Eugene Daniels, who was previously a White House correspondent for Politico.
Since leaving MSNBC, Reid has been working independently and has appeared to be more unfiltered in her commentary after leaving the network, per Forbes. She has also launched her own YouTube channel, called "The Joy Reid Show," where she comments on the news and shares her opinion.
Since leaving the network, Reid has said that Alligator Alcatraz is a "concentration camp" for "brown people," and has compared the rights of LGBTQ in the US to the rights they would get in Iran.
"LGBTQ people can't even serve in the military under [Trump]," Reid said in a CNN panel in July while talking about the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. When a conservative commentator replied, “We’re not killing them,” Reid continued, "They‘re allowed to live, but they‘re not allowed to serve in the United States military. They‘re being persecuted. They can‘t have their stories told in school. The United States is not exactly a beacon of rights for gay people."
White people can’t invent anything. This is the actual poster child for racism in America and that’s why she isn’t working. She’s toxic
