"I’m actually sorry for Reid. She lives in a wonderful place, the least racist place in the world (and I know, ‘cause I’ve traveled a lot) and all she sees is ugliness. I wonder whether she’ll ever realize the ugliness isn’t in America; it’s in her. If she does realize that, she can then make the choice to be happy." Andrea Widburg
Joy Reid's Take on Thanksgiving One of Her Most Ignorant Yet
Reid began by referencing how many people celebrate Thanksgiving, which she mentioned as "the day we gather with friends and family to enjoy turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. We throw on the game, catch up on our lives and discuss or quite possibly argue about religion and politics."
"For millions of Americans, it’s a day of cherished tradition. And as Americans, we certainly value those traditions," she also acknowledged, though it rang hollow with what she launched into next.
"But it’s also important to unpack the myth of Thanksgiving. It is a holiday riddled with historical inaccuracies," she continued. "Built on this myth that the indigenous welcomed their colonizers with open arms and ears of corn. A simplistic fairytale interpretation of a 1621 encounter between indigenous tribes and English settlers that erases the genocide that followed. It’s the truth that Republicans want banned from our textbooks because here is the secret they want so desperately to keep."
Tom Elliott "And now please enjoy this this heart-warming Thanksgiving message from MSNBC"
. . ."MSNBC’s failure to fire Reid reeks of hypocrisy. From Harvard’s rescinding conservative activist Kyle Kashuv’s acceptance over past inflammatory comments to outrage over outlandish comments Fox News’ Tucker Carlson made on shock-jock radio, the political Left has consistently activated for and defended a culture that "cancels" anyone who doesn't adhere to liberal orthodoxy. Thus, MSNBC’s refusal to abide by the same standard its left-wing allies and contributors have largely pushed is nothing short of unacceptable.". . .
Joy Reid is the ‘grinch’ of Thanksgiving with her race-obsessed take "MSNBC host Joy Reid (net worth: $4 million or so) graduated from Harvard University. Despite that pedigree, she learned neither facts nor gratitude. And so it is that, in honor of Thanksgiving, Joy Reid lashed out at America, accusing it of being a violent, irredeemably racist country. It’s time to bring a little reality to Reid’s foray into out-grinching the Grinch, not on Christmas, but at Thanksgiving.
