NewsBusters has found a superfluity of insane content from MSNBC’s The ReidOut, but Wednesday’s show was perhaps the evilest and vile of them all as host Joy Reid and two of her loony pals insisted that red states don’t care if black people and other racial minorities starve and die so long as they, in Reid’s words, “get their behinds into the factory and make me my steaks, make me my stuff, get there and do my nails.”
With help from MSNBC contributors Jason Johnson and Dr. Kavita Patel, Reid was discussing the refusal of red states like Mississippi and Texas to refrain from (indefinite) coronavirus lockdown measures and mask mandates when the vicious and vile discussion got even worse.
Patel had stated that parts of Mississippi didn’t have a vaccination site within 90 minutes of them, then said it was an example of not only systemic racism, but a situation where “it feels like nobody cares” with Republicans harming minorities and “slapp[ing] down” “health professionals.”
Reid concurred and leveled the horrendous charge, stating these red states represented “necropolitics, which is essentially the politics of who gets to live and who gets to die and these states — what they have in common is that they have structures which say that black and brown lives matter less.”
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
