And people are now pointing out the blatant racism. Like, for example, our recent story about a Trader Joe’s store being denied the ability to open a store because black leaders were afraid it would attract white shoppers. In that case there is zero question as to whether the move to block Trader Joe’s was racist.
But according to MSNBC host Joy Reid, saying they were racist is simply a shallow ploy to take away their ability to use the race card against anyone who isn’t black.
I kid you not.
Oh the irony

Related to that underbelly is another pet peeve of the soon-to-be-host: “There’s this new thing where people on the right revel in calling anyone black racist who mentions race. It’s like a weapon that they’ve attempted to take away from black people, and they call black people racist all the time for things that definitionally don’t even make sense.”First of all, “people on the right” don’t call those who mention race racists. People who are racist are called racist. Big difference. Second, it’s amazing to see an MSNBC host admit the charge of racism, within the black community, is a weapon used by black people. Which is, at its face, relatively racist.
Oh the irony
