re: Melissa Harris-Perry Gives Tear-Filled Apology

PS...to the OP...I watched Romney with Chris Wallace this morn...damn classy man. Harris-Perry can thank Mitt Romney that she'll still have a job.

A cryin shame that the foolish electorate rejected the man for the divisive Obama. We'll pay dearly for it.

Live and learn.

We should all accept her apology. It is sincere, IMHO.

Perhaps it is, she will be fine and in a week or so back to her standard hatred.

I never see you or anyone on the left rushing to Don Imus' defense, for example. And that was clearly just a joke.

I thought the Imus thing was funny. And in that instance, everyone seemed uninterested in the facts also, as he frequently called his own wife "ho".

The problem is that political correctness is nothing but a phony, agenda driven concept which was devised to destroy the lives of certain people. That's why Jesse Jackson can utter racist slurs and still live to be introduced as a civil rights advocate. Meanwhile, Paula Deen admits to saying the n-word 20 years ago, in a moment of anger against a man who had robbed her, and unlike Jackson, she has to be destroyed.

The black "civil rights advocate" lives to fight another day, but the Southern white woman with a stupid cooking show is destroyed.

So, for all of you liberals who are just laughing this off, I guess we'll see how you respond the next time a conservative or a white person steps over the PC line and gets attacked by the PC police. Will it still be much ado about nothing, or will that....once again
...be a different matter altogether?

The media is full of itself. They spend half their time reporting on the media.

MSNBC seems to hire hateful personalities. I think her biggest mistake was putting a photo up in front of a panel that would ridicule it...and then laughing with them.

Who thought that was acceptable television?

It's the double standard of offense

And it has nothing to do with me. I don't contribute to that double standard.

You probably didn't see me defending Imus because you and I first communicated in 2013, years after the incident. You're making terrible points and are namecalling because you can't not make terrible points.

You will find nothing inconsistent in my positions on language/joke policing and demanding apologies when one chooses to take offense at someone's speech. It sounds like you're assuming I'm a leftist. I am not. Shut up.

Not just any child....a black one. Does his posts strike anyone else as hypocritical and race obsessed?

I can't decide if he's serious or trolling.

Yup. I've never heard someone serious about adopting word it quite that way before. Either racist or troll.
