Harris-Perry, on the other hand, has a very finely-tuned racial trigger.

“I know that this moment is racist because it trips my racial trigger, because it makes me feel nauseous,” she said, according to The Michigan Daily. “I’m not generally angry, but you just made me mad.”

While lamenting that her ‘white allies’ would never be fully able to understand the way black people feel, she nevertheless maintained that a faculty more committed to discussing racial issues would help improve white people’s understanding of racism.

These are the type people who say only Whites can be racist.

Their whole life is based on race and nothing else.

Her so-called sixth sense is probably some kind of psychological disorder.

“She lectured for three hours about the history of the civil rights struggle”

And what are the odds that she never used the word “Democrat” even once....

It seems to me that those who scream “racist” about another, are more “racist” than the one they are accusing?

What a headcase. Her statements are racist, which I’m sure escapes her.

Like viewing a picture of a multicultural family and singing "one of these things is not like the others"?

Listen you tampon-earringed tramp.....how do you know what white people feel? If you had two brain cells in that ‘Hey Arnold’ shaped head of yours, you'd realize your logic just oxymoroned itself.

Reading what she says, it appears the trigger is related to crack consumption.

My Idiot Spidey Sense is more acute than her racist radar. And whenever I'm around someone like her, I have to set it to its coarsest mode or it will overload.

In fact, it's smoking right now ...
