Affirmative action was the only reason MSNBC’s Joy Reid attended Harvard, the anchor insisted on Thursday. Reid made the point while appearing on “All In with Chris Hayes” to comment on the US Supreme Court ruling that affirmative action in college admissions violated the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause. While opposing the decision, Reid admitted that she benefited from affirmative action herself.
“I got into Harvard only because of affirmative action,” Reid said. “I went to a school no one had ever heard of in Denver, Colorado, in a small suburb. I didn’t go to Exeter or Andover. I didn’t have college test prep. I just happened to be really nerdy and smart and have really good grades and good SAT scores.”
She continued, “But someone came to Denver to look for me. A Harvard recruiter flew to Denver, and I met me up with her at the Village Inn Restaurant and did a pre-interview to pull me into Harvard. I was pulled in — affirmatively.”

Who could possibly have guessed that?
Lucky the rest of us. Screw her and screw Harvard.
And she is too stupid to keep her mouth shut about it. She is “Exhibit A” about what is bad about affirmative action.
Does her remark imply all the men in professional jobs with college degrees got there by merit and honest work, unlike the females like her?
Look at the insult that is to hard working and highly qualified women.
People may question a qualified woman or black person when they see Karine, Kamala, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee and more. Unfairly.
Just curious. How "good" were those "good SAT scores"?
This is her Fredo Corleone “I’m smart” moment.
Believe me Joy, we already knew that
Didn’t help though ,LOL
