MSNBC Anchor Gets Emotional On-Air (Melissa Harris-Perry barf alert)
The Blaze ^ | July 14, 2013 | Jonathon M. Seidl

Posted on 07/15/2013 3:54:11 PM PDT by tom h

MSNBC anchor Melissa Harris-Perry nearly broke down in tears in the wee hours of Sunday morning while describing her reaction — and the reaction of her 11-year-old daughter — to the not guilty verdict of George Zimmerman.

After a fellow anchor referenced Harris-Perry’s initial comments that black parents will need to hold their children a little closer following the jury’s decision, she became emotional.

“I think part of the reason I was having that reaction was because my 11-year-old is apparently — she’s home with her father — and she was watching, and texted me that she felt like there was no justice in America. And my big sister told me that her 12-year-old son had gotten in bed with them tonight,” she said, her voice cracking and appearing to fight back tears.

Well, I'd like my three children (all teenagers) to be able to walk the streets without being accosted by, or in fear of, black hoodlums.

Candidly, I think my son (age 18) could've kicked Trayvon's butt -- he's a serious MMA enthusiast.

Have at it, Freepers.

This is ridiculous beyond belief.

This is the same crowd that had absolutely no problem with OJ slashing two white people to death and being set free.

Was Perry’s daughter upset that she can no longer beat the living shit out of an armed non-Black person and not get shot? If not, then color me confused.

These people live in some parallel universe. Hasn’t it occurred to any of them the jury acquitted because Zim is innocent on the evidence presented?

I that something like being an American? Funny how hyphenated Americas are generally no where close to having American values.

>> Harris-Perry’s initial comments that black parents will need to hold their children a little closer

So far, so good.

I wish the black community would REALLY get on the “NO MORE TRAYVON MARTINS!!!” bandwagon fo’ sure.

Because the only effective way to ensure there are no more Trayvon Martins is precisely to “hold their children a little closer” and raise them up NOT TO BE HATEFUL RACIST GANGSTA CHOOMING THUGS.

The respect given to Sharpton, Jackson, et all needs to be destroyed. They are lying demagogues and are damaging society, and in particular those they claim to help. They need a public dressing down, their careers ended. Their lies have spread like a virus and many believe the fictional narrative they’ve spun. IF that narrative were true then the protestors’ anger would be righteous. The narrative is false and their anger unjustified. The great danger is that some gathering of protestors would spin out of control due to the actions of some provocateur (think Black Panther’s and their recent statements) and the police by necessity will have to quell the disorder, from there the spiral begins and feeds into the preconceptions born from those lies. The protestors are useful as tinder for evil racists like the Black Panthers. Sharpton, Jackson, et all need to be destroyed politically and it needs to happen soon.

The problem would be a long way towards solving itself if the ‘hyphenated’ would retain their hymens until after marriage.

Spectacles like this are why nobody except hardcore leftists watch MSNBC anymore. Even the Zimmerman verdict and their constant coverage didn’t help their ratings get out of the toilet.
