MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry boycotts her own show, suggests racism in letter to staff

MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry is boycotting her own show claiming she has lost editorial control of the program and is frustrated over pre-emptions for political coverage.

In an email to her staff, Harris-Perry blasted NBC News chairman Andrew Lack and/or MSNBC president Phil Griffin for treating her show without respect and suggested she is part of the network for racial purposes.

“I will not be used as a tool for their purposes,” Harris-Perry, 42, wrote. “I am not a token, mammy, or little brown bobble head. I am not owned by Lack, Griffin or MSNBC. I love our show. I want it back.”

"What happened on the bus was not a ‘hate crime.’ The only person we heard uttering racial epithets was one of the defendants.”

And there you go. Admitting that black on white hate crime does not exist.

Obviously there weren’t enough liberal white racists willing to watch her, so her show is on the skids.

Either that or she’s slipped totally into schizoid paranoia, if so she should get promoted to head the network.
