"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."
Ms. Harris-Perry is black, and Mr. Lack and Mr. Griffin are white. In the phone interview on Friday, Ms. Harris-Perry clarified her remarks and said she did not think race played a role in her recent absence from the air.
"I don't know if there is a personal racial component," she said. "I don't think anyone is doing something mean to me because I'm a black person."
An NBC News spokesman said in a statement, "In this exciting and unpredictable presidential primary season, many of our daytime programs have been temporarily upended by breaking political coverage, including M.H.P. This reaction is really surprising, confusing and disappointing."
For MSNBC, this is unwelcome news during a heated election. Last year, after its scandal involving Brian Williams, Mr. Lack, the former head of NBC News, was brought back to run the news division, and one of his chief missions was to fix the ailing MSNBC, which significantly trails Fox News and CNN in viewership. In the last few months, Mr. Lack has steered MSNBC away from its liberal identity and moved it toward harder news in the daytime hours.

Aw, now....you know that ain't right. :0)
What about all those young single white school teacher liberals that still think Kwanzaa in something really real?
She has no qualifications other than she’s a halfrican. Her educational credentials are the equivalent of toilet paper.
She should fight Rhonda. She ain't a cutter with that mug.
PhD from Duke.
She know the secret handshake, LOL
If you’re on MSNBC it means you have no talent.
It’s a Comcast crony capitalist venture to offer talking points to the liberal masses.
Ph.D in Political Science....It’s toilet paper.
When she has a Ph.D in Physics, Math, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, etc. we we can talk...
Until that day, she has nothing to contribute.
It’s a good scam.
She’s making $1.2m a year there. Exactly 10 times what my last year engineering salary was before I retired.
Maybe she sensed that the audience had had their fill of angry, idiotic, black woman.
Heck, I’d take her seriously if she had a B.S. in one of the hard sciences.
A Ph.D in political science ?? Seriously?
We could do those courses standing on our heads. It’s not like mastery of Floquet Transforms, Fourier Transforms, Field and Wave Electro-Magnetics. etc. THings where you had to read the instructions six times, and spend countless hours training your mind to think in those terms.
You walk off the set and you want your job back? Do you think the producers are even dumber than you? Uh, don't answer that.
You're not a token Mammy?
Where do we get such brilliant university professors that wear tampon earrings, dreadlocks, feminism sweatshirts, etc?
It's great that you reach out to everyone, just like our President. NOT.
The ugly is very deep with her.
No, but they are after you for being too lispy.
This womans mother was white. So how does that make her black?
I thhhink thum of you Fweeper posters are a little mean
when it comes to Melissstha. And, you should get over
your thilly notions zhat you can raze your children
better zhan the government.
Ms. Harris-Perry is black
******************************
That’s debatable.
She’s a halfer like Obama.
