Melissa Harris-Perry Walks Off Her MSNBC Show After Pre-emptions

"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.

And there is more intelligent commentary coming from the honors classes of a local high school.

MLH despises her White mother and her own Whiteness.

..must think her father as a race-traitor.

Yes, that is her parents.

..skipped right over your post.

How insane must it be to look in the mirror each morning and only see the color of your skin.

Race has zero to do with it. It’s the raving lunatic Marxist dogma that emanates from her misfiring brain cells that I adamantly oppose. Too bad really because I think she is a very attractive woman.
