MSNBC Contributor Goldie Taylor Says Corporate America Is "Literally Raping" Minorities (VIDEO)

MSNBC contributor Goldie Taylor just made a very questionable word choice.
When Martin Bashir asked her about the recession's "catastrophic" effect on minorities, this was her answer:
"Catastrophic is right, you know. If you look at african-american and hispanic households, fully a third of them report zero wealth. Not even a dollar in positive wealth. A lot of that wealth was tied up in the homes that they spent more than 75% of their income either buying or maintaining, and so when those homes were taken away, the wealth went with it.
"If you put on top of that affordable health care and access to health insurance, then, you know, most of the bankruptcies in this country, especially from black and brown people, are driven because of health care costs, and so when you ask yourself what has happened to black and brown Americans, I can tell you what happened to them.
"Corporate America happened to them. People who are, you know, literally raping these people over medical costs, exorbitant medical costs and then to turn around and swipe the homes that they worked their lives to build, you know, over some subprime lending issues. So I think that we ought to re-examine our priorities as a country and re-examine how to go forward. I don't think that's the america we're banking on, the America we all believe in."

These people have gone over the edge. We need the straightjackets and butterfly nets.
The hyperbole network.
Well, if by “Corporate America”, he really means Ted Kennedy or another member of the Kennedy clan, or Dominique Strauss-Kahn, I might agree.

Well the Left has ratcheted up the hate for Corporations, the wealthy, and privileged whites to the point that just about anything could be condoned against them.
That was the goal. Mission accomplished.
We live in very dangerous times.
We do so, not because of an enemy outside our borders, but from an enemy within.
Their, their my deer s’all k, K?
Goldie?
Minorities lack of wealth?? Well look at where they came from for a Clue,not a good resume there,Look how far we have had to drop our standards here, so they could be employed!
Sure.
Which first, hollow points or hardball?
hmmm...no comment on Asians, eh? (snicker)
The entitlement mentality demands that they be rescued for their stupidity. That's got to cease. When an entire subculture has the affliction, it must be not be "society holding them down."
Mainstream media’s habitual abundance of inflammatory and absurd rhetoric.
