Off the Rails: MSNBC Guest Claims GOP ‘White Nationalist, Afrikaner, Boer Party’

“Do you think we’re ever going to have a real conversation about race in this country?” MSNBC guest host Joy-Ann Reid asked her guest at the conclusion of one of the most self-serving and dishonest segments on the subject of race in the United States yet broadcast on her network.

Reid’s cable news home has taken the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the civil rights movement’s march on Washington D.C. and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech to, ironically, set race relations back as far as they can. In the name of furthering progress by highlighting injustices – real or perceived – some of the networks’ hosts have set out on a mission to alienate as many minorities from the political system as possible by creating boogiemen and normalizing language commonly recognizable as hate speech by anyone who does not outright agree with the sentiments expressed.

Joining Joy Reid on Friday was “anti-racism activist” and author Tim Wise. In that segment, host and guest attacked some conservative media outlets for calling on civil rights leaders to address the killing of Christopher Lane, an Australian exchange student, by three teens, two black and one white....

The perpetually dishonest “dialogue” on race was further elevated when Wise insisted that the Republican Party as a whole is a segregationist party. Wise insisted that the GOP is “a white nationalist, Afrikaner, Boer party.”

Shout it loud enough and often enough, it becomes true.

MSNBC - always working hard to keep people from noticing all of the black on white crime taking place.

Actually, we are having a real conversation about it right now. The libs simply don't like what they're hearing, so they keep asking.

MSNBC: Let’s throw this against the wall and see if it sticks!

[doc1019]

Excellent point.

Blacks are democrats and most whites are pubbies....... so I guess that probably makes us racists.

[kabar]

I bet most South Africans will prefer living under the Boers after Mandela dies. The country will disintegrate like Rhodesia did.

[Huskrrrr]

PMSNBC perpetually fanning the flames of racism.

Mental illness is required for the left.

Black on white crime? Such as I got mugged in the
Franklin Institute by two thugs in Philly when we had moved here back in 1969..I was about 12. Even back then the cops did not want to do anything about it. The only thing that saved me was two teen age girls who put up a loud fuss over the goings on of the two teenage girls.

It’s official. After 50+ years of being a firm believer in equal rights for all people I am now a racist. I’ve been called a racist so much over the past 5 years I’ve decided to embrace it....

[Impy]

If Tim Wise saw a Black person outside the confines of his ivory tower, he’d probably pee himself.

[JimSEA]

Time to commission the concentration camps, is it? All they have to do is make a bloody example of a few and the rest will fall in order. Sieg Heil! Obama.

“Blacks are democrats and most whites are pubbies....... so I guess that probably makes us racists.”

For the sake of clarification, I am white and Umgud is not speaking for me.

[MaxMax]

I'll bet that after the show they all sat in their special little club corner and giggled
while poking each other in the ribs.

[Cronos]

white afrikaner boer party = GOP

Sorry? Can you repeat that?

[shadeaud]

Off a bit. Saw the butler tonight along with maybe 25 other bored people(thank God nobody had a gun). Movie is like I-10 from San Antonio to El Paso( very long and boring). Democrat presidents were portrayed as leaders in civil rights movement with exception of Johnson who spent most of the part on the toilet. Nixon was a drunk or druggie and Ronald Reagan was a racist. Winfrey's role was really belittling to Black women and if it wasn't for Forest Whittaker(sp)who did an excellent job playing the house N_____, the movie would have been better made into an episode of Law and Order SUV.

Modified a bit, but I believe the credit goes to Jonah Goldberg, who (I believe), also said that Obama and his supporters wanted a “national discussion about race.” And got one.

[FreeperCell]

The left knows where it is right now.
