In a nauseating display of mean-spirited ignorance, MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry and her panel of five ridiculed Mitt Romney's black grandchild as something "that's not like the others." The MSNBC segment was a look back at 2013, and for some reason a Romney family photo that shows former Massachusetts governor with a grandchild on each knee was cherry-picked for mockery. The only apparent reason for the ridicule was purely based on the race of Kieran Romney, the governor's adopted grandchild who happens to be black. You can hear panelist Pia Glenn singing the lyrics to the "Sesame Street" song, "One of these things doesn't belong here." After finishing the ditty, Glenn says, "And that little baby, front and center, would be the one. Dean Obeidallah then attacks the child as token, "I think this picture is great. It really sums up the diversity of the Republican party, the RNC. At the convention, they find the one black person. Throughout, Harris-Perry chuckles along approvingly. Frequently I write about how provincial and narrow-minded America's cultural and media elites are. Over and over, they prove themselves to be shockingly ignorant of the world outside their bubbled universities and cloistered social and professional lives -- all of which are obsessed with race. Out here in the real world, though, a mixed-race family is not a freak show or occurrence. I'm in a mixed-race marriage and it not only never comes up (and I live in the South), I dont even think about it until the elite media's mean-girl leftists act as though such a thing is bizarre.

Good old MSNBS. Suppose the adopted black baby was excluded
from all Romney family photos. How would that be treated by “the
place for politics”?
As a grandfather of nine, I can tell you that the Romney's will love, care for, take joy in (as is evident), and help provide for all of their grandchildren irrespective of pigment.
He is not Obama-black and therefore open to ridicule.
Libs are truly racist.
Typical liberal ploy- “Ridicule on page 1, apologize on page 17.”
Haters.
At the site the video is not available because the account has been terminated.
They remind me of the bullies from grade school on, ganging up on someone smaller, someone different, someone not in their clique.
Now we seem to have an entire political party of these like minded Alinskyite bullies following the lead of their community "organizer".
Say it, snark and laugh, invite others to preen and sneer; then apologize. Oh, yeah, she's sorry.
Not.
They apologize, but only after they’ve said what they really think. They hate the fact that Romney is so successful, and his family is so all American. They secretly hate what they know they can’t possibly be.
As any grandparent would know, OBVIOUSLY the littlest one has to be held by either Grandma or Grandpa.
It’s where they’re safest. :-)
Melissa Harris-Commie is a lying racist piece of dog squeezins.
