At a recent forum at the University of Michigan, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry explained to her audience that white people will never understand why things are racist, because they lack an innate racial trigger, that instantly tells them when to be outraged.
Harris-Perry, on the other hand, has a very finely-tuned racial trigger.
I know that this moment is racist because it trips my racial trigger, because it makes me feel nauseous, she said, according to The Michigan Daily. Im not generally angry, but you just made me mad.
While lamenting that her white allies would never be fully able to understand the way black people feel, she nevertheless maintained that a faculty more committed to discussing racial issues would help improve white peoples understanding of racism.

Like viewing a picture of a multicultural family and singing "one of these things is not like the others"?
I wonder how many people stayed for the whole rant.
Reading what she says, it appears the trigger is related to crack consumption.
In fact, it's smoking right now ...
Wasn’t she on tv wearing tampax for earrings? Am I really supposed to take her seriously over anything she says?
So that was her. Wow. She really puts the more in moron.
She’s stupid and a racist, how/why does she get the megaphone of a tv show?
O, Fred, ya did it again. Ya made me smile!
I have a sixth sense too, I know when someone is full of crap so my BS meter skyrockets when I see that tampon wearing freak spew her idiocy
I truly think this woman is mentally ill.
.
Sixth sense? I see dumb people.
