On her eponymously named Sunday morning show, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry went into a mini-rant about racism in Star Wars as she complained about villain Darth Vader being "totally a black guy" when he was "cutting off white men's hands" who did not "claim his son," but then became a white man after he "claims his son and goes over to the good."
MSNBC's Harris-Perry Gripes Over 'Totally Black Guy' Darth Vader as Evil Character
During a segment about the upcoming The Force Awakens sequel, after a discussion about Princess Leia's slave girl costume from the 1980s at 11:44 a.m., the MSNBC host admitted to having mixed feelings about the popular movie series:
I know why I have feelings -- good, bad, and otherwise -- about Star Wars. And I have a lot. I could spend the whole day talking about the whole Darth Vader situation.
After panel member Wesley Morris of the New York Times wondered, "Really? You could?" Harris-Perry took issue with a black actor voicing the iconic evil character rather than rejoicing at James Earl Jones getting such a high-profile career opportunity as she elaborated:
Yeah, like, the part where he was totally a black guy whose name basically was James Earl Jones, who, and we were all, but while he was black, he was terrible and bad and awful and used to cut off white men's hands, and didn't, you know, actually claim his son.
As if it would have made sense for an obviously white leading character to have had a father who was not white, she then griped:
But as soon as he claims his son and goes over to the good, he takes off his mask and he is white. Yes, I have many, many feelings about that, but I will try to put them over here.
Technically, none of the people in the Star Wars universe are even human (a galaxy, far, far away).
Whoops! There goes one of those women with three names on a tangent again.
Don’t every get around a woman with three names and piss her off for they are the most irrational, yeast infected, irritable, time bombs waiting to go off at anything that irritates them. She proves the point!
She’s not “totally black” so what’s she whining about?
The ignorant twit should be thrilled that all those completely White Stormtroopers are taking orders from a Black guy!
Two daughters.
Excellent photoshop
WTF is this woman talking about?
Thanks, but not my work. Found it on the Internet.
I think she’s talking about the fact that she’s insane.
She probably has a problem with God for making her so stupid.
Hollywood anticipated your objections from race card bimbos.So they offset Black guy proxy Darth fighting on the dark side with black guy proxy Chewbacca fighting on the side of the good.What do you have to say about that, Miss Race Card Harris-Perry?
Give it a rest, Melissa. There are way too many folks that really have something to bitch about.
Good point!
She, of Tampon earrings fame, is mentally unbalanced and her viewpoints are bizarre, to say the least. Typically, the inmates in the mental institution are not given so much airtime to spew their delusions.
I did a search on “Melissa Harris-Perry wedding photo” and she was wearing a completely white dress.
What message was she trying to send by that race based clothing choice?
Last time I checked Outer Space is totally Black with a bunch of little white spots in the background.
Conclusion, Outer Space is Racist. Since God created Outer Space, God is Racist.
Too late...
Libturd is just now realizing her fellow Libturds in Hollywood are racists?
