February 26, 2016, 04:29 pm Melissa Harris-Perry boycotting her own MSNBC show: report
By Mark Hensch
Melissa Harris-Perry is refusing to host her MSNBC show this weekend after presidential election coverage repeatedly pre-empted her, according to The New York Times.
“I will not be used as a tool for their purposes,†Harris-Perry wrote in an email obtained by the Times.
"I am not a token, mammy or little brown bobble head. I am not owned by [NBC News chairman Andrew] Lack, [MSNBC President Phil] Griffin or MSNBC. I love our show. I want it back.â€
Harris-Perry resents the show’s pre-emption over the last two weeks and MSNBC dictating how it presents content, the report said.
“It is perfectly fine, 100 percent reasonable and perfectly acceptable for MSNBC to decide they no longer want the M.H.P. show,†said Harris-Perry, who has hosted the show since 2012. "But they should say that, they should cancel the show, they should stand up.
“And maybe it would be rewarded with huge ratings, but they shouldn’t kill us by attrition and take us off the air without telling anybody, including us. That for me is what’s painful and difficult.â€
Harris-Perry added that she does not see believe racial bias is motivating MSNBC’s decision-making.
“I don’t know if there’s a racial component,†she told the Times. "I don’t think anyone is doing something mean to me because I’m a black person.â€

She is definitely one raving lunatic.
Did anyone notice?.
Uhhh, she’s wearing her tampax in the wrong spot. Now I see why there’s an instruction pamphlet in the box.
I guess she’s just not into HARD WORK?
What an entitled affirmative-action brat this little brown bobble head is.
Melissa Harris-Perry played the race card!? What!?
Her hair braids are a bit too tight...
Easy to hire and hard to fire.
It ain’t fittin, it just ain’t fittin, it ain’t fittin...
“Harris-Perry wrote in an email obtained by the Times. “I am not a token, mammy or little brown bobble head. I am not owned by [NBC News chairman Andrew] Lack, [MSNBC President Phil] Griffin or MSNBC.”
Wrong on all counts.
Yes Melissa you are a “ token, mammy little brown bobble head.”
Did she get fired or quit? Either way good riddance.
She's a female of color. Isn't that enough to ensure success?
Admittedly, I could count the number of minutes I watched her on one hand, and am totally disappointed that she lasted this long with the management of pMSNBC, but that's nothing new.
Comcast should have told her that her show sucked, was on the bubble, and are taking advantage of the election to try out new talent, or give life to old liberals that still have a viewer or two more with less negative feedback, and would decide her fate after the country decides its fate in November.
Eh, perhaps she had them in her ears when pMSNBC pulled a Trump Apprentice?
Hell hath no fury like a token scorned. Boycott yourself! Brilliant!
Somebody has a waaaaay too high opinion of herself. If the network had any balls they’d show her the door.
Those mixed up genes really made Perry into a psycho
She looks white (Caucasian) with a California tan. Why do so many blacks try to look Caucasian?
