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€

Melissa Harris-Perry has a show????
Melissa Harrisperry needs to check her Black Privlege
...I am not a token, mammy or little brown bobble head...
Oh, but you most certainly are.

*************************************************
My thoughts as well, she pretty much defined herself.
She said it’s not racial and then she says this”I am not a token, mammy or little brown bobble head:’
They just can’t carry on a conversation without bringing race into it.
It’s so tiring.
.

I’ll bet Melissa’s pair is hairy.
Her next “One Woman Show” - “Unemployed for Fun and Profit”.
Maybe MSNBC should support her boycott by taking her off the payroll. Let's get real with this boycott thing!
Harris-Perry: MSNBC does not exist for news; It exists for ME!
They all suffer from Chronic Perceived Racism Syndrome. What a pathetic way to live.
LOL....
Forgot I posted that.
Still makes me laugh...

Every token has this moment of clarity when they realize they ARE tokens; for Obama it came early, when he had to endorse “homosexual unions” while betraying black Americans in the interests of illegals. Melissa is a token to herd black thought processes.
Many have come to expect the preferential treatment used by some companies (and mainly by the government itself) to pretend they have a viable role in a modern economy. In the end, they simply provide more job security for the non-tokens doing the actual work; they are just a “diversity tax” paid by organizations.
How will the world of political and societal destruction survive? Hilarious. Ask Mike Rowe over @ cnn what it feels like and how often he’s been ‘pre-empted’. And he has a show with practical, real-world information. Go hyphenate yourself Melissa and take your oh-so-clever tampon earrings with you.
