MSNBC host Joy Reid lamented that black Americans have not received sufficient reparations for “literally, physically” building this country, believing that former President Barack Obama’s eight-year tenure is the best they will get.
Reid issued her comments during an interview on Salon Talks with writer Dean Obeidallah wherein she said that black people “literally, physically, built this country” and therefore deserve much more than a two-term black president.

Yeah, yeah, crybaby.
Joy, that is. Not you!
What did Obama ever do for black people?
Joy, that is. Not you!
And we literally, physically built the boats that brought you here. I want a tax credit for that.
She told a complete lie.
Joy Reid...always wrong.
Slavery was not legal and never legal in most of the United States. One of the reasons the North was able to win is that they did not have slavery and thus their agriculture vastly outproduced the South’s who relied more on involuntary labor (that did not earn wages and thus did not further contribute to economic activity elsewhere) vs. paid farmhands and technological innovation. Slavery retarded economic growth where it was practiced.
She must be talking about chain gangs..................
Bull shi...er...bull Dorkbama. Get a life, lady. While trying for that, get a brain, even if only capable of a two digit IQ. Thankfully, the blacks I know are intelligent, moral, and have a great deal of talent. You, however, fail in every measure. Shove it.
I hate this crap. They are SO SO special.
My grandfather and family arrived from Germany in 1927 and he built elevators in many skyscrapers in NYC.
His dad lost everything at age 74 when the Russians invaded Danzig.
HIS SON (my dad) got an engineering degree and built spacecraft including the power plants on the Voyager spacecraft and defense projects so secret he could never tell me. His brother separated uranium isotopes at Oak Ridge in WW II.
I had a career in power and kept the lights on.
We all contribute. Her tribalism is killing the country. Miserable grifting worthless racist.
My Scots-Irish Presbyterian ancestors, who migrated from South Carolina and Georgia to Randolph County, Illinois in the 1810s, largely because of their opposition to slavery, and who farmed and mined and started businesses and eventually worked in factories, and who fought on the Union side in the Civil War, would be surprised to hear that they made no contribution in building this country.
She's also a known homophobe and serial liar. The fact that NBC put her on the air and continues to put her on the air means NBC owes everyone besides her and hers reparations, via a class action suit.
The black unemployment rate was lower than the white unemployment rate until then, and ever higher after that.

"In the United States, before federal minimum wage laws became a thing in the 1930's, black unemployment rate was actually lower than white unemployment. In the 1930's several laws were enacted, including the Davis Bacon Act of 1931, the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933, and the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which all set or raised minimum wage laws at a federal level. Furthermore, the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 promoted unionization. While the National Industrial Recovery Act was eventually knocked down for being unconstitutional, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 which came later was upheld."
"What was the effect of these laws? Black unemployment surpassed that of whites in 1948. By the time 1949 came around, teenage black unemployment rate went to almost 16%, and by the time we get to 1971, it was two times that, and stayed that way that until 1997. In 2009, it was more than three times that, which means it was almost 50%."
Thanks for the jet airplanes, automobiles, medical technology, telephones, and satellite communications. We couldn’t have done it without you, Joyless.
“You didn’t build that.”
—Barack Obama on July 13, 2012, in Roanoke, Virginia
“But we don’t want the Irish!”
For being SO far off base, she’s OUT! [having been righteously tagged].
