Joy Reid claims 'mediocre White men' like Trump, Elvis can't 'invent anything,' steal culture from other races

Former MSNBC anchor Joy Reid condemned President Donald Trump, Elvis Presley and others on Friday as some of history’s many "mediocre White men" whose achievements are stolen or counterfeit.

Reid criticized Trump’s review of the Smithsonian during an interview with Wajahat Ali for his "The Left Hook" substack, in an episode titled, "How Mediocre White Men and Their Fragility Are Destroying America."

They argued that across America’s institutions, there is a phenomenon of "mediocre White men" with no actual culture of their own who co-opt the achievements of Black people to aggrandize themselves.

Ali opened the episode by talking about Trump reforming the Kennedy Center in what his critics call a hostile takeover. The institution, which in recent years had featured drag queen performances, is now being reformed to show decidedly more conservative and pro-American content. Trump announced this year's Kennedy Center awards last week, which he will also be hosting.

"These people cannot create culture on their own," Ali said. "Without Black people, Brown people, the DEIs, there's no culture in America. We make the food better. We make the economy better. We make the music better. Right? MAGA can't create culture. They got Cracker Barrel and Kid Rock."

...

White House spokesman Harrison Fields responded to Reid's comments, saying she was "too unhinged for MSNBC."

"Joyless Reid is an ungrateful hack who fails to acknowledge her privilege. Whatever remains of her success would only be possible in the United States of America, the same country she degrades for sport. She was too unhinged for MSNBC and was fired. Instead of changing her act, she’s doubled down on stupid," he said.

You forgot Walmart, Joyce. Woke racists usually add Walmart to the litany of things they mock about white America.

I understand that Trump Tower is built of wattle and daub, the height of African architectural acheivement.

Gee, I don’t know - steel mills, light bulbs, radio and TV, rockets, airplanes, medicines, cars - I guess she’s right, we white guys haven’t done much. Time to get off the couch.

Once again, this saying applies:

The first person to bring up race is the racist.

Trump Derangement is a serious mental illness. Miss Reid has been driven insane in her rage. Sad to see. Recovery is doubtful.

Black fatigue is a real thing. I’m so tired of these racists acting like everything they do is okay, but white people are the Devil

Gosh. If only I could live in a Nigerian shantytown, I’d be so encultured.

White Christian civilization tamed the world
To best it can be perfect or not

Non whites simply can’t deal with this reality

Representational governance and industrial might

Everywhere yes even Asia

Unlike me whereupon I can easily admit which groups perform better than my southern Anglo Saxon Ulster Scots do

Ash Jews
Viets
Germans in general
Arab Christians usually

I don’t get offended

But barely out of the bush negro race has been so coddled

An evolution of the reaction to nazism excess

It’s destroying us

For years I had no idea Joy Reid was black. What strange things for a black person to say. It’s a good thing for her that she is part of the protected class.
