MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry offered an apology to the Romney family on Tuesday after a panel on her show mocked the fact that one of Mitt Romney's grandchildren is black. On Sunday's "Melissa Harris-Perry" show, Harris-Perry led a panel in discussing the "Photos of the Year," which included a Romney family Christmas photo.
In the photo, Romney is seen holding his adopted grandchild, Kieran, who is black. During the segment, guest panelist Pia Glenn sang, "One of these things is not like the others! One of these things just isn't the same," a reference to Kieran. "And that little baby, front and center, would be the one." For her part, Harris-Perry imagined Kieran Romney and North West, the daughter of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, marrying in the future. When The Right Scoop first took note of the panel's comments Monday, it caused an uproar. Early Tuesday morning, Harris-Perry tweeted an apology. She noted that she comes from a mixed-race family, and that she felt "familiarity" with the photograph.

I swear, I can visualize a phone call being made from the White House over to MSNBC; “Can y’all make some sort of outrageous statement on tonight’s show? We need something to distract the sheeple from Obamacare and that whole Duck Dynasty thing kind of blew up in our face”.
Forget black and white! People are people. If you cannot see a person, they are just a person. People who make fun of a race are an abomination. It’s time to knock it off!
Do they mock deBlasio who has a black wife and family?
No, actually that would not work (ex: Sarah Palin), no the only solution that would appease the liberal haters would be for the Romneys do die. Though this would not satisfy them for very long, and they would just move onto their next target. This would continue right up to the point where someone finally meets them with the force they deserve, or until they are the last man standing.
There is no appeasement, there is no getting along with those that truly want you (an themselves) dead. The sooner we realize this the faster this all can get sorted out.
They are mate, it's called the knockout game!
Or Madonna,Brad Pitt,or Sandra Bollocks ?
“Forget black and white! People are people. If you cannot see a person, they are just a person. People who make fun of a race are an abomination. It’s time to knock it off!”
Mutants like the “MSNBC host” are preventing a color-blind society, which for them is just as well: in such a society, such token would live as the unemployable dregs that they are.
I hate when someone apologizes because “you were offended”. In order for an apology to be sincere you have to realize that what you said or did was wrong, otherwise it isn’t an apology.
She doesn’t regret what she said. She doesn’t see anything wrong with what she said.
Classless people cannot be expected to behave well.
I’ve never understood apologies of this nature. If this is what a person really thinks, what actual value is there in an apology?
A seemingly sincere and insightful apology, absolutely.
It was so seemingly sincere, I have to wonder how some of that insightful sentimate did not bleed out during the panel hilarity. Did she have to choke it back?
Or, did she get in trouble with the boss and have to pull out a skillful apology pronto?
What moron would give this idiot a Sunday show. And what imbecile would watch it.
People should stop apologizing for trying to be funny.
