video On MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry Show this weekend, the absent host's panel once again caused trouble, as they agreed that even proposing a ban on travel from Ebola outbreak nations is racist. Guests Laurie Garrett of the Council on Foreign Relations and Frankie Edozien, New York Times columnist and editor of The AFRican Magazine, first raised the specter of slavery before going straight for the racist label:
GARRETT: "I was on Capitol Hill yesterday. I spoke to lot of the political leadership of the United States and I have to say I was stunned by how many felt the solution was to completely cut off Africa. no visas. no travel. Keep them out. And this is completely missing the point. The hysteria should not be about one person in Dallas. What the world should be hysterical about is that Africa is facing its greatest catastrophic crisis arguably since the days of slavery. This could turn into carnage across a whole region if the world does not assist immediately."
EDOZIEN: "That would never work. Keeping them out would not work. And the idea that you can keep out a whole group of people who are America's partners, whether we like it our not, West African nations are partners with this country ..."
GARRETT: And trying to do that racist. Let's us be frank about it.
EDOZIEN: Exactly. It's borderline racism and fear.

I told you... I’ve said it for years.
People will DIE instead of not being Politically Correct™.
Liberal idiots like Perry will risk their lives and their family’s lives in order to be PC.
They would watch their own family die a horrible death from a disease or watch them be beheaded before they would dare entertain a thought that was not Politically Correct™.
If all they had to do was say some words that aren’t PC or propose an idea that is not PC in order to save the lives of their families... they would not do it. They would rather watch their family die.
Well call me a races as I do not want to die. If it’s no big deal have them all stop off at the White Hut and spend 21 days with president Obola.
Turned mine off 2 years ago. I download movies from the net, or check out videos from the library. I don’t miss it.

I would challenge Ms. Hairy-Paris and her panel to travel to West Africa for a month. Eat the local food, stay with local people, do volunteer work in local hospitals, etc. What? They don’t want to?? They must be Racist!!
“Mommy, the whole neighborhood has turned into Zombies and they are roaming around looking for people to kill. We should lock the doors.”
“No honey, that would be racist. We have to let them kill us. You wouldn’t want to be racist now would you?”
If someone accuses me of being racist for the least little thing, (usually for telling the truth that must never be said) I say ‘yeah, so?’
“you rasis” OK yeah, now what?
“you homophobe” Absolutely, what are you gonna do about it?
My family knows me, my friends know me, I don’t give a flying rat’s patoot what some enlightened yuppie liberal thinks about me. I could not care less.
No No No.... Colonial American slavery of black Africans is the only slavery thats ever existed in the history of mankind. Don’t you know that?
Just might want to pass this along to your friends and family when they listen to the CDC and the rest of the incompetents at the state and local level. Ever wonder why so many doctors and nurses are dying in Africa?
cause YOU KNOW IT’S REALLY NOT THAT CONTAGIOUS!!!! At least that’s what they’re telling us.
This was sent out to emergency room directors and emergency room doctors. I’m posting this on all threads about Ebola.
“since the days of slavery”
Notice how they always go back to it...
I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT
I KNEW this was what was behind the resistance to banning travel from ebola countries.
“....West African nations are partners with this country ...”
.
Partners in what, pray tell? What do these countries have to contribute in a partnership?
Ah, I forgot: O-I-L. But we have plenty of that, ourselves.
Where we made a mistake is to bring that White American doctor home to be treated in the US. THAT WAS RASSIS!
They just have no clue. It will make Walking Dead look like a cartoon.
I’ll bet this is the stance of the WH also.
Ebola is really all about race!
Why don't we just send them to Liberia and be done with them?
These people should be sent to Liberia to help sanitize waste from infected people to prove that they are not racist.
Anyone just hear that Physician on Sean’s Radio program? Downright gave me the creeps. Basically stated it may just decimate third world countries. And if it makes it to Guatemala City then were done. With open borders it would be a flood of Duncans trying to get here. I paraphrase.
Got real scary when he spoke of essential workers, power plant operators, basic infrastructure support personnel not being able to or wanting to work.
He said he hopes to be the biggest chicken little out there.
