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.

Here’s what is racist. A bunch of AFRICAN-Americans, who proudly consider themselves AFRICANS before Americans, stand by and do nothing to assist their African relatives, but talk about others being racist. Where is the black Congressional caucus, how about black Hollywood, any black medical personnel willing to make the sacrifice? As usual, let whitey do the heavy lifting and then complain that they didn’t lift enough.
Did MSNBC support President Eboma’s order to ban flights to Israel? Most definitely!
Next,they’ll say the white SS is not protecting the President because he black. Oh wait..........
I didn’t know MSNBC was still on the air.
If you refuse to be infected you’re a racist.
It’s a case of national security. That means ANYBODY!!
If that sounds “racist” to one of those wing nuts, I’ll chip in five bucks for their one way pass on a tramp steamer leaving this country!
If I’m asked to choose between being a racist and being a deadist......

How dare anyone even think of discriminating against Ebola.
Importantly, the Washington Times is conducting a poll about the idea of America banning travel from Ebola stricken West Africa.
It is favored by 93% of poll respondents.
You had better listen up, congress. If this plague is still raging when the new congress takes its seats on January 17, this should be one of the first agenda items on your plate.
"'Allo, this is Abdul of ISIS, scourge of the infidels. 'Ow may I direct your call?"
BtD: "Uh, howdy, Abdul. It's yer bud Abu bin Drill calling. Remember me from the Needlepoint and Suicide Bombing Club?"
Achmed: "Ah, yes, my friend. Those were the days, to be sure. And to what do I owe the pleasure of this communication?"
BtD: "Well, it's about the beheadings. I don't mean to sound hypercritical, but you're just not getting a lot of traction out here with that sort of PR campaign, Abdul. You know, we ran it up the flagpole but nobody saluted."
Achmed (deep sigh): "I am afraid we laid too much emphasis on our core competencies and forgot all about stakeholder buyin, Abu."
BtD: "Well, that's what I'm talking about. What you need is a little name recognition, a little sizzle out there, knowwhumsayin'?"
Achmed: "Ah, many thanks, my friend. I do not know what bloodthirsty terrorists would do without a little marketing advice from an expert. And so whose heads do you think we should, how you say, collect?"
BtD: "Well, I got this here list I'll email you and the boys, Abdul. Have you ever heard of MSNBC?"
We knew it was coming...
These people are dangerously stupid. And they have the same mind set as the dopes in the White House....
I wonder how the African tribe members who captured and then sold their captives into slavery feel about this...
Okay stupid MSNBC libs...put up or shut up. Invite people from Ebola infected countries into YOUR HOMES!!
In this case, they can call me racist all they want. It matters not to me...
These idiots would see tens of thousands of Americans dead just to be politically correct and ignorant.
Understand something, folks...
Libs/Dems simply CANNOT secure the border for any reason.
To do so will put to the lie what they intend to be “the Big Stick” for 2016, full blown amnesty and open borders, insuring a Democrat Majority for decades.
Hey there Delilah what it’s like at your Klan meeting ...
