The Racist Right Wants To See The Ax Fall On Melissa Harris-Perry!

Melissa Harris-Perry comes out with an apology towards perennial loser Mitt Romney. 

Over the weekend, Tulane University professor and Obama News agitator Melissa Harris-Perry got into some hot water after she took a shot at the perennial loser Mitt Romney's adoptive grandson.

While the racist right comes out in defense of Phil Robertson, the patriarch of Duck Dynasty for his homophobic and racist comments, they would go after the Obama News commentator because she believes that the former Republican nominee is condescending asshole. I really agree with that assertion.

Harris-Perry had the panelists attempt to caption a Romney family photo, which included all of Mitt Romney's grandchildren.

Harris-Perry joked that Kieran Romney would marry Kanye West's daughter, North West.

Panelist and comedian Dean Obeidallah said the photo "really sums up the diversity of the Republican party."

Pia Glenn, upon seeing the photo stated, "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just isn't the same." Another panelist likened an adopted black grandchild to a token black person appearing at the Republican National Convention.

A huge family for the countless time loser!
Harris-Perry stated that "My goal is that in 2040, the biggest thing of the year will be the marriage between [Romney's grandchild] and North West. Can you imagine Mitt Romney and Kanye West as in-laws?"

Harris-Perry specifically stated the Romney grandchild by full name. Immediately after the show backlash erupted. A few days after the show, Harris-Perry apologized in a series of tweets for using Mitt Romney's black adopted grandchild in a comedy segment on the show.

Will the racist right start calling for blood again?

Because they've gotten rid of Martin Bashir and Alec Baldwin.

Melissa Harris-Perry's program features panel discussions focusing on national politics while exploring the "intersections of culture, art and community".

The show's two-hour running time allows for a more diverse pool of guests compared to typical cable news programs. In addition, since the show airs on weekends, Harris-Perry says it has "a little bit more breathing room" to respond to the weekly news cycle.

Harris-Perry encourages viewers to interact with the show via Twitter using the #nerdland hashtag, which she uses to describe an occasional destination for its topic field and intensity of discourse.

The shows places a strong emphasis on pop culture in an effort to expand the idea of what is considered "political".

Instead of political pundits, Harris-Perry often invites academics, activist Hollywood stars and underrepresented voices as guests. In addition, she often discusses politics outside the beltway, including politics of the South (known as the Southern Strategy).
