MSNBC Guest: ‘You Don’t Have to Have a White Person Around to Have White Supremacy Play Out.’

What makes the academic study of “White Supremacy” and “White Privilege” so perfect for racialists is that it requires absolutely no parameters of study. There are no standards of proof. There is no way any claims can be vetted in peer reviewed journals because the “evidence” can be explained by other factors. Anything and everything can be pointed to as being a result of White Supremacy or White Privilege because of one’s personal worldview — looking at the entire world through a prism of race.

 

And apparently, you don’t even need a white person around for White Supremacy to rear it’s ugly head.

 

On Melissa Harris-Perry’s MSNBC show, Cherrell Brown, identified as a “community organizer,” was referencing the tragedy in Baltimore where a young black man died in transport on the way to the police precinct. When it was pointed out that Baltimore’s entire power structure is black — the mayor, the chief of police, etc. — Ms. Brown proceeded to spew inane nonsense about White Supremacy that shocks a rational mind.

 

HARRIS-PERRY: “It feels to me like part of what’s happening here is — when I say biking while black, we talked about walking while black, in the case in the Freddie gray watching the video and seeing and hearing his agony I keep wondering is there no benefit of a doubt given to a black person in public space. If that is true, if riding an expensive bike in black body inherently generates suspicion then that is the new Jim crow. That’s what Jim crow was is that black bodies in public space are inherently suspicion.”

 

BROWN: “Yes. I want to mention two things — I think it’s so ingrained that you don’t have to have a white person around to have white supremacy play out.”

 

HARRIS-PERRY: “Just pause for a second. What you just said there is going to be difficult for some folks to hear because the discourse of white supremacy can often mean academic discourse. But for ordinary people sitting at home may say did she call all white people racist. So tease that out a little bit.”

 

BROWN: “I will do my best.”

 

HARRIS-PERRY: “I recognize that it’s hard on a TV show.”

 

BROWN: “With an institution like American policing that I believe is founded on anti-blackness, on slave patrols there are things so institutionally ingrained in terms of how we police communities that are anti-black. They may not say in the language that they’ll stop and target black people but when you do this type of proactive policing much akined to stop and risk this effects black and brown and poor communities. This would be almost comical this story in Tampa if it wasn’t so scary. You have 11 year olds, boys as young as 11 being stopped on their bikes in Tampa. This is introducing children to the criminal justice system at an early age.”

MSNBC? Why even watch it/post about it's content. It appeared to me Cherrell Brown, identified as a “community organizer,” was seeking publicity--and she has now gotten some--even from TRR. Giving attention to MSNBC is in a way like giving air time to terrorists. (I know, a bit too strong.)

 

(I was slightly embarrassed for the one white person in the group--who was also a guest?)

 

I would have liked it if PJMedia's Rick Moran had changed a few of his comments in the article (or even added a paragraph adding/suggesting these words) . . .

 

"It’s perfectly in keeping with the academic average American citizen's notion that all white black people subconsciously throw around White Privilege Black entitlements and practice White Black Supremacy without even knowing it. We can’t help it — we are inherently anti-blackwhite . . . "
