In reply to the discussion: Are they getting ready to sack Joy Reid at MSNBC? [View all]EffieBlack
(14,249 posts)40. Trump supporters and Wypipo who do and say hateful, racist things TODAY must be understood, coddled,
reached out to, and never ever ever made to feel uncomfortable or guilty about anything they or do, but instead gently "encouraged to do better."
But a badass black woman ally who fights like a beast for everything we supposedly care about said things 10-15 years ago that she's apologized for and clearly, every day and in every way, has demonstrated that she no longer thinks or feels and she's treated like a pariah who must be punished, called out, ostracized, kicked to the curb because, according to them, she can never ever recover from the wrong of her words.
Bullshit.
Racist double-standard bullshit.

No, but repairs on Melania's power pack are almost done, so she can make public appearances again
