This MSNBC Host Thinks Calling Mitt Romney a ‘Negro’ Is Just About The Funniest Thing Ever

Dec. 31, 2012 6:10pm Becket Adams

MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry broke into uncontrollable fits of laughter Sunday after one of her guests referred to former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney as a “negro.”

“Romney put his foot in his mouth more times in this election from, he pulled that move. He went out there and made a birther joke. Remember? He decided to make a birther joke. Negro, you on TV,” said a curiously attired Elon James White.

A hearty “bwahaha” was had by all.

“Okay, you’ve been called many things. Mitt Romney has been called many things in 2012 and beyond, but Ima go with … is the first time he was ever called a Negro, spelled K-N-E-E-G-R-O-W,” the MSNBC host giggled.

“He doesn’t have that on his business card? Was that just a rumor?” asked another guest.

“This is going to give him so much confidence when he goes back to the NAACP,” said White:

BONUS: In case you’re finding yourself at the intersection or boredom and self-loathing, here’s another video of Harris-Perry and her colleagues talking about — wait for it — racism:

There’s a big difference about being racial and being a racist. If you don’t know the difference, your an idiot.. Black people think they have a good reason for disliking White people because of our country’s past. Being angry at the country is one thing but disliking the white race because of the past is just wrong. They exploit that past for advancement in ideology, self-promotion, scapegoating during times of bad luck. Unfortunately, a lot of white people are too weak to fight back.

  They blame us, it started out as black on black violence.
  What a surprise Blacks captured and sold blacks as slaves.
  So what has changed?
  It’s always someone else’s fault

  And here is the funny part. All Republicans voted for the 13th amendment except 2. Almost all Democrats voted against the 13th amendment yet they are the party for everyone? The poor only vote demo because they are bribed with free services. There is no reason blacks should be mad at Republicans. They fought to end slavery with their lives.

  @myrwo6 – I think you’re correct. I ran a small business in CA for 20 years and in that time I think I had 1 maybe 2 male applicants who were serious about getting a job. The rest were making their required rounds to ‘show proof’ that they were looking for work in order to continue receiving welfare checks. I truly belive that a lot of black men use American history as a reason to simply be lazy. Of course, me saying that out loud makes me a racist in today’s ‘nobody-has-personal-responsibility-government-can-fix-all’ land of oz.
  
  But I did not have the same experience with black women. Black women in general are professional and personally driven. I believe that recovery of the black family will be achieved through the strength of black women. Of course, saying this out loud, is probably also somehow racist.
  
  Interestingly, what you NEVER hear discussed in pretty much any media is how any of us can pinpoint times where are own ancestry has been terribly wronged. I come from Eastern Europe from an area of the world where boarders change faster than a rabbit outrunning a fox. I could easily take the attitude that my ancestors were wronged and therefore I’m entitled to reparation. Any of us could.

  Thought racism died in the ’60s until the Clown Posse took over in 2008.

  I wonder if she or any of the others at the table ever learned about Martin Luther King, what he stood for, and what he was working for. It is people like them, Toure, Cornel West, and the Rev team that keep poor Dr. King spinning in his grave over how his work and message have been so corrupted.

I’ll tell you, the World would be a better place if Mitt Romney WERE a *****!, or an Asian, or a Russian! The World needs more people like Mitt Romney, people who put THEIR MONEY where their mouth is, RATHER THAN OTHER PEOPLES’ MONEY! We’ll never know how great a President he would have been! Even if he were ineffective as President, we’d be light-years ahead of where we are and where we’re headed! We’ve got some truly dark times ahead and we have a traitor at the helm! He’s turned over the ship to the selfish and narrow-minded! Labor is going to win this round, but NOT auto-labor — it will be the doctors! And, it won’t be their fault–if they want to work, they’ll HAVE to join a GOVERNMENT UNION! It’s in the BAG!!!

You can take her, (with these remarks, and Obama with his vile, ignorant remarks about fiscal cliff negotiations), out of the ghetto but apparently you can’t take the ghetto out of them!

  Why does the Blaze keep talking about this Classless woman, Harris-Perry? She is about as low class as I’ve seen as the Blaze tells about some of the other CLASSLESS things she’s said.
  
  Have NO idea who this woman is (THANK GOD) but she’s gonna find herself out on her ear if she doesn’t clean up her act and start using some common sense, if she indeed has any. What does she do on TV? If it’s news, she is supposed to show no reaction to anything she’s reporting. Dip!

Ok I’m gonna go all racist here but WTH it New Years. Before I say this it’s aimed at people like Ms Terry and not at all black Americans. So if your a good person disregaurd my lame attempt at humor and if your not. Well who cares what you think.

Sorry everyone but they were right about Mitt Romney being a *****. He past the test with flying colors (yes a pun)

He doesn’t want a job either . How black is that?? “cha cha chaaaa”

Thank you, MSNBC, for demonstrating that liberals have no idea what racism even means anymore. The only funny part about the last video was that every statement seemed to be even more ignorant than the last.

This is the most Racist people I have ever seen, I can’t believe that these people can be on TV and still have a job. If I talked about a black man like this I would be run out of town.

I never thought I would see the day that our media is so far gone that the devil will have no hard time in gathering them up for eternity. In the meantime, I will pray for the media that they change their ways before they are partially responsible for the downfall of our Country. That is nothing to be proud of and the enemies will gloat. God is with those that have no evil but darkness has fallen on so many already.

  Democrats started the KKK
  A republican president freed the slaves and was killed by a democrat
  democrats have had KKK members in congress and the republicans (being anti-racial) have not.

Yeah…it’s funny that one can call a white man a ***** on television but you better not call a ***** a ***** on television. They prefer afro-american. ***** is the proper name for people of the negroid race. There is nothing inherently wrong with the word knee-gro. It is the people it represents who have destroyed that word.

  Some of Barack Obama’s perry-isms:
  “bamboozler” ?
  “Don’t let them hoodwink you” ?
  “Yes WE Can”
  “fundamental change”
  
  >Michelle Obama did say: “We have to change our history.” .
  
  Hillary Clinton did mention “just words”
