MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry and one of her show panelists recently explained that America isn’t a socialist country because of racism. Because the Founding Fathers envisioned a Socialist America.

Is there anything the left can’t blame on racism?

Transcript via Truth Revolt:

MHP: So we see this comparison a lot that the U.S. is alone, and nearly alone, among Western democracies in not having universal health care or guaranteed paid parental leave or many other perks of a more socialist government. But the question is why. What makes the U.S. different? And the way I tend to frame this to my students is why is there no socialism in the U.S.? The great Eric Foner question. And there`s a one-word answer, Kai, I’m looking at you, friend —

Wright: Let me see. Could it be race?

MHP: Could it be? I mean that becomes the kind of standard story, right, is that in this country, race and racial privilege has trumped class identity as a way of organizing our politics.

a special kind of stupid

[Viking2002]

One word comes to mind, and it rhymes with 'runt'.

[Irenic]

The way she bobs her head around I expected she would start snapping her fingers at any moment. Isn’t she the one that didn’t pay her taxes?

[ponygirl]

Okay, that settles it. The look on her face tells me that it really is painful to be that stupid.

[JohnBrowdie]

socialsm talks when this board advocates a former liberal for president.

[Bullish]

Well, I guess it’s time to get more racist then. We owe people like MHP absolutely nothing, in fact, we should be demanding they pay us back for all the good will we’ve all bestowed upon them.

[clearcarbon]

No racists in Russia, China or Cuba?

[TigersEye]

Gee, I thought it was because it was anathema to the Supreme Law of the Land. You know, the Constitution.

Besides, it has taken hold in spite of the above.

Death to everyone who supports it.

[Jim Robinson]

Idiots.

[Cowboy Bob]

Now we have an argument in favor of racism! Great!

[Richard Axtell]

"Right: Let me see. Could it be... that they actually had a lick of common sense, and not one of them were as much of an idiot this woman?"

Yeah, I think that covers it.

[Impala64ssa]

The only way to sell socialism is by recycling and repackaging the same old crap to each succeeding generation of useful idiots and make it sound like something new and REVOLUTIONARY. Comparable to those sleazy late-night info-mercials pushing the latest get-rich-quick scams, whether it's buying real estate with little or no money down, making a killing in stock market, or some unworkable, mathematically impossible MLM/pyramid racket. When in reality they're the same old scams made to look like something new. Modern day socialist' excuses for it's past failures is that it's been done by the wrong way by the wrong people, but THEY figured out how to do it right,blah blah blah Come to think of it, it also sounds a lot like taqqiyya doesn't it?

[thesligoduffyflynns]

NO, it’s a Special Kind of Effin’ Stupid!!!

[FreedomGuru]

Must be nice to have racism as the all purpose reason for your stupidity, mental illness, rainy day, the price of ground beef, and on and on and on.

[ClearCase_guy]

If it ain’t racism, it’s Global Warming.

[ronnie raygun]

That weave is to tight on her head. SOCIALISM NEVER TOOK HOLD BECAUSE WE ARE A CAPITALIST SOCIETY, where the socialist parasites need a host to survive

[FreedomPoster]

And let’s realize that Capitalism is a term fraught with pejorative connotations thanks to the efforts of the Left. It would be best to make clear that Capitalism = Free Markets + Property Rights + Rule of Law.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

What a ridiculous argument. First of all, racism is alive and well in Europe, they are trailing our progress on race, and I don’t remember seeing a black Prime Minister or President elected in Europe.
