Princeton professor and professional race-baiter for MSNBC Eddie Glaude spoke with host Craig Melvin on MSNBC Live Wednesday morning to bash the Covington kids as symptoms of white privilege. Yes, getting your name, image, school and family smeared all over television and online, while receiving death threats is apparently a symptom of “white privilege,” or at least that’s what Glaude tried to argue. Melvin also claimed that anyone wearing a MAGA hat was asking for trouble.
After the media reluctantly acknowledged that additional videos contradicted many of the horrible claims made about the Covington kids over the weekend, Glaude and Melvin wondered if the kids deserved to be able to defend themselves to the media. Glaude claimed black kids were never given the benefit of the doubt by the media while white kids were always given second chances by the media:
I think more than anything, underneath some of the backlash against hearing the young man is this question, who are allowed the innocence of childhood, right?...Why do we always do this in these sorts of cases, when white boys are involved, and what do we do, how do we react when brown and black kids are involved?
Later he added
So underneath this is this sense of hypocrisy. Underneath this is a double standard. Underneath this is that we give privilege to these white kids. He can sit down with Savannah Guthrie and redeem himself, but then there are all these other folk who we just presume, you know, who aren't so innocent
Melvin responded that Glaude’s race-baiting “made a lot of sense,” before slamming Nick Sandmann for not saying “I’m sorry” in his NBC Today show interview Wednesday morning.
Glaude then went on a rant about masculinity that would fit well into a Gillette ad before bashing Sandmann for not “responsibility for what happened.” Melvin moved on to ask about the MAGA hats, actually saying that just by wearing one you were “inviting” a “confrontation:”
That hat has become symbolic of a lot of things in this country. To some, it is nearly a hat that dons a political slogan that the president popularized. For others, it has become an invitation for confrontation. Some people referred to the hat as a modern day version of the confederate battle flag. Do we think that the same reaction would have been had on both sides if he weren't wearing that hat?
MSNBC: If You Wear a MAGA Hat You're 'Inviting' a 'Confrontation,' KKK
Glaude invoked radical left-wing actress Alyssa Milano, who called the red hats a modern-day symbol of the KKK. Glaude also smeared the boys by repeating debunked claims that they shouted “build the wall,” as well as a dubious video posted by a liberal activist that shows an unidentified group of boys yelling at her, as the Covington kids:
Probably not. There was a sense in which the hat announced a certain set of political commitments. Alyssa Milano the actress I think described the hat as a modern day white sheet. I think that's how she described it. The hat in some ways for many of us a kind of racial animus...Make America great again is a kind of nostalgic longing for the 1950s...which black people were to stay in their place, where browns were to stay in their place, and white people were to be treated differently and valued according to the color of their skin. Yes, I think if the hats weren't involved, it might not have been as intense. But there were also words. There were a lot of people who said that, you know, build the wall, build the wall, said that was shouted. We saw footage later on of the young men cat calling at young women walking by.
Sad.
Why?
This whole hate America thing will end up getting lots of people killed.
Just sayin
5.56mm
This is incitement to violence by MSNBC and needs to be prosecuted as such.
I’m thinking of ordering a bunch of MAGA bumper stickers and pasting them on every Prius with holier-than-thou Coexist crap and every alphabet network van that I see.
The wonderful thing will be that all damages done will be by cretin progressives TO cretin progressives.
Awesome man!
Darn tootin !
Darn tootin !
They are going to regret it.
Eddie talks like his new stash from Mexico made it in. FU pal. Any maggot like you working for PMSNBC is always looking for a fight when you’re not running and hiding behind mommy’s skirt.
this is the network that has also used solicitation
of violence by sex, with the FBI proving it is
as disinterested in this, as it is with attempts
on the PRESIDENT’s life, or warnings of attacks
by Russia that Boston would be hit.
I just ordered two more today too. I misplaced my last one. Not looking for confrontation. But will no longer allow the maniacs to bully and suppress our rights.
When I wear my MAGA hat, I often go out of my way to be pleasant and helpful to others, especially those of certain strong democrat demographics. Hold doors, smile, greet people etc. so they see that we’re not the mean nasty ogres the media and liberals have programmed them to believe we are.
The other day, I had on my MAGA hat and was pulling away from the gas pump. I saw a lady pumping gas who happened to be black. He car hood was up and unlatched. I stopped and got out of my car, got her attention and told her that her hood was up and I didn’t want her to get hurt if it popped at speed. I pushed her hood down, she thanked me and I went on my way. Mission accomplished.
I ordered one yesterday.
MSNBC Claims Anyone Wearing MAGA Hat peace symbol is Looking to Fight,
MSNBC Claims Anyone Wearing MAGA Hat hijab Is Looking to Fight,
MSNBC Claims Anyone Wearing MAGA Hat Obama t-shirt is Looking to Fight,
That kid deserves a LOT of credit for his composure. Not sure I could have done the same.
We have now witnessed the complete recycling of Nazi propaganda used against German Jews of the 1930’s to whites of the USA in 2019.
Whiteness is the functional equivalent of Jewishness in Nazi Germany.
Dang! All of those missed opportunities when I could’ve punched people wearing Obama gear. Who knew it was acceptable...
