12987708, hi hello, i interviewed melissa harris-perry
Posted by Trace, Tue Mar-15-16 11:34 AM
its her first official in-depth interview since the split
here's a bit:

"I’m fine. I am not a civil rights case. I don’t want anyone to march on nothing. I am not a cause. Go to Flint. Real horrible shit happening in the world. I’m a relatively well off, way over educated black girl who had like eight jobs, and now seven. I am fine.

What I do think is not fine is that the end of the show is the end of a space where a lot of voices otherwise can’t be. I do think mass media has a responsibility to put those voices there. I don’t care if I’m not on air. I want those people there. What I do hope is that an outcry about Nerdland forces, encourages, emphasizes, pushes people who do have a platform to say, “Wait a minute: there is room, interest and an audience for that thing.” Whether I have another cable show is pretty irrelevant."

12988209, This was excellent

You two always ask great questions and make the guests clarify their statements. This is probably the most candid interview we'll get from MHP on this.
12988262, I'm glad she knows that.
Posted by daryloneal, Wed Mar-16-16 06:35 AM
Because I personally haven't been able to bring myself to care about the spectacle that's been made of this whole thing.
12988903, So you goofy MFers gunna collect your Ls about MHP

they have no problem telling someone to quit if their boss text them after work but let a person with 8 jobs quit one of them and its "how dare she not be sick when boss is sick"

America has imported more warlord theocracy from Afghanistan than it has exported democracy.
