MSNBC host Joy Reid attended Harvard University on account of affirmative action.
Her words. Not ours.
“I got into Harvard because of affirmative action,” said Reid.
Keep in mind, Reid used the segment as justification that the Supreme Court was wrong to rule it unconstitutional to use race as a factor in college admissions.
She said affirmative action made her victim in the classroom:
“I was in a big conference class where some white students stood up and said, ‘Those students, the black students, they’re only here because of affirmative action.” It became a huge argument that we all ended up having,” said Reid.
“I had never had my academic credentials questioned. I had never had anyone question whether I was intelligent — until I got to Harvard. And it was a defining point of my experience there. It was one of the many reasons I was miserable during my freshman year. I felt completely out of place. People kept telling me, “You shouldn’t be here.”
Well, based on her test scores, she should not have been there.
Anyway, here are the consequences of admitting someone into an Ivy League college based on the color of their skin:
Consider that MSNBC continues to use Reid, despite her misunderstanding of the electoral system, on its main desk for election coverage.
It’s no wonder a majority of Americans support the Supreme Court’s decision.
That and because the admission process is systemically racist:
In a meritocracy, Reid would have attended the Colorado Community College System and deputy edited the weekend blogs for Slate.com.
Instead, Harvard accepted her based on the color of her skin and MSNBC hired her to screech about the privileges of white people.
It’s called anti-racism.
One can catch Reid weekdays in primetime. There, she recently warned black people that the GOP keeps them alive “only to cook white people steaks.”
Whatever that means.
If there’s a better argument for getting rid of affirmative action than this, I don’t know of it.
We appreciate the honesty – the first time she’s been truthful in her entire broadcasting career.
As if anyone on Earth didn’t already know that’s the only reason she got in. Also, ten thousand dollars says that “discussion” she had with white students never happened. I guarantee it.
Beat me to it lol, not a chance in hell that discussion happened. The only people who thought she got in on merit are dumber than her.
Goes to show you that ANYONE can graduate from Harvard and that their degrees aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.
A grade one Manila would work just fine….
