MSNBC star Joy Reid says Americans of color are ‘going to look real crazy’ and ‘weird’ if they don’t vote for Kamala Harris in November

Black Americans risk being ostracized by their communities if they don’t fall into line and vote for Kamala Harris, Joy Reid is warning her followers.

In an attempt to shame the vice president’s support for Donald Trump, the enthusiastic MSNBC host warned black voters that they would look “very strange and very lonely” if they didn’t support the “extraordinary woman of color” in November’s presidential election.

And she renewed hostility with black model Amber Rose, who angered her by endorsing Donald Trump at the Republican Party convention last week.

“The door has to be closed behind Amber, and she looks crazy there. But close the door behind her,” the liberal presenter told her nearly two million followers on Twitter.

However, her accusatory demands led to accusations of racism and angry reactions to calls for racial voting.

“No merits. Just special boxes being checked,” wrote one. “Black, female, first black female.”

Reid seemed determined to get her message across as she delivered her close-up scene in a two-minute message to the camera for those she greeted as “fam.”

“Given Vice President Kamala Harris’s stratospheric entrance into the presidential campaign, and now that she’s secured enough delegates to be nominated, it’s pretty crazy to be on the other side of that line, especially as a person of color,” she said.

‘But actually as someone who claims to have some connection with the culture.

“You’re going to look really crazy standing on that side, given the cultural phenomenon that is Vice President Kamala Devi Harris.

“She’s about to make history. She’s about to become the first female president.”

The Brooklyn-born Harvard graduate has fiercely resisted the deafening demands that Joe Biden withdraw from the race, as she said on an RNC broadcast last week, suggesting that his confrontation with Covid was as heroic as Donald Trump’s resistance in the face of an assassin’s bullet.

“If he (Biden) were to be okay in a few days, wouldn’t that mean exactly the same thing?” she suggested.

She also alleged that the Secret Service conspired with Donald Trump to give him a photo opportunity in the seconds after he was shot at his July 13 campaign rally.

“Donald Trump is an older man who for some reason was given nine seconds to take an iconic photo during a shooting.

‘Strange situation, we’ll find out about that.’

She drew fierce criticism from Rose after she scornfully dismissed the model as “racially ambiguous” following her appearance at the RNC.

“I don’t want to say she’s black, because she’s already said that,” Reid claimed.

This woman, no matter what race she claims to be, has said she is not black, but [the RNC] brought in someone whose entire career has been based on black culture.’

The model, who was in a relationship with rapper Kanye West, responded fiercely to the presenter by stating: ‘I never said I’m not black’.

“I said I identify as mixed race,” she added in a now-deleted tweet.

I’m not going to invalidate my white father to make you feel better.

“Stop inciting race. Your president is doing enough racial incitement for all of us.”

Reid responded positively to her position in her tweet on Tuesday, emphasizing that Harris “brings all aspects of the culture together.”

“She’s about to make history. She’s about to become the first woman president,” she predicted.

“She brings together the African American community, the AAPI community, and the youth. She’s a complete meme.

“She would be the first person, either from an HBCU or from real life, to become President of the United States.

‘Besides being the first female president, the first black female president, and the first AAPI president.

“She’s going all out and, more importantly, she’ll be the first female president since the overturn of Roe v. Wade.

“A woman who puts women back in power after they were stripped of our power by six far-right members of the Supreme Court, including one woman who turned against us.”

But her analysis was dismissed as a disparaging appeal to identity politics after it was retweeted from her protected X account.

“Reid’s argument essentially boils down to ‘if you have trouble deciding whether you’re for Kamala or Trump, you’re not black,’ and he’s guilting women into voting for Harris because she could be the first female president,” one wrote.

“Identity-based guilt and anger are the left’s way of controlling people.”

“Do as you’re told, colored people,” paraphrased another, “Where have I heard that before?”

“I have never voted for someone in my life just because they were white. Why would I vote for someone just because they weren’t?” asked a third.

Reid concluded her call with a dig at the artists who showed their support for the former president.

“Honey, this is a cultural moment,” she declared.

“Don’t be on the wrong side of history. Don’t be on the lonely side, because then you’ll look really crazy with Kid Rock.”
