Ann Coulter: This Thanksgiving, Joy-Ann Reid has much to be thankful for – Marshall News Messenger

Why such a sourpuss, Joy-Ann? On the whole, life and MSNBC are treating you pretty well. And yet, over the last 10 years, you have complained pretty much nonstop about how badly you, and people who look like [you], are treated in America.

I will take on faith, Joy-Ann, that your life up to age 16 spent in the racist hellscape that was 1980s Denver, Colorado was practically a maelstrom of cross burnings, Night Riders and segregated water fountains.

Lets focus on the recent past.

You were admitted to Harvard with SAT scores that would have gotten an Asian kid disowned by his parents.

You manage to keep your show at MSNBC with ratings that would get a white person canceled.

People try harder to laugh at your excruciating jokes than they would for a male of any race.

Plus, I have it on good authority that no one at MSNBC has pestered you about touching your hair.

Your brief daytime show on MSNBC made ratings history, garnering only 38,000 viewers in the demo its first day on air the lowest for the entire network! That inched up to 56,000 viewers two days later, the second lowest for the network. Ronan Farrows show debuted the same week. But while he was quickly cashiered for poor ratings you were promoted, even though he is white and you are Black. Dodged a bullet there!

You werent prosecuted for making a false FBI report when you claimed that right-wing saboteurs had hacked your blog, planting long, venomous threads about gay people. It seems your go-to attack for celebrities and Republicans is to accuse them of being gay. (For example, you described Dick Cheney topping off Sean Hannity and repeatedly ran your Top 5 totally not gay celebrities of the year.)

Nor were you fired for your preposterous, and quickly disproved, lies about having been hacked when it was you who mocked people for being gay including Oprah.

Your many, many blog posts sneering at gays were written just 10 years earlier, when you were an adult and a professional journalist. Meanwhile, teenagers even white ones! are being thrown out of college for the stupid things they said on Snapchat when they were 15. But you came through like a champ, without consequence despite being Black!

Indeed, instead of firing you, MSNBC gave you a prime-time show. This is the network that canned Chris Matthews (astonishingly, another white male) for telling girls theyre pretty. And who took the humiliated Matthews time slot? YOU DID! Despite the fact that he is white and you are Black.

Actually, if you think about it, in a deeply racist, majority-white country, youve done pretty well issuing nonstop libels against white people. Here are three recent quotes:

Joy-Ann: Ill say it again: People on the right would trade all the tax cuts for the ability to openly say the N-word like in the good old days.

That comment, like many made by you, seems at variance with the facts, and not based in reality. But has your delusional hatred of white Americans held you back? Not sos youd notice.

Joy-Ann: Currently, most K-12 students already learn a kind of Confederate Race Theory, whereby the Daughters of the Confederacy long ago imposed a version of history wherein slavery was not so bad and had nothing to do with the civil war, and lynchings and violence never happened.

Were you taught Confederate Race Theory at your high school, Joy-Ann? You know, the high school in Denver, Colorado, in the 1980s? My heart wants to believe you, but my head is telling me, This woman is a lunatic fantasist.

Ill tell you why I say that. Just 10 years after you matriculated at Denvers diverse Montbello High School, a Nation of Islam minister was invited to speak, whereupon he told the assembly (all boys, no girls allowed) that, while Blacks were building the Egyptian pyramids, white people ate their dead and slept with animals. Even you have to admit, THAT wasnt racist.

Joy-Ann: (I love boxing because) its a sport, even at the turn of the 20th century, where a Black man could beat up a white man in front of an entire crowd and not get lynched.

Wow. People who are actually descended from American slaves Joy-Ann is not one of them dont hate white Americans that much. Yet, strangely, white Americans, despite being white, havent held that against you.

Your immigrant parents came here in the late 1960s, settling in Iowa. Perhaps you rank Iowa up there with Denver as a bastion of Jim Crow, but even you would have to concede it was a step up from Guyana and the Congo.

While having zero American slave ancestry, you have managed to elbow aside actual descendants of American slaves (DOAS), gobbling up the benefits earned by their ancestors suffering, and intended for them. That was a good deal for you!

Finally, notwithstanding the White Power Structure, you have a job that reportedly pays $1.5 million a year, which is more than 99.9 percent of Americans make even several white ones! All in all, that doesnt sound so bad.
