Joy Reid gives 'white progressive women' some bad news about black women's interest in Democrat causes after Harris' defeat



MSNBC host Joy Reid remained on her far-left warpath following Vice President Kamala Harris' resounding loss to now President-elect Donald Trump last week, sharing some bad news with "white progressive women."

Reid hopped on TikTok Saturday and said, "I just wanna give some free advice to the white progressives, particularly white progressive women, who may be thinking about marching against the Trump victory, maybe putting back on the P-word hats and doing that thing. I would just say probably don't send any of those invites to any black women you know. I'm just gonna tell you right now they're not coming."

'Yeah,' one commenter wrote to Reid. 'I'm going to be busy vacuuming my ceiling.'

Reid continued: "Like, I'm pretty sure black women have resigned from the ‘Save America’ coalition, ‘Save Democracy’ coalition, and definitely the ‘Save the Democratic Party’ coalition. I think that's probably not happening; I would just keep those invites maybe among your own friends 'cause I don't think they're coming. … I think black women are now [focused] on the [goals of] save black women, prioritize black men, and prioritize black communities, black businesses, and ... the black spaces. But save America, save the Democratic Party? Yeah, I don't think that's happening."

Indeed, Reid on election night complained that "white women" failed to come through for Harris in the battleground state of North Carolina — merely one of Harris' numerous crushing losses in the electoral vote tally.

"Black voters came through for Kamala Harris; white women voters did not," Reid lamented last week. "That is what appears happened in that state." She went on to say that the Harris campaign wasn't able to "flip enough white women" even though women in North Carolina "lost their reproductive rights."

She added during MSNBC's broadcast, "That message obviously was not enough to get enough white women to vote for Vice President Harris, a fellow woman, this will be the second opportunity that white women in this country have had to change the way that they interact with the patriarchy."

How are observers reacting?

In the comments underneath Reid's TikTok video, it appears other black women are agreeing — some rather hilariously — with her prediction that they'll be sitting out future activism for Democrats:

  • "Yeah," one commenter wrote to Reid. "I’m going to be busy vacuuming my ceiling."
  • "I can't I'mm washing my hair, it's gonna take 4yrs," another user announced.
  • "I’m tired!" another commenter shared. "I’m watching 227 reruns that day…"
  • "Facts! On a 4 year PTO…" another user stated.
  • "Thank you," another commenter said. "I'm tired of fighting for others. I have no fight in me right now."

Black Abortion Rates Are As Disproportionate As Incarceration, But The Left Doesn’t Care

Democrats in angst over Dobbs believe that aborted babies, including black babies, are something less than human requiring no protection.

Race-Obsessed Leftists Don’t Want To Talk About The Abortion Rate Of Black Babies

The multi-billion-dollar abortion industry isn’t trying to protect anyone’s rights; it’s trying to profit off vulnerable black women.

New poll shows vast majority of Americans reject Biden's Supreme Court nominee promise



The vast majority of Americans disapprove of the criteria with which President Joe Biden has promised to use when nominating the next Supreme Court Justice.

After Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer announced his retirement last week, Biden immediately reaffirmed a campaign promise to nominate a black woman to replace Breyer.

"The person I will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity. And that person will be the first black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court," Biden said on Thursday. "It's long overdue in my view. I made that commitment during the campaign for president, and I will keep that commitment."

What did the poll say?

A new ABC News/Ipsos poll published Sunday discovered that 76% of Americans want Biden to "consider all possible nominees" — not make a decision based on race or gender. Just 23% of respondents said they want Biden to follow through on his promise, the poll found.

Nearly every Republican surveyed (95%) said Biden should consider every possible nominee, while a majority of Democrats polled (54%) said the same.

Meanwhile, the poll found that a whopping 69% of Americans disapprove of Biden's handling of record inflation; 75% of respondents described the state of the economy as "not so good" or "poor."

What is the White House saying?

White House spokesman Andrew Bates rebuffed criticism over Biden's promise, which critics have likened to affirmative action.

In fact, Bates claimed that Biden's promise "is in line with the best traditions of both parties and our nation," according to the Washington Post. Bates specifically invoked Ronald Reagan's promise to appoint a woman to the Supreme Court, a promise that resulted in Sandra Day O'Conner becoming the first female Supreme Court justice in 1981.

However, constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School, disputed on Friday the exact comparison that Bates made.

According to Turley, Biden essentially ruled out considering any male judges or non-white female judges by promising that his nominee "will be the first black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme Court." On the other hand, Reagan did not rule out non-women from consideration.

"What is most striking about the Reagan-Biden comparison is how unnecessary it was for Biden to categorically rule out non-female and non-black applicants. He could have simply made clear that he wanted to add a black female to the Court and would make that a priority without promising that the first vacancy would be barred to other genders or races," Turley explained.

Ric Grenell gives scorching response to Michelle Obama's claim that black women are 'invisible' to white Americans



Former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell offered a counter argument Monday to former first lady Michelle Obama's assertion that black women like her are "invisible" to white Americans — and he invoked her husband to make his point.

What are the details?

The New York Post reported last week that Mrs. Obama claimed on her podcast that black women are "invisible" to white people in the U.S., recounting a story where a white woman cut in front of her and her daughters when they were in line for ice cream without their Secret Service detail.

In response to the Post's story on Twitter, Grenell noted, ". @realDonaldTrump saw Alice Johnson. @BarackObama didn't see Alice Johnson."

Alice Johnson — who is black — served over 21 years of a life sentence for a nonviolent drug offense before President Donald Trump commuted her sentenced two years ago. Just days ago, President Trump granted her a full pardon.

Johnson, now 65, was denied clemency by President Barack Obama three times.

Grenell, who is the first openly gay person to serve in the cabinet of a U.S. president, has been an ardent defender of President Trump, and has especially been a thorn in the side of the media and other critics of the administration on social media. Grenell and Johnson spoke at the Republican National Convention last week.

Anything else?

Johnson has used her platform to serve as an advocate for further criminal justice reform and has praised President Trump for not only freeing her from prison, but for signing the First Step Act legislation into law.

Last week, she was reportedly one of the people harassed by rioters outside the White House after leaving the convention.

According to an exclusive report by The Daily Caller, two sources told the outlet that Johnson disclosed to a group of journalists and other public figures on a call over the weekend that "as [Johnson] left the White House, she was accosted by a group of demonstrators who yelled things at her that she had never heard before."

One source added that "Johnson also told the group that the demonstrators told her they wanted to do 'terrible things' to her."

A number of guests were seen on video being accosted leaving the RNC on its final night, including Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who was harassed and physically threatened along with his wife, Kelly. The perpetrators repeatedly urged the senator to say the name of Breonna Taylor.

Sen. Paul — a longtime advocate of criminal justice reform — introduced the Breonna Taylor Act earlier this year, calling for an end to no-knock warrants.

Michelle Obama says white America views black women like her as 'invisible'



Former first lady Michelle Obama said on her podcast Thursday that white America views black people as invisible — unless they're seeing those black people as a threat, according to the New York Post.

Obama recalled times when she was in public and treated with disrespect because when she wasn't surrounded by Secret Service, white people didn't pay her any attention.

"We were stopping to get ice cream, and I had told the Secret Service to stand back because we were trying to be normal, trying to go in," Obama said. "When I'm just a black woman, I notice that white people don't even see me. … I'm standing there with two little black girls, another black female adult, they're in soccer uniforms. And a white woman cuts right in front of us to order. Like, she didn't even see us.

"All she saw was a black person, or a group of black people, or maybe she didn't even see that," Obama concluded. "Because we were that invisible."

Obama also said that white people don't understand how black people feel being dismissed or viewed with hostility by the white people around them. From excerpts courtesy of the Post:

"When I've been completely incognito, during the eight years in the White House, walking the dogs on the canal, people will come up and pet my dogs, but will not look me in the eye. They don't know it's me," the former first lady said in "The Michelle Obama Podcast."

"What white folks don't understand, it's like that is so telling of how white America views people who are not like them. You know, we don't exist. And when we do exist, we exist as a threat. And that, that's exhausting," Obama continued.

"What the white community doesn't understand about being a person of color in this nation is that there are daily slights, in our workplaces where people talk over you, or people don't even see you," she said in the episode, which also featured pals Danielle Pemberton-Heard, Kelly Dibble and Dr. Sharon Malone.

The former first lady has become arguably more popular since leaving the White House than she was while Barack Obama was president. Her book, "Becoming," has sold more than 10 million copies, and she has the top-ranked podcast on Spotify.
