Joy Reid Is Back With Another Racist Screed

Joy Reid is the queen of racist, anti-American hot takes. Back in March, she said America is simply a Christian version of Iran, where women are more oppressed than their Iranian counterparts, and during the Democrats' alternative State of the Union circus, she tried singing to protest the President.

All of that makes it clear why MSNBC showed her the door, and Reid is back with another racist take.

Joy Reid: "Whites can't invent anything"

She says that in America, in English, on her phone, in a room with AC and light, while promoting their Substack

All invented by white men

"They can't fix the history they did. Their ancestors made this country into a slave hell. But they can clean it up now, because they've got the Smithsonian, they can get rid of all the slavery stuff," Reid said.

"They got Prager U, they can lie about the history to the children," she continued, "they can't originally invent anything more than they were able to invent good music. We black folk gave y'all country music, hip hop, R&B, jazz, rock 'n' roll. They couldn't even invent that, but they had to call a white man the King."

"Because they couldn't make rock 'n' roll, so they had to stamp the King on a man whose main song was stolen from an overweight black woman," Reid said.

Of course, it's not that simple. The history of music is complex, with whites creating classical music, including opera and symphony, as well as cultural music like polka, and country music (including subgenres like bluegrass), which was rooted in European folk music. They also influenced rock 'n' roll, a merger of R&B and white country/hillbilly music. Rock subgenres like punk, heavy metal, and grunge were also pioneered by white British and American bands, including Black Sabbath and Nirvana.
