It must suck to view everything through a racial prism

I give you Melissa Harris-Perry and Star Wars.

On Sunday’s “Melissa Harris-Perry” on MSNBC, host Melissa Harris-Perry and a panel discussed race and gender in the “Star Wars” movies in light of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” premiering this week.

Harris-Perry ranted regarding “totally black guy” “Star Wars” villain Darth Vader, who is evil when voiced by James Earl Jones and in a black suit cutting off “white men’s hands.” However, she said he turned out to be a white guy when his helmet was removed and when he claims his son went over to the light side of the Force.

“Yeah, like, the part where [Darth Vader] was totally a black guy whose name basically was James Earl Jones, who, and we were all, but while he was black, he was terrible and bad and awful and used to cut off white men’s hands, and didn’t, you know, actually claim his son. But as soon as he claims his son and goes over to the good, he takes off his mask and he is white. Yes, I have many, many feelings about that, but I will try to put them over here.”

There are so many actual racist things in this country, why would you need to pick on Star Wars?

uhhhh, dafuq?

How is it possible this woman has her own show, let alone gets minutes on TV?

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

This is the problem with the SJW's. Instead of digging into actual problems the SJW's sit around and discuss which movies are more racist and more sexist then other movies. They do the same thing with TV shows, books, advertisments, just about anything.

Did you know she is half white?

What is it with Melissssssa Harrisssss-Perry and Obozo hating their white side of the family?

Lady on the left, is that an arm or a crab leg?

Pffft. Even I don't watch MHP. She's like the Beck of the left. Brutally lacking in logic and pure emotion. She doesn't cry like a baby like Beck does, though.

I wonder if IMCC sees the irony in calling someone out for viewing things rigidly?

Not rigidly. I specifically said through the eyes of anything racial. Star Wars? Come on.

And I can't stand Glen Beck either. He's an idiot.

She must not have seen the fact that Darth Vader had many Storm Troopers (dressed in white bad guys) that he ( dressed in Black) was in charge of but it doesn't surprise me as she is an idiot.

 

[Titanhawk2]

And they did rule the galaxy as well, and we know that everyone in authority is bad anyway

He doesn't. And I'm guessing that he doesn't see the irony of complaining about seeing everything through a racial lens while using a racial lens with the Muslims.

Well he hangs out with jailbirds.
