MITT ROMNEY'S Grandchild vs MELISSA HARRIS-PERRY: Melissa Was Wrong!! (Partisan Hypocrite)

#RomneysGrandchild

MSNBC Show Host & Professor MELISSA HARRIS-PERRY was dead Wrong to recently Mock MITT ROMNEY'S BLACK Grandchild on-air.

If nothing else it was done so in poor taste.

Isn't Professor MELISSA HARRIS-PERRY a Bi-racial Woman??

So why pick on an Innocent BLACK Child who was adopted by a WHITE Family??

As long as the Child is being LOVED & well cared for, RACE should NOT matter.

Thus Professor MELISSA HARRIS-PERRY has proven herself to be a Partisan HYPOCRITE!!

By the way....

Tweeting an "APOLOGY" is Not enough.

She needs to go on the air and offer a Former APOLOGY.

First ED SCHULTZ....next MARTIN BASHIR, and now Professor MELISSA HARRIS-PERRY.

I say it's high time for MSNBC Execs to rethink their Show Line -Up.

Both AL SHARPTON & MELISSA HARRIS-PERRY'S Shows need to be re-evaluated.

Melissa Harris-Perry Apologizes To Romney Family


MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry apologized in a series of tweets Tuesday morning for using Mitt Romney's black adopted grandchild in a comedy segment over the weekend.

"I am sorry. Without reservation or qualification. I apologize to the Romney family," the apology started. "I work by guiding principle that those who offend do not have the right to tell those they hurt that they (are) wrong for hurting. Therefore, while I meant no offense, I want to immediately apologize to the Romney family for hurting them."

Each tweet of the apology came with the hashtag:

#MHPApology

"As (a) black child born into large white Mormon family I feel familiarity w/ Romney family (picture) & never meant to suggest otherwise," she continued. "I apologize to all families built on loving trans-racial adoptions who feel I degraded their lives or choices."

In the segment, part of an hour taking a comedic look at 2013, Harris-Perry pulled up a Romney family photo with the newly adopted grandson, who is Black, sitting on Mitt Romney's knee.

One panelist, actress Pia Glenn, sang “one of these things is not like the other” with another joking that it was representative of the Republican Party’s lack of diversity. “It really sums up the diversity of the Republican Party, the RNC.

At the convention, they find the one Black person,” said comedian Dean Obeidallah.

Harris-Perry joked about Romney’s grandson marrying the child of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. The segment brought on a backlash from people like Sarah Palin, Scott Brown and conservative bloggers, demanding MSNBC apologize.

Update 12 p.m.:

Harris-Perry has also posted an apology on MSNBC.com, in which she said the point of featuring the photo was to celebrate it:

On Sunday’s program, we showed a photo of Governor Romney holding his adopted grandson, who is African-American.

The intent of featuring the photo was to celebrate it — I often speak to the issue of the increasingly diverse American family.

Whatever the intent, the segment proceeded in an unexpected way that was offensive. Without reservation or qualification, I apologize to the Romney family and to all families built on loving trans-racial adoptions.
