Melissa Harris Perry Smile With Family Despite Losing MSNBC Gig

Some Black Family Preciousness: Melissa Harris Perry And Family At The View

We’re finally getting a good look at that baby girl we have heard so much about since Melissa Harris-Perry made the announcement about her arrival in 2014.

The beautiful and intelligent scholar and television host made an appearance on the show Monday to discuss her departure from MSNBC following an email she sent revealing how she’d been mistreated by network execs.

Harris-Perry told the hosts:

‘Did I think it was racialized? Not in the sense of like they’re coming after Melissa for being black.

‘Do I think it has racial implications? 100 percent. Our show had the most diverse guests on cable news, period.

Taking this show off the air, even if you put me individually back on as a host, meant that the folks who sat at our table, whether they were transgender, women of color, Latino Republicans, they just weren’t going to be there anymore – because we were the folks who put them on air each and every week.’

She also went into further detail about why she sent the email, saying the network basically put her on pause because she didn’t want to focus solely on the presidential election:

‘The easiest way to describe this is if you think about a relationship. Have you ever been dating somebody and presumably you guys are still dating but not really – like he hasn’t called?

‘Y’all haven’t not been out in months. And all the places where you used to go together, actually he’s out there with somebody else and you’re like, I am pretty sure we are not dating anymore.

‘That’s kind of what happened with the show.’

Wow that’s deep!
