Because I am very busy, I do not spend much time on “podcasts” and other social media displays.
However, my news staff keeps me apprised of internet stuff, and it usually falls into one of three categories: personal attacks to get attention, fact-based discussions, and lunatic asylum applications.
Now, I have never met former NBC commentator Joy Reid. On television, she has a lot of energy and likes to demean white men. I think that’s accurate. However, Joy’s point of view did not much please NBC, which let her go.
This week, Ms. Reid secured a headline by calling President Trump and Elvis Presley “mediocre white men” who contribute nothing to the country.
“These people (white men) cannot create culture on their own. Without Black people, Brown people, the DEIs, there’s no culture in America,” Joy opined.
Geez. What would Stephen Spielberg say? Stephen Sondheim? Little Stephen Van Zant?
Instead of providing a spotlight on Black achievements in the arts, Ms. Reid is compelled to denigrate Caucasians. Makes no sense to me.
Apparently, Ms. Reid did not see Elvis’ superb performance in “Viva Las Vegas.” Come on, Joy. I know it’s not “Superfly,” but it’s a fun movie. Especially every scene Ann Margret is in.
To be truthful, there are a lot of mediocre white men. As well as black men. And, well, you get the idea. Mediocrity even extends to women. Occasionally, named Joy.
See you this evening for the No Spin News.
