During Sunday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” host Tiffany Cross criticized the Republican National Convention for its diverse presentation of speakers throughout the week. She dismissed the display as being reflective of the Republican Party and President Donald Trump. Instead, Cross urged viewers not to be “fooled” by Republicans and said the “slew of black speakers” looked like a “modern-day minstrel show.”“If you watched the Republican convention last week, you would almost think the Republican Party is the one welcoming people of color given the big display of diversity,”

Well, to normal humans, they looked like other normal humans who were thinking for themselves and expressing their own views in public.
I didn't see one banjo or tambourine, either.

She really stepped in it with this smart aleck comment. Insulted some very decent black people...
The minstrel show, or minstrelsy, was an American form of entertainment developed in the early 19th century. Each show consisted of comic skits, variety acts, dancing, and music performances that depicted people specifically of African descent. The shows were performed by mostly white people in make-up or blackface for the purpose of playing the role of black people. There were also some African-American performers and black only minstrel groups that formed and toured. Minstrel shows lampooned black people as dim-witted,[1] lazy,[1] buffoonish,[1][2] superstitious, and happy-go-lucky.[1]

Just a reminder to Elie Mystal and the other " folks" at MSDNC:
Which candidate was recently endorsed by white supremacist Richard Spencer?? Hint....it was not Donald Trump!!
How about that for an inconvenient truth?
If you want to find a real racist all you need to do is look in a mirror. I'm sure you have one close by.

The condescension, stupidity and insults from this profoundly ignorant person (and the others spouting similar) are disturbing and disgusting. Each one of these amazing speakers knows that he or she has a lot to lose by being so public in their denunciation of the Democrat party. They will be subjected to abuse such as this article notes, and worse. They know they will be ridiculed and canceled --or the attempt will be made.
Unlike the ugly junk coming out of Cross's spongy brain, we were enriched by the presentations made by the Black speakers at the RNC.
We need to reject this vicious racism coming from the Dem/Left, including that coming from their Black punditry class. And if anyone thinks that doesn't exist, read about the civil war in Rwanda. But we must reject this truly repulsive kind of rhetoric and mentality.

MSNBC, practicing racism front and center for all to see. And doing it for the benefit of the Democrat Party, the Party of Slavery, the Party that voted against the Civil Rights Act. MSNBC is RACIST.

Racism exists in the USA but is primarily in the Democrat party and its 'leader' in the mainstream media.

Democrats have always been the real racists. True back then, true now. Lip service, pander for votes then back on the white Democrat plantation until the next election.
Black America is figuring it out. Like just about everything else, it took Donald Trump to pull it off.

Referring to the wife of Captain Dorn as a minstrel show is the height of depravity.

They have to say this. They are bleeding black support and they know it. They are desperate to keep as many as they can from leaving the plantation. This could be the socio-political equivalent of hobbling.

Tiffany, haven't you heard? Black Americans don't like to be told where to go and who to be and how to act. It almost sounded like you thought they shouldn't have been there. Tiffany's version of a "Whites Only" water fountain.

Tiffany, you do know that the only reason you have a job with MSNBC is because you’re black? You were hired to criticize Black Conservatives because a White person doing so would be called a racist.

Unless this clown is over the age of 60, I'm pretty sure he's never be to, or seen a minstrel show. Those things ended back in the mid sixties. One has to watch the movie, " White Christmas " to even see a Hollywood version of a minstrel show. The ones I use to go when I was under ten years old didn't have the dancing numbers as the movie, it was really a lot of jokes and singing, but I do remember the adults talking about ending them because of the civil rights movement. They were afraid of attracting trouble at the firehouse where the shows would take place each year.

WOW!! How stunningly RACIST of Tiffany to make that remark!! Sadly, it's only her Black Privilege that is saving her job. If she had said this while White, she would be fired, doxxed and crucified by the leftist press and their BLM masters!!

Ms. Cross should check her history books and if she did she would learn that Al Gore Sr., yup you know who his son is, voted against the Civil Rights Bill of 1964. His son Al Gore Jr., went around telling people for the longest time that his father lost his senate seat because he voted for the Civil Rights Bill of 1964. That was a lie. But that's democrats being democrats. There were even stories that when LBJ signed the bill in 1965 he quietly told his closest democratic friends that "Those (n-word) will vote for us for the next 200 hundred years. But Republicans are racist.

Some ignorance is not curable. Please look up Al Jolson. White man, did blackface!
So Jolson was racist?

pssst, Tif, shaming blacks does not work so well any more. Ask Ms. Klacik. But we do appreciate the help. See you in November.

Leave it to PMSNBC to diss blacks, the very ones they want to keep on the plantation. I guess they just can't help themselves from stabbing blacks in the back every time.

Given the large number of elected Democrats who have appeared in black-face (or is that Black-face?), one can readily believe that they are experts in black minstrel shows.
