A very smart lady. Kudos to MSNBC.

I might watch her show if they don’t peddle phony racism charges every 5 seconds.

too late.

They should have called it “That’s Racist!”

“Race Card with Melissa Harris-Perry”

I, too, am very fond of her. She is a fresh perspective and I think embodies where America will be in the coming decades.

Im so proud of her. MSNBC couldnt have chosen a more fair balanced contributor to join the family at MSBNC

That’s very good news! Thanks for sharing

What trash!  I had never heard of, or knew of this person before until a few months ago I was up to catch a red eye flight and they were replaying her “fill in” for Rachel Maddow.

I could not believe the trash she was spouting…..racist slant….social welfare expansion….and of course the usual rhetoric “Bush is to blame”.

She is right in there with Al Sharpton with a touch of Farakan.

Weeks later I then found out that she is the wife of COMMUNITY ORGANIZER and Socialist Welfare State promoter James Perry who lives off the misery of the New  Orleans poor.

She will be right at home with the others who blame everyone else, “the man”, and demanding more handouts because everyone is keeping them down, thereby making her own job and her husbands job secure by having all those people dependant on the Obama welfare state!

Expect PLENTY of race card baiting on this show!

PS – I keep hearing people say she is “so smart”.  I suppose if you consider Sharpton smart you will also consider her smart….very little coherence, and I predict ratings will be abysmal.

No more lock-up prison shows?  I will miss watching some good ol’ fashion non-fiction prison episodes. 

They ought to give the show a more honest title like: “See! We Have a Black Host (even if she is segregated to the ghetto, prison-doc weekend slot)”

Nobody knows her now and nobody will know her when she gets her show.

 Another race baiter.  Fits in nicely.  She is cute, though.

 With a RACIST! sign that drops down at the the crucial time.  Like the secret word on You Bet Your LIfe.

 You are clearly un-balanced.

 American will be like New Orleans? Laissez les bon temps roulez.

im sorry she isnt as fair as bill o’reilly right ?

look, roy, msnbc can’t give everyone a show, ok?… but maybe she’s got a shot over at current tv…

Bill is a bully.  The MSNBC talking heads are race baiters.  Is Hillary Clinton a racist?  Bill Clinton?  Geraldine Ferraro?  The race baiters who put Obama in office are shameless. 

Gee, wait at least until she had her first show.

Okay, I collected some of the great answers from the right leaning folks (i.e. extremists):

“Another race baiter”
“[...]  if they don’t peddle phony racism charges [...]”
“That’s Racist!”
“Race Card with Melissa Harris-Perry”
“MSNBC talking heads are race baiters”
“What trash! [...] Expect PLENTY of race card baiting on this show”
“[...] give the show a more honest title like: ‘See! We Have a Black Host’”
“Nobody knows her now and nobody will know her”

And here are the liberals comments:

“A very smart lady”
“She is a fresh perspective”
“MSNBC couldnt have chosen a more fair balanced contributor”
“That’s very good news”

Ceci n’est pas une pipe!

She’s easy on the eyes and very smart…..and she doesn’t make my ears bleed when she talks like Caribou Barbie on Faux

Oh look, it’s the “Joseph Goebbels Show,” starring his literary descendant, Hitler in dreadlocks.

Anyone who can write about this odious little racist of a woman,  ”frank, intelligent commentaries on race and politics” needs to be pink slipped immediately. Perry indulges in hate speech pure and simple and anyone in America thinking about sending their kids to Tulane University should have their heads examined. There is a limit to partisanship and in presenting this woman and Al Sharpton, it has been reached.

On the Ed Show in May of last year she congratulated Obama on creating laws that “liberated more black bodies from the prison system.” If she were white she’d be working at Stormfront.

I assume you recruit for the KKK. Perry will surely drive people into their arms once they get a load of her racial lack of fondness for white people and her obsession with race.

Tamron Hall, Al Sharpton, and Martin Bashear host shows five days a week. 

   All this while dancing on a pole?

pmsnbc programming genius, before you know it mediaite and pmsnbc will be competing with that other ratings giant pbs for audience, way to goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

she is a smart and talented lady……hooray for MSNBC for recogning it.   its smszing how many mysoginists (look it up) there are in the 18-54 age group……who raised these idiots?  yu will be lone for a long time…………….

And here I thought “eponymous” was a cross between a pony and a hippopotamus but I’m glad to know it actually means Melissa Harris-Perry’s show will have a fitting name.  MSNBC is very fortunate to have her, she’s a wonderful professor and a tremendous on air talent.

Oh this ought to be yet another ratings blockbuster for MSNBC :-P

>> “Melissa Harris-Perry” will focus on national politics and will explore the intersections of culture, art and community issues… and will push the boundaries of what we know, how we know it, and where we get our information.”

LOL  the show’s gonna be about where we get our information? Gee, kind of an ironic press release then since — given their piss poor ratings — clearly the one place that Americans DON’T give a crap about or want to get any information from is MSNBC.

But, hey, I’m sure her parents of husband/boyfriend will dutifully tune in.
So at least she’ll have 3 viewers…

That’s like saying we dislike David Duke cuz he’s a man.

It is unbelievable how many felt the need to attempt to denigrate Melissa Harris-Perry and MSNBC. They must really be afraid of liberal viewpoints or else why the vitriol.

Looking forward to her program.

Sweet! I so can’t wait to see her show. I’m DVR’ing all of’em. 

“if she were white”…..you know her mom is white right?….I look forward to the show!

Republican strategy du jour…er…du always.

Accuse the other side of race baiting. Nevermind that no liberal nor the article brought up her race. Nope, the only people who brought up her race where the conservatives who ironically are criticizing her as racist and being racist in the process.

Silly liberals didn’t you know? The only people allowed to talk about race and gender are Republicans. They don’t mind when Sarah Palin or Ann Coulter do their girl power schtick. They don’t mind when Herman Cain does his brotha from anotha motha or Michael Steele does his sassy jive talking. Because duh! They’re conservatives. Get it? Only conservatives can talk about race and when they do they talk about how racism doesn’t exist. Then when someone gives an intelligent and fair minded commentary on race backed up by you know…peer reviewed data and statistics, while still being respectful and not sounding AT ALL militant, Republicans can than cry RACE CARD RACE CARD!!!!! While at the same time playing the reverse-racism card and sneaking in some good ethnic jokes here and there…you know, just to drive home the point that they’re not racists. (I guess they’re doing it ironically??)

When all else fails remember a good Hitler analogy always makes you sound smart.

Hurts to hear the truth eh? Fox recruits the KKK and white supremacists just fine!

 Melissa Harris Perry along with Rachel Maddow are breaths of fresh air!

Truth hurts? Turn to Fox to feel all comfy.

You are clearly unhinged.

You’re a fool

You are a nobody and people really could care less what you think.

GET A LIFE bagger!

Her mother is white you idiot!!

You right wing baggers are disgusting.

Nobody knows you because you are a nobody.

I think Melissa is superb as a new face joins MSNBC.  Unfortunately, you don’t see FOX adding anyone with a darker complexion to their lineup.  You continue to see the same white, pasty faces on a daily basis.  Good luck Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry you will do well—and you are brilliant!

 Lots of NERVE!

 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 And who are you?????????????????????????????????????????

 ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 IDIOT

 Thanks…shows were not bad! We know those race baiter right-wingers won’t like that!

YEAH, just turn those good old-fashioned racist on FOX and add their out of touch low life music—NO CLASS!

 O’Reilly FAIR—you must be dreaming!

 We know who is racist—watch FOX!!!!

 Amen—remember we still like in a racist world.  Look at how the racist right-wing treats the President!

 What is your obsession, sir?????

It was a response to Roy, the above spammer. Your brilliant use of question marks give Native Americans a bad name.

I believe that some don’t know they are racist. Seriously. To be seasoned, balanced, and tolerant is something that one has to learn by association and many just have not done so. It is often a painful process riding oneself of hurtful stereotyping and racist comments. I had a dentist who use to ask me if he was hurting me. When I’d answer “yes,” he would say, “No it doesn’t!” One day while performing a procedure he asked me if that hurt. I said,”Answer it yourself. You’ve always told ME what hurt or did not hurt me. Carry on.”
