MSNBC star Joy Reid says Americans of color are ‘going to look real crazy’ and ‘weird’ if they don’t vote for Kamala Harris in November
Black Americans risk being shunned by their communities if they do not fall in line and vote for Kamala Harris, Joy Reid has warned her followers.
In an apparent bid to shame support for the vice president against Donald Trump, the firebrand MSNBC host warned black voters they were going to look ‘real weird and real lonely’ if they do not back the ‘woman of color extraordinaire’ in November’s presidential election.
And she renewed hostilities with black model Amber Rose who infuriated her by speaking in support of Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention last week.
‘The door needs to close behind Amber, and she look crazy over there. But shut the door behind her,’ the liberal anchor told her near two million followers on Twitter.
But her finger-wagging demands sparked accusations of race-baiting and a furious backlash against being told to vote on racial lines.
‘No merits. Just special boxes being ticked,’ wrote one. ‘Black, Woman, First black woman.’

Reid appeared determined to hammer home her message as she delivered her close-up piece to camera in a two-minute message to the people she greeted as ‘fam’.
‘Given the just stratospheric entrance of Vice President Kamala Harris into the presidential campaign, and she has now secured enough delegates to become the nominee, you’re going to look real crazy being on the other side of that line, particularly as a person of color,’ she said.
‘But really as anyone who claims to have any connection to the culture.
‘You really going to look crazy being on that side given the cultural phenomenon of Vice President Kamala Devi Harris.
‘She’s about to make history. She’s about to become the first woman president.’
