'What is riskier than living poor in America?' Harris-Perry demanded. 'Seriously! What in the world is riskier than being a poor person in America? I live in a neighborhood where people are shot on my street corner. I live in a neighborhood where people have to figure out how to get their kid into school because maybe it will be a good school and maybe it won't. I am sick of the idea that being wealthy is risky. No. There is a huge safety net that whenever you fail will catch you and catch you and catch you. Being poor is what is risky. We have to create a safety net for poor people. And when we won't, because they happen to look different from us, it is the pervasive ugliness.'
The panel then offered their respective takes on the issue, one guest noting that, sure, the government gives us roads, but some of us use it to go to Dairy Queen, while others use them to build businesses. Another guest pointed out a New York Times cover image of a black man laying back in an otherwise empty-looking New Orleans shelter, which she interpreted as an attempt to give an example of a 'lazy person' living off others' work.
Later on in the show, Harris-Perry offered an apology for 'losing my temper earlier,' adding that it's been a particularly hard week. Harris-Perry, as you may be aware, was among those who lost their homes this past week as Hurricane Isaac slammed into the Gulf.
Have a look at both the segment and Harris-Perry's apology below, via MSNBC:
-
MHP was amazing. I only wish there were more like her telling truth to the knee jerk talking point spouters.
-
M H-P is a classy woman with exceptional intelligence. She has every right to lose her cool once in a while and this was for a good cause. The 'Haves' sometimes can't appreciate the struggles of the poor. Hell, even now, the entire discussion is about the middle class. There once was a time when attention was focused on the poor of the lower class. How long ago did you last year anyone discuss the poor as a class of concern?
-
I totally respect and value MHPs' opinion on most everything'. I also ADMIRE her for STATING THEM.
-
It's becoming more and more obvious that liberals are coming unglued , my God, the statement ' consumers create jobs ' is typical Obama speak. ABO GOOD RIDDANCE.
-
This woman will never get it.
-
She has no clue what it is like to have to earn accolades based on merit and not simply through affirmative action. Neither does Obama. Being successful without race-based force is difficult and she will never understand that.

'Being poor is what is risky. We have to create a safety net for poor people.'
to catch them from the tremendous fall that occurs when the perpetually lazy fall asleep and roll off the Hammock

Yeahhhhhh! We got another fish on the hook. Another rabid, apoplectic Leftist media hack who really ought to be reveling in the joy of Her Boy being president. But it's not 'raining candy' like she and all the other Leftist media hacks declared would happen during the course of brick OBAMO's term.
Someone needs to ask this Leftist media shrew WHY the 'poor' are clustered in DIM LIB cesspools where she lives? If DIM LIBS cared about being 'poor' and 'poverty,' wouldn't those things go DOWN under brick OBAMO? But they're going UP!
Department of Social Services needs to monitor this shrew for the well being of children and pets. She needs to vent. The gal needs to vent.

Not only was MHP releasing the stress of Hurricane Issac'she was speaking a basic TRUTH that the Republican Party REFUSES to answer, and that FLACK that was on her show didn't have the TALKING POINTS to address.

No business can succeed without customer's, or is that something to difficult for you to comprehend?
