MSNBC: Romney Racist For Giving $50 To Black Woman


Not only another no-win for a Republican, but yet another example of how desperate the Left is get the black vote in out there come November. Of course, if Romney ignored this woman or didn't offer her any money, they'd still call him "RACIST!!!". Proof again that Republicans are just wasting their tine going on a failing, liberal network like MSNBC:
MSNBC commentators were not pleased that Mitt Romney gave a struggling unemployed woman $50 after she told him about her hardships.


MSNBC's Alex Wagner called it "one of the more uncomfortable moments on the campaign trail," setting off an angry response from the analysts on the panel.


"As an African American woman it galls me. I don't even like to watch it. I felt like it plays into every sort of patronizing stereotype of black people." MSNBC contributor Joy-Ann Reid said, "'Oh, here is this little lady let me give her 50 bucks'. . . I think it plays into that conservative meme, that you don't need actual programs that the government puts in place to help people in need, we'll just give them charity, I'll just give him 50 bucks."


"There are alot of very convenient elements to this story, as you said Joy, it really makes cringe. We have this black woman who suddenly almost becomes this mascot for the campaign." said MSNBC contributer Janell Ross, "She is sort of affirming all sorts of Conservative ideas about whose poor and how certain people deal with their poverty and seek out the assistance of a wealthy white man to hand you some form of aid."
