TOMMY CHRISTOPHER: “You’d be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude.”
That’s him talking right to you.
JOY-ANN REID: So I will start by saying, JD Vance, since you’re paying attention to me: F–k you!
TOMMY CHRISTOPHER: Whoa!
JOY-ANN REID: And I say that on behalf of every Black woman who heard you call Kamala Devi Harris “the trash.”
You calling a woman whose mother came to this country to do cancer research and to try to cure cancer. Who lost her mother not that many years ago, whose mother is the same exact racial identity as your wife.
The fact that you would stand in front of a crowd of mainly White MAGAs and call that woman who was the vice president of the United States, the highest elected female politician, political official in our nation’s history, call her “the trash” four days before the election?
Like, f–k you, forever!
There’s nothing you could ever say that I would take as advice, friendly or otherwise. I don’t need advice from you. You need to learn how to be a decent human being and you need to apologize to Kamala Harris for what you said. So let’s start with that.
The second thing is: JD Vance, I did not say that my mother said this country was not a land of opportunity for people like us. You need go back and listen to the interview.
What I probably said, I would have to pull up the interview, but what I will say again is that my mother came to this country as an immigrant. And believed in the sales pitch of what America says that it is, that it calls itself this sort of land of opportunity.
But what happens is if you are Black, you immediately come here and it isn’t long before you are treated the same way that America treats all of its Black citizens, as second class citizens, as people who need to, quote unquote, be grateful for White people apparently giving them opportunity.
See, in your statement, you forget the part that you believe for yourself, that White people earn their opportunities, that they create opportunity, that when they get a good job or get a big house or get a good salary, it’s because they earned it.
You, because you are a racist a–hole, believe that Black people are given opportunity by White people.
So you can’t accept that my mother, who became a PhD holding college professor, earned her opportunity to be a professor.
You think that someone White gave her that opportunity or that she stole it from, or, you know, Charlie Kirk’s version is she stole from somebody White.
