…And insists she won’t be a ‘token, mammy, or little brown bobble head’
DailyMailUK: MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry has walked off her eponymous show, citing frustrations with the network’s treatment and a loss of control over the program’s content.
Harris-Perry, whose show airs on both Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to noon, is refusing to host this weekend after being sidelined for two weeks.
In a letter to her colleagues published on Medium, she wrote that she was deemed ‘worthless’ by the network, and fought back by saying: ‘I will not be used as a tool for their purposes. I am not a token, mammy, or little brown bobble head.’ MORE
Wow! The one person who watches the show is going to be sad.
Sorry melissa but you were hired as a token, mammy, and little brown bobble head to spew leftist drivel at MSNBC.
MSNBC is just reminding you that you aren’t that important, marxist token bobble heads such as yourself are a dime a dozen. (The universities are filled with them….and they are younger, smarter and prettier.)
Former viewers found you worthless many moons ago, so did the IRS when you didn’t pay your taxes.
On the bright side, you’re right up there with the dullard and less than reverend al sharpton.
Maybe you can be a weather person at some local tv station in Arkansas or join bernie’s campaign as his chief token, mammy bobble head.
Good luck bitch, you won’t be missed.
I used to watch MSNBC back when Imus was on. Have not seen it since.
“If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”
Isn’t this the twat that used tampons for ear rings?
Her head will be one of the 1,000s exploding this coming election night.
MSNBC where the questions and answers are pre-scripted (can you say mizled) and the propaganda flows like water. Melissa dear, you’ve always been a “token, mammy, and a little brown bobble head” with agenda-driven crap oozing out of yer mouth. The way I see it is that you’ll just be doing the same thing somewhere else.
MM, the station hired her tampon earrings in her place.
I would love to punch her face in. I hate her self righteous guts
Looks like she had that “notion” that that job was her own.
If I don’t see her again, So what!
The network is not alone in deeming you worthless, Missy.
Take the clue. You are on the wrong side of all that is good.
The STAR of MSBSN jumps but there’s no lower rung on that ladder.
A person who hangs tampax’s from their ears has more problems than being silenced.
This just in…..Melissa Harris Hyphen Perry walked off her show and left the building. Upon realizing she forgot her car keys and purse she was unable to gain reentry to the building because no one recognized her.
Who?
Maybe it’s just me, but why is a person wearing tampons as earrings expecting to be taken seriously?
She doesn’t need to be silenced! She spots gibberish that only she can understand! Garbage in garbage out!

Under a serious delusion that anything she said mattered.
Does anyone even use the term “mammy” anymore, or is this just another myth associated with the “race card?”
“Mammy, mammy,
The sun shines east, the sun shines west,
But I know where
the sun shines best!
Mammy, mammy!
My heart strings are tangled around
Alabamy!
I, I’m-a-comin’,
I’m sorry I made you wait,
I, I’m-a-comn’,
I hopin’ that I’m not late,
Mammy, mammy!
I’d walk a million miles,
for one of your smiles,
My mammy!”
-The Jazz Singer, 1927.
I found these tidbits on Wikipedia:
She was the one that made fun of Romney’s adopted black
grandson on live national television. Labeling that child as token black to the entire world.
She is an Associate Professor of Political Science and African-American Studies. What is “african american studies”?
Yes, she is a token, mammy, and little brown bobble head.
The network wants her gone and is allowing her to make it look like it was her decision.
Maybe she can use those tampons to soak up her tears.
Even Rachel Dolezal is blacker than this white bitch.
Jethro nailed it: she’s a Prof of African -American studies, which means she is a “token” hire by the University. White people couldn’t even APPLY for the job she has regardless of their degree.
Nothing sadder than a sad, affirmative-action, nothing-burger.
Maybe she could hook up with Kneel Yo’Greasy Tyrone and form a tap-dance team – y’know – like Rogers and Astaire?
Bye, Missy! Don’t let the screen door hit you in your bubble ass on the way out!!
Looking at her hair style gives me a headache. Those tight tiny tiny braids look painful.
She isn’t photogenic anymore, a woman who is always angry gets those unattractive face lines. Her style, her borderline intelligence, politics, her demeanor are a dime a dozen on liberal TV. There are thousands of pretty young “brown mammy bobble-heads” ready to take her place.
So she joins the ranks of other fired horrid MSNBC biased idiots. They aren’t missed, and neither is she.
She’s a left wing, race-hustler along the lines of the good Rev Al. If MSNBC is smart they’ll state that by not showing up she is deemed to have abandoned her job and terminate her hateful ass. I gather the new head of News for NBC is trying to pull the newsgroup away from the hard left and more toward centre (no doubt due to collapsing ratings) and this would be a great way to get rid of some of the deadwood. In any event I suspect that Harris-Perry isn’t going to be finding a good media job anytime soon as most networks don’t like to hire ticking timebombs that don’t even bring in the viewers.
Well Melissa honey, we hired you because you are black but now you have proven to be ridiculous; an embarrassment on the air, with your stupid ear rings and comments. To put it bluntly: you are fucking worthless
The International Association of Token Mammies and the Society of Little Brown Bobble Heads for Justice did not return any of my calls. I am devastated.

Is she related to Rachel Dolezal?
Maybe she’ll wind up doing laundry for a uniform rental company.
She was pre-empted for two weekends for ELECTION coverage; so then she boycotts her own show, and takes herself off the air for the 3rd weekend in a row. Giving her few viewers a 3rd weekend to forget who she is. I didn’t say she was very smart.
She and her husband aren’t being paid very well for their “expertise”. Most tv show persons married to lawyer/activists would probably have paid that debt from petty cash.
They took her off the air during the debate coverage because she’s an idiot, but no more an idiot than those they left on. So she has a point. Go for the jugular Melessa babe! Use the race card and win.
I’m sorry, but I just have to ask…
What’s the down-side to this?
She was probably an affirmative action handicapped hire because of her speech impediment.
@cato – That was awesome!
Since Melissa likes to self identify as a nineteenth century stereotype, it would be remiss not to describe her as one of the most notable uncle toms of this century’s Democrat Party’s political plantation.
The ploy to boycott MSNBC is an attempt to move from the field to the big house. It won’t work, she’s fired. MSNBC is looking for a young leftist millennial BLM tool to replace her.
