White people want black people back 'making them steaks

[rayg]

White people want black people back 'making them steaks' said MSNBC's Joy Reid

Reid's tweet came the same day she said white people want black people to 'get their behinds into the factory and make me my steaks'
I won't even comment on her ignorant post.....


MSNBC's Joy Reid sparks outrage by saying conservatives would 'trade all the tax cuts in the world to be able to openly say the n-word' – after claiming Texas was reopening because white people want black people back 'making them steaks'

MSNBC host Joy Reid's comments have been slammed for apparent hypocrisy after previous homophobic comments she has made

Reid's response was made to a thread of tweets from MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson and former New York Times opinion editor Bari Weiss

Weiss' tweet sparking the conversation promoted an op-ed piece she wrote for the Deseret News in which she slammed the 'illiberal left'

Hyperbole,

But the way some state and local governments suppressed news of the outbreak in and around meat plants in the midwest (esp. Iowa), plants which--to no surprise are heavily minority staffed--did kind of have echos of Upton Sinclair's famous novel. Basically....get back to work or you're fired, don't ask questions, everything in the plant is just fine. But the workers knew that things weren't just fine.

And of course this, from the top: the plants stay open no matter what.

A worker in that situation is kinda screwed. And let's face it, people who work in meat plants are low on options to begin with.

so you think that people that cut meat for a living have low options?

Yes, I was talking about early in the pandemic.

Joy Reid, just grandstanding at present, but the issue isn't a new one. I wouldn't see any of this stuff except that you find it and post it here.

Ooh! Trick question!!

People who carve up beef, which is a skilled trade, do quite well, and are in demand. The nearby shop that processes the local beef that sits in our freezer is prosperous.

But notice I was talking about big meat plants in the midwest, largely pork and poultry. A slight deviation in time from Joy Reid's quote, but I made the context switch clear enough, talking about meat plants in Iowa, SD, where a lot of people got sick, were expected to work while sick, and where there was a lot of resistance to shutting down lines or reducing capacity through social distancing.
