Joy Reid, a prominent figure, faces criticism for claiming African American descent despite her parents being from Congo and Guyana. Critics argue she is privileged and not a descendant of American slavery. Reid, a multi-millionaire, supports reparations despite her parents' origins. The debate on reparations and the legacy of slavery continues, with differing viewpoints on the issue.
I disagree with the tone but I do agree that neither Obama nor Juneteenth were meritorious endeavors, simply “reparations” as @JoyAnnReid suggests. https://t.co/YC6HoKmMZR
Good morning, everyone! Although she attended Harvard University and is making millions of dollars at @MSNBC, she tells her audience America is deeply racist. There are no opportunities for people like her. Life is hell. In one word, kindly describe 55-year-old Joy Reid… https://t.co/8ezvgBPK4J
Can you not see that they're using the Criminal Alien Crisis as a leverage point to push for reparations? That's obviously the play. Simultaneously, Critical Immigration Theory will justify giving money to criminal aliens, and then the call for reparations will be stronger. https://t.co/rhESExgyZy
The slaves didn’t “literally physically build this country” because the plantations they built were destroyed in the Civil War. How weird of the descendants of slaves to now claim personal credit for building those same plantations @JoyAnnReid https://t.co/DWO0tmiDbr
Support for reparations has tripled in 22 years nationwide and doubled in the last 5 years with Republicans. Its irrelevant where Joy Reid parents' are from, but frankly it feels like the new battle line is already being drawn. https://t.co/tHfJSqr57L
Joy Reid is a multi-millionaire and does not descend from a single American slave. Her father is from Congo. Her mother is from Guyana. Average salary in Congo: $449 (USD) Average salary in Guyana: $5,200 (USD) Instead of feeling grateful, she goes on TV to demand reparations…
Joy Reid’s father is from the Congo and her mother from Guyana. She has absolutely no roots in this country and abuses the legacy of African Americans by referencing shes a descendant of American slavery. Shes not. Shes a privileged wealthy child of immigrants. https://t.co/5ggcGl4xPP
