During a segment on MSNBC, host Joy Reid expressed her concern about the lack of support from White women for Vice President Kamala Harris during the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
According to MSNBC host Joy Reid, Black women are feeling disillusioned with the idea of “saving America” due to the unexpected support President-elect Donald Trump received from White female voters. She suggests that this betrayal has caused a loss of interest among Black women in actively participating in the political process.
In a TikTok video shared on Saturday, Reid addressed White female progressives, urging them to exclude Black women from their guest lists if they intend to rally against Trump’s win.
“I have some free advice for White progressive women who are considering marching against the Trump victory, perhaps by donning the P-word hats and participating in that event. I would strongly advise against inviting any Black women to join. Trust me when I say that they will not be attending,” she advised.
Reid expressed her belief that Black women have withdrawn from various coalitions aimed at saving America, democracy, and the Democratic Party.
MSNBC host Joy Reid is placing the blame on white women for Vice President Kamala Harris losing the state of North Carolina in the 2020 election.
In a recent interview on MSNBC, Reid pointed out the contrasting voting patterns between Black voters and White women voters in the North Carolina election. She noted that while Black voters showed their support for Kamala Harris, White women voters did not.
According to the speaker, the state witnessed a loss of reproductive rights for women. There was a strong emphasis on preventing the return of the person responsible for taking away those rights and working towards their restoration. However, despite this message, it seems that it failed to attract sufficient support from white women for Vice President Harris, a fellow woman.
According to Reid, White women in the United States have now been presented with a second chance to redefine their relationship with the patriarchy. She draws a parallel to Hillary Clinton’s defeat in the 2016 election, highlighting the significance of this moment.
Reid emphasizes that if individuals are unwilling to embrace this opportunity and instead prioritize party loyalty or racial considerations over gender equality, there may be limited options for further progress.
