Mitchell: Are White People ‘Capable’ of ‘Grieving Loss of a Black Child’?

During an interview with journalism professor Connie Schultz, wife of Democratic Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell horrendously wondered if “white people” were “capable” of “grieving for the loss of a black child.” Schultz argued more people were examining the state of race relations due to the “racist administration” of President Trump.

The segment began with Mitchell eagerly reading from Schultz’s latest syndicated column, entitled, “Shhh, White People, Listen”:

This says alot about no one but Andrea Mitchell.

And looking at her I wonder, as well.

[mountaineer]

I don't know, Andrea? Would you switch that question around and ask someone like Walter Williams or Clarence Thomas whether black people are capable of grieving the death of a white child? This is as stupid and repulsive as the black NBC reporter asking Sen. Tim Scott (black conservative) whether the GOP is using him as a "token," while ignoring that there currently are only two black Democrat Senators.

Is Andrea Mitchell capable of a non-stooooopid question? I've never checked the skin color of people I've grieved over or celebrated or befriended. Her stooooooooopid question informs me that Andrea Mitchell cannot truthfully say the same.

I have a Niece who, upon finding that she and her husband could not conceive, adopted two beautiful black babies.  Maybe Andrea should ask her that question.

I am curious as to why she and her husband adopted two black babies.

Were they friends with the babies parents,and adopt the children to honor their friendship by providing for their children,or was it to "send a statement"?

Or was it simply because there were no white children available for adoption at that time?

I never asked.  It's Cali, so I assumed that since they did it through the State it was because there were no caucasian babies.  Maybe they are what my Niece preferred?  I know it took years to finalize. Application, testing, waiting etc.

In the 60s there was some excellent folk music, and some themes were anti-slavery.  They were icons of Christianity, too.

Joe & Eddie,

"There's a Meeting Here Tonight."

"Follow the Drinking Gourd."

I was sympathetic. But I've had my face smeared with guilt, for so long I have lost that sympathy.

I think the "guilt" peddlers, missed the fable of the "Little Boy that Cried Wolf to often."

Tired. Been There, Done That. Burning down the cities again?

And there it is.

My sister and her husband were unable to have children. The second child they adopted was half black (it came as a surprise to them). The girl is now 20, very smart, but very aware of her "blackness" (not so much of her whiteness, sadly).

[Smokin Joe]

When I was a very young volunteer fireman, I helped dig the remains of three black children out of the ruins of their home.
I can, without reservation, incontravertably answer that question "Yes, more than you know."

Now you tell me, how the 15,000,000 innocent black children murdered at abortion mills across America since 1973 become just another number and remain ignored by the same blacks who can riot over one man's death.

What makes this even sadder is these children are often "guilted" into focusing on their "blackness" by the very same freaking people who reject them BECAUSE OF THEIR WHITE BLOOD. This seems to make THEM reject their "white side" in order to to TRY to be accepted by the black racists,which will never happen.


They usually end up caught in the middle and go through life living between two worlds because by then they have alienated the white side of their blood heritage to appease the black side,which will never trust or accept them BECAUSE of the white genetics.

They are caught in a no-win situation and there isn't a damn thing they can do about it.

There ain't no free teebees or designer sneakers given out at abortion mills.

I blame baby boomers for starting this garbage in the 60's.

The way liberals talk about white people today sure sounds alot like how Hitler used to talk about the Jews.

[Right_in_Virginia]

This very question needs to be rejected for the absurdity it is.

[aligncare]

Stop giving your support and money to individuals and groups (NFL-NBA-MLB, universities and schools, corporations and companies, journalists and news organizations) who accuse you, dehumanize you and hate you, for being born white.

What they are doing is called racism (at least it was so in a sane world).

[Gefn]

The death of any child is a sad thing. At least that was the way I was brought up.

@Free Vulcan

BINGO!

And they have the same "solution to the problem" planned.

@aligncare

Not true. I have personally seen and heard white college professors,politicians,and other various forms of criminals,as well as "respected black figures" state on my very own teebee that "It is impossible for black people to be prejudiced!"

Are  you trying to tell me my teebee would lie to me?

[skeeter]

Or the late Ottoman empire talked about the Armenian christians. Or Pol Pot about people who wear glasses. Or the Hutus about the Tutsis.

This is what happens when members of the public education establishment are allowed to teach your children history.

[catfish1957]

A news piece on a theoretical black child?

Hey MSNBC, did you even report the BLM/ looter gunning down of David Dorn, the STL police Captain?  I didn't think so......
