Joy Reid claims 'mediocre White men' like Trump, Elvis can't 'invent anything,' steal culture from other races
Fox News, Aug 19, 2025

Former MSNBC anchor Joy Reid condemned President Donald Trump, Elvis Presley and others on Friday as some of history’s many "mediocre White men" whose achievements are stolen or counterfeit.

Reid criticized Trump’s review of the Smithsonian during an interview with Wajahat Ali for his "The Left Hook" substack, in an episode titled, "How Mediocre White Men and Their Fragility Are Destroying America."

They argued that across America’s institutions, there is a phenomenon of "mediocre White men" with no actual culture of their own who co-opt the achievements of Black people to aggrandize themselves.

Ali opened the episode by talking about Trump reforming the Kennedy Center in what his critics call a hostile takeover. The institution, which in recent years had featured drag queen performances, is now being reformed to show decidedly more conservative and pro-American content. Trump announced this year's Kennedy Center awards last week, which he will also be hosting.

"These people cannot create culture on their own," Ali said. "Without Black people, Brown people, the DEIs, there's no culture in America. We make the food better. We make the economy better. We make the music better. Right? MAGA can't create culture. They got Cracker Barrel and Kid Rock."

FTA:

White House spokesman Harrison Fields responded to Reid's comments, saying she was "too unhinged for MSNBC."

"Joyless Reid is an ungrateful hack who fails to acknowledge her privilege. Whatever remains of her success would only be possible in the United States of America, the same country she degrades for sport. She was too unhinged for MSNBC and was fired. Instead of changing her act, she’s doubled down on stupid," he said.

Joy Reid is so over and this article is an example of why.

[240B]

Joy Reid is absolutely right! White people learned everything from Africans. This is why all the Mexicans and everyone else in the world is spending thousands of dollars and risking their lives to sneak into Africa illegally.

African Housing that taught White People how to build ...

[catfish1957]

With this level of nonsensical  ballistic trolling, I'd say Joy is in panic mode.

Behind the scenes, I bet there are a lot of MSNBC employees and alums that are squarely pointing the finger at her for MSNBC's demise.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

This is why i don't like conservative media, because this woman is obviously trolling and if it weren't for conservative media i would have no idea what this nutcake is saying on a daily basis. But as it is now, Joy Reid says something that is obviously just inflammatory crap to drive ratings, like lemmings conservative media picks it up and runs with it to run up aging GOPer's blood pressures. Rinse and repeat.

[DefiantMassRINO]

That was mighty white of her.

[Smokin Joe]

Don' know nuttin' 'bout no music...



Nuffin 'bout no architecture...


nuffin' 'bout farming...


Yeah, no culture of our own...



In the meantime, someone is engaging in so many levels of cultural appropriation to send out her screed, and not using one village drum to do it.

People that attempt to rewrite history are as annoying as they are amusing. Joy isn't even the best "rewriter" I've heard.

Stupid heifer.

"mediocre White men" with no actual culture of their own who co-opt the achievements of Black people to aggrandize themselves.

I can't begin to imagine what those achievements might be.

Africans brought us such wonderful things like "Necklacing" where a gasoline soaked tire is put over a victim and then set ablaze.

Africans inculcate levels of corruption that even impress the Russians.

Africans have advanced medicine with practices like raping virgins to cure aids and cannibalizing albino people to gain their magical powers.

Africans still kill people for their crimes of sorcery and withcraft.

Africans can turn productive farmland into desert.

Africans love eating "bush meat", especially from endangered animals.

Etc.

Where else are they gonna get Ebola?

When I was in Africa, every modern thing I saw there, plumbing, architecture, sewage and water, electricity, roads, etc. EVERYTHING MODERN, was all built and maintained by White People. And as soon as the White people finish whatever they are doing there and leave, it all decays and falls to rubble.

There is NO 20th century city in Africa which is built and run by Black people.

And soon as the murderously racist Black people there kill off what remains of the White People in South Africa, South Africa will decline from a modern world-class European-type nation into a primitive gutted barren wasteland run by brutal tribal warlords competing with each other to take over whatever the White people leave behind.

Yup

Well… Those do count as achievements

You are being kind. It is understandable that you cannot comprehend that anyone could actually believe that stuff. But they do believe it. And not just Reid. There is a whole Black Supremacy movement which thinks just like her and they believe all the things she believes and more.

No. She was not trolling even though it does seem that way. In her racist addled mind, Reid was telling 'truth to power' as she sees it. And she truly believes every single word of it. Blacks are the superior race inherently and White people are like 'inferior children' to them. This is the foundation of the global Black Supremacist movement.

South Africa is well on it's way to becoming Zimbabwe. Very sad.

Just one wacko girl ... sure. But she represents a whole movement. She did not come up with this opinion on her own. This is what she is being fed by people like Reid. This is what she is being taught. This is what she reads and watches on YouTube. I could post some of the Black Supremacist videos but they too long for this site.
