The former MSNBC host said the U.S. would become old and die off if it were distilled to only "white folks."
Joy Reid offered a bizarre reading of history in support of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies while appearing on a YouTube show.
The former MSNBC host told Wajahat Ali that the U.S. was composed of many communities, often comprising those who survived through adversity and tumult, but that this character was threatened by politicians opposing diversity.
'Keep voting for people like Trump, because we can be the Roman Empire.The Roman Empire had a high, and then baby it fell. The end.'
"We're a nation of the strongest parts of each community on Earth. If you take that away and try to distill us just down to white folks, we'll be like Europe, an aging, slowly dying former empire," Reid said.
"The Roman Empire didn't survive because it didn't have enough strength in its diversity. It suppressed its diversity, and it died. If the U.S. wants to be the Roman Empire, keep voting the way you voting, y’all," she added. "Keep voting for people like [President Donald] Trump, because we can be the Roman Empire.The Roman Empire had a high, and then baby it fell. The end."
