An MSNBC contributor got raked over the coals after a blatantly racist take on the Democratic ticket of Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Anand Giridharadas did not hesitate to pull out a giant racism card on “Morning Joe” where he lectured about the “joy” of having a black woman as a boss and how Walz could teach white people a thing or two.
“We are now at a moment when the right in this country is an authoritarian movement, an increasingly fascistic movement,” he declared while discussing the Harris rally in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.

“This is a campaign that understands the importance of vibes,” he continued, claiming that the “biggest significance” of “Coach Walz” is that “he is an older white man in a moment in which the far right is trying to convince people that the future is treacherous for them, trying to convince men that the future is treacherous for them, and here is an older white man, a coach, a soldier who is very hard to dismiss.”
“There is joy in the future. There is joy in having your boss be a black woman,” Giridharadas added. “There is joy in what is coming, and I think he is going to teach lots of people in addition to whatever role he plays in the election and in the White House. He’s going to teach lots of people through his role in the culture that they’re gonna be okay, and that there’s joy on the far side of realizing a multi-racial democracy in this country.”
The former New York Times columnist was torched for his take on social media.
This is some seriously racist garbage.
I imagine telling my black boss that I feel joy working for her because she’s black.

Uttering “Your boss” is such a warped inverted view of our American inheritance.
I’m convinced that many many people don’t want to or are afraid to be free, in the true sense of the word.

@MSNBC Did Joy Reid put y’all up to this “talking point”?!
We are AMERICANS; first & foremost. Your boss’ skin color shouldn’t equate to their MERIT, skills & overall knowledge in a leadership position.#TamponTimmy, pass it on!

Should we give him a flashlight? It is too dark for him to see the deception surrounding this duo.

@MSNBC The President of the United States is NOT OUR BOSS.
WE are the boss.
This is what is wrong with the @DNC and the media.— Riley Jane Meli (@oldwomaninwoods) August 8, 2024
