Joy Reid

It’s said in Wikipedia that Joy Reid paid for her Harvard education but on Twitter (3/13/17) she admits to being a recipient of affirmative action. 2601:6C2:4004:D9D0:CC68:ED08:A530:BB36 (talk) 21:37, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Affirmative action" does not pay Harvard's tuition. There is no contradiction between having paid her own tuition and having tweeted on 3/13/17 "I'm a proud beneficiary of Affirmative Action: a black HS salutatorian w/ 95th %tile SATs who got to attend Harvard w/ C-student legacies." "Affirmative action" meant that, after Harvard had filled most of its freshman class with athletes, "pay-to-play" Jared Kushners, and "legacy" sons of previous Harvard alums, Joy Reid was lucky enough to tick off one of Harvard's admission categories for a rare non-affluent student--in addition to being well qualified for the work there. HouseOfChange (talk) 23:12, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, when she admitted to being a beneficiary of affirmative action (as both Obamas also did), she mean that she was admitted with lower test scores than an asian or white would have to have. That is the essence of affirmative action, which is racial preference in favor of a currently desired race and a penalty for other races. It is what it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 (talk) 22:01, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ukraine comments

Should the statement she made about Ukraine be added https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10599009/MSNBCs-Joy-Reid-faces-backlash-criticizing-medias-coverage-Ukraine.html https://www.ktsa.com/joy-reid-ukraine-and-why-we-care/ https://theblackwallsttimes.com/2022/03/09/joy-reid-calls-out-double-standard-in-ukrainian-humanitarian-crisis/ https://www.skynews.com.au/business/media/msnbc-host-joy-reids-snivelling-and-pathetic-argument-that-ukrainians-benefit-from-white-privilege-is-appalling-and-wrong/news-story/7d8824223d2bcef9231f4578e23c7944 Persesus (talk) 04:05, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

When those who disagree with Joy Reid try but fail to to whip up wider outrage about some recent statement--that is not a "controversy" about Joy Reid. Wikipedia summarizes what RS say about a topic. HouseOfChange (talk) 18:13, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

well it still is one either way — Preceding unsigned comment added by Persesus (talk • contribs) 20:12, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
