Joy Reid, reliable Democrat party operative with a TV show at MSNBC, yells racism a lot. The New York Times reports:
Ms. Reid was born in Brooklyn and raised in Denver alongside two siblings mostly by their mother, a college professor and nutritionist from Guyana; their father left the family when she was a child for his native Democratic Republic of Congo. “He was a phone father,” Ms. Reid said. At 17, she was accepted to Harvard University, where she planned to study medicine.The background of many going to Harvard? MSNBC reports "Reid graduated from Harvard University in 1991 with a concentration in film.." Reid must have been one of the top students getting into Harvard , back in the day. Who could doubt she had the highest SAT scores ? She seems so bright...
But her mother died of breast cancer three weeks before school started. “I failed a bunch of classes,” Ms. Reid said. “I was just depressed.” She took a year off, returned to Brooklyn — staying with an aunt and working a temp job at Columbia Pictures — and then switched her major to documentary filmmaking.
