Melissa Harris-Perry's Finer Moment


For a long time my favorite MHP moment from her show on MSNBC is keeping it real with some business-minded corporate hack guest who tried to defend the 'job creators' and '1%' who take risks financially and 'create jobs' and 'wealth.' She keeps it real and talks from personal experience with the realities of life for low-income black communities in New Orleans to demonstrate that being poor is a greater risk (for schooling, jobs, safety, mental and physical health, the list goes on to other disadvantages and risks not mentioned by MHP). Unfortunately, the crisis of poverty will likely not be alleviated anytime soon, but props to MHP for saying something of substance and more meaningful than, say, defending Obama and the Dems.
