On Wednesday mornings edition of Morning Joe, hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, along with guest Bill Kristol, laid the blame on hip hop and in particular rapper Wacka Flocka Flame for driving University of Oklahoma SAE frat brothers to feel free to chant racist slurs on video.
And with that argument, the #RapAlbumsThatCausedSlavery hashtag was born.

was despicable.

Never has been. She's a pro-life conservative. She just plays the token liberal on the show so Joe can say "even a liberal like Mika agrees with me". They played that card again this morning to justify the show's feed frenzy on Hillary Clinton. Plus Mika's has shown her racism several times before on the show.

It also bugs me that she's doing this 'empowering women' thing. When I think of female empowerment the last person that pops into my head is Mika Brzenzki.
