MSNBC host responds to criticism of
“kids belong to whole communities promo”
Harris-Perry elaborated, where she said
she wants to “double down” on the comments. “I have no
intention of apologizing for saying that our children, all of our
children, are part of more than our households,”
Critics pan yet another MSNBC promo
with Harris-Perry
MSNBC came under fire this week for a
promotional video where host Melissa Harris-Perry explained that we
need to “break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to
their parents” and recognize that “kids belong to whole
communities.” Now, critics are again raising concern with yet
another controversial promo for Harris-Perry’s show.

Muslim men raping Jewish girls "as
a form of anti-Israel terrorism"
The Qur'an allows for the owning of sex
slaves -- and slaves, by definition, must act at their master's
behest, whether or not they wish to perform the action or not. So sex
slavery is essentially an Islamic justification for rape.
