Keith Olbermann calls Trump "a whiny little Kunta Kinte"

[Hadron90]

Literally wtf did he mean by this? That's a pretty derogatory racial remark, and doesn't even make sense in this context. Is this guy having a stroke?

He is getting eviscerated in the comments.

Edit: Tweet has been memory-holed. Here it is:

 

[Bloody Pulp]

Keef is insane.

 

[HARRISON_3]

Did he come back?

He's been long gone from MSNBC for a while now IIRC

Also, it's Toby.

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

I don't even understand that...was that supposed to be a compliment or insult?

Hi Hadron90,

It’s a Roots reference, I think.

The left love being racist because they never get called on it.

Didn't realize that. Updated title.

 

[n...not crazy]

Oh lordie, lol

 

[CubicleGangster]

I don't remember Kunta being a whiny little bitch

 

[HereticBD]

Olbermann is quite literally insane. That's all you need to know.

 

[AndroidRage]

Not sure what the hell that is supposed to mean but it sounds racist.

It's an insult.

He's saying Trump is whining like all those whiny African slaves who whined about being homesick and having to work in the fields.

 

[Confucamus]

Olberman is a douche. A perfect sign of the times is watching this "political commentator" call for the execution of a sitting President, and nobody bats an eye.

 

[Lord_Impaler]

Lol, what?

You know your reference is bad when 99% of the people in the comments are confused.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

this guy will strap a suicide bomb vest on him after trump wins
he is legit insane

 

[3rd Round Romero]

Let a right winger say something like this. There would be 2 weeks of discussions and crying on twitter. Years later that quote would be brought up as an example of white supremacy.

Oberman = White Privilege Soyboy Racist

 

[MMAisGod]

He doesn't work for MSNBC anymore to my knowledge at least.

With that said however, wow, can't even begin to think how he thought that comment was okay. Might be the most racist, like truly racist, statement we have seen from a commentator. I will be curious to see if he is "exiled" and all that stuff after this one. It's 10/10 levels of bad, inexcusable in every way.

Lol, that's how I kind of construed it but wasn't sure.

Chalk this up as another instance where a leftist reveals their inherent racism
