Joy Reid made national headlines a couple of weeks ago by complaining about the media coverage of Gabby Petito. She whined about a discrepancy in media coverage of missing white women and missing women of color. Reid bemoaned it as “missing white woman syndrome.” In the time since, Reid has inexplicably ignored the national case of a missing woman of color, Miya Marcano. Sadly, Marcano was found dead on Saturday. Reid has yet to mention her name.
Actions speak louder than words, and Reid’s lack of coverage of Marcano’s case speaks volumes. Reid is an agitator and a race hustler. One would assume that someone who claimed to be so upset about missing white women covered in the news would do everything in their power to bring awareness to a case such as Marcano’s. If she genuinely cared about the issue, Reid would have.
Reid spent more time complaining about a missing white woman than bringing attention to that of a missing woman of color. Since making her complaint, she did not even mention any of the numerous missing women of color listed on the FBI’s website. She just wanted to complain about white people. That’s prejudice. That’s the bigotry of Reid.
Over the weekend in which the national case of Marcano ended with her body being found, a quick glance at her Twitter timeline will show Reid could not care at all. Not a second on her show and not one tweet on her Twitter was ever spent on Marcano.
And yes, Reid was active on Twitter this weekend. According to her Twitter, things that were more important than Marcano included NBA player Andrew Wiggins’s vaccination status, JetBlue employees being told they needed to be vaccinated, the middle name of Jesus Christ, nachos, Tucker Carlson, Halloween candy, the Jan. 6 riot, former President Donald Trump, Sage Steele of ESPN, and, in her true bigoted fashion, a retweet of an article titled, “The unmasking of the white Christian worldview.”
The next time Reid or any of her fellow left-wing pundits in the media bring up race to assert that minority lives are neglected, remember their actions and choices. More often than not, they do very little to help resolve the things they claim anger them the most. And when it comes to race, they only care about stoking flames, not putting out fires. It is their bigotry that guides them instead of a moral compass.
