MSNBC's Harris-Perry Gripes Over 'Totally Black Guy' Darth Vader As Evil Character


On her eponymously named Sunday morning show, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry went into a mini-rant about racism in Star Wars as she complained about villain Darth Vader being "totally a black guy" when he was "cutting off white men's hands" who did not "claim his son," but then became a white man after he "claims his son and goes over to the good."


During a segment about the upcoming The Force Awakens sequel, after a discussion about Princess Leia's slave girl costume from the 1980s at 11:44 a.m., the MSNBC host admitted to having mixed feelings about the popular movie series:

I know why I have feelings -- good, bad, and otherwise -- about Star Wars. And I have a lot. I could spend the whole day talking about the whole Darth Vader situation.​

After panel member Wesley Morris of the New York Times wondered, "Really? You could?" Harris-Perry took issue with a black actor voicing the iconic evil character rather than rejoicing at James Earl Jones getting such a high-profile career opportunity as she elaborated:

Yeah, like, the part where he was totally a black guy whose name basically was James Earl Jones, who, and we were all, but while he was black, he was terrible and bad and awful and used to cut off white men's hands, and didn't, you know, actually claim his son.​

I guess JEJ should not have gotten the JOB then

Why did the bad cowboys wear black and the good wear white?

Why did the bad cowboys wear black and the good wear white?

Why is the percentage of criminals higher among blacks than whites? What's wrong "the man" keeping you down?

Those are the brain cells he's been looking for.

Why did the bad cowboys wear black and the good wear white?

Because western started before color movies and you needed a quick and dirty to tell the good guys from the bad. In reality the preferred color for the bad guys was pink. True story, before the turn of the twentieth century pink was the preferred masculine color.

MHP is a one-note. She is all about race, all the time. Anything that happens, she stretches and twists it so it can be offensive to blacks. The only reason she has a job in the media is because MSNBC scrapes the bottom of the barrel.
