I'd like to extend a big "screw you" to @toure for that "power of whiteness." Tweet.

Brittany Cover (@bccohan) May 24, 2014That tweet rises to the level of needing a public apology. Absolutely unacceptable.—
Brittany Cover (@bccohan) May 24, 2014
What tweet? This repugnant puddle of gutter filth from MSNBC’s Touré about the white privilege of Holocaust survivors:
The power of whiteness: RT @hope_and_chains: My family survived a concentration camp, came to the US w/ nothing, LEGALLY, and made it work.—
Touré (@Toure) May 23, 2014
The power of whiteness.
@TwitchyTeam Not sure if I'm reading this right, but I think Toure & Co. are saying my family's overcoming Hitler was abt white privilege.—

Btw those of us families who survived Nazi concentration camps rebuilt lives with blood sweat and tears. Fuck off @Toure, you're a moron—
Ron M. (@Jewtastic) May 24, 2014
This is what Tim Russert's network has become, that this is acceptable: twitter.com/Toure/status/4… NBC News is a fucking embarassment.—
Keep Brodigan Weird (@brodigan) May 24, 2014
I still can't believe Touré basically told someone to check their Nazi concentration camp survivor privilege.—

Forget drinking tequila on the air – @MSNBC has a real problem with @toure & @edshow, and their vile, unacceptable comments on the Holocaust—

@allahpundit Scratch a Truther and you'll find not much empathy for Holocaust survivors, iykwimaittyd.—

Jay Caruso (@JayCaruso) May 24, 2014
Wow, @Toure, really? Surviving Auschwitz is the "power of whiteness?" You're a sick, sick, bigoted little fucker.—
Chris Barnhart (@ChrisBarnhart) May 24, 2014
Hey! What are the chances that @msnbc would hire a guy who hates white people and Jews? (Hint: 100%)—
Chris Barnhart (@ChrisBarnhart) May 24, 2014
Implicit in @Toure's tweet is the idea he couldn't have achieved anything on his own.—
Chris Barnhart (@ChrisBarnhart) May 24, 2014
The MSM jumps all over @megynkelly for talking about white santa, but privileged Jews in concentration camps? Give @Toure a medal!—
Chris Barnhart (@ChrisBarnhart) May 24, 2014
Yeah, I'm not shocked @Toure not a fan of Jews, but I just don't care this weekend. He's nothing. twitter.com/Toure/status/4…—

The fact that @Toure can say something that stupid and offensive (and still be paid to give his opinion after) is called liberal privilege.—
AG (@AG_Conservative) May 24, 2014
.@Toure Just wondering if you tweeted this from first class.—
NΞØNTΛSTΞR (@neontaster) May 24, 2014
Fear not, I'm sure after this latest nonsense blows over, @Toure will return to his regular news beat. http://t.co/mCwR2vjVEq—

What the hell is wrong with you @Toure? @hope_and_chains—
Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) May 24, 2014
If you can look at the Holocaust — the Holocaust! — and see any vestige of privilege in its wake, you're a joke. An unfunny, cruel joke.—

If ever there was a time for expletives …
You’re a fucking sick asshole, @Toure. FUCK YOU. twitter.com/Toure/status/4…—

Pardon me, but as a Jew, and a descendent of Holocaust survivors, who also came to America and made successful lives for us, fuck you @toure—
Cameron Gray (@Cameron_Gray) May 24, 2014
So with @TheRevAl & @Toure, @msnbc is basically the anti-Semite network. Fuck every last one of you. twitter.com/Toure/status/4…—
