Melissa Harris-Perry Believes ‘Star Wars’ Is ‘Racist’

I think I will suggest to JJ Abrams that he make an ALL Black Women star wars flick, may then they will be satisfied... But I doubt it.




Referring to Darth Vader, Perry went off on a bit of a rant, pointing out what she believes to be racism in one of the highest-grossing movie franchises of all time.

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. But as soon as he claims his son and goes over to the good, he takes off his mask and he is white. Yes, I have many, many feelings about that, but I will try to put them over here.
