The #MeToo parade of lefty journalists continues.
Touré, the veteran journalist and cultural critic who was among the contributors to the Lifetime documentary series “Surviving R. Kelly,” has been accused of sexual harassment and has issued a response to the accusation, Essence reports. A makeup artist named Dani alleged that while working on a TV show together in 2017, Touré repeatedly asked her sexually charged questions and made inappropriate comments.
That seems like an understatement considering the allegations. A refresher on who Toure, a former MSNBC personality, is.
Touré Neblett attended Emory University from 1989-92. There, he founded the school’s black student newspaper, The Fire This Time, which heaped praise on numerous anti-Semites, black supremacists, and conspiracy theorists whom Touré helped bring to campus as guest speakers. These included such notables as: (a) Conrad Muhammad, Louis Farrakhan’s then-“hip-hop minister” and a Nation of Islam fundraiser who routinely excoriated Jewish “bloodsuckers”; (b) H. Rap Brown, the former Sixties revolutionary who had exhorted black people to “wage guerrilla war on the honkie white man”; (c) Lenora Fulani, who once wrote that Jews “had to sell their souls to acquire Israel” and then “function as mass murderers of people of color to stay there”; and (d) Frances Cress Welsing, a self-described black supremacist who preached that white people were the genetically defective descendants of albino mutants.
Despite that, he went on to a lucrative career as a “cultural critic” and with appearances at MSNBC. It took a #MeToo moment for it to start falling apart.
Neblett’s comment also came less than a month after the MSNBC pundit himself accused Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney of conducting a “niggerization” campaign against President Barack Obama.
“You can integrate a small amount of marijuana into your life without wrecking your mind or losing your life or losing your marriage or all these sorts of things,” he stated.
When asked by his co-host Krystal Ball why he would know such a thing, Neblett replied that his own “personal experience” proved that Mary Jane doesn’t rot the brain.
“I do know that from personal experience and I’m not afraid or embarrassed to admit that,” he said.
None of this comes as a surprise from the man who gave the “Abortion saved me” speech.
I find something undeniably misogynist about the impulse to deny a woman’s dominion over her own body and limit her ability to shape her life – and impose another sense of morality on her.
Undeniably misogynist is apparently a good description of Toure.
