MSNBC’s treatment of one of the timeline’s very favorite Black woman intellectuals has been hard to watch. However, Melissa Harris-Perry has done nothing but handle the situation with a strength that can only come down on an Ultralight Beam straight from the ancestors themselves. MHP took to the tweets because she had a visionary stream of consciousness that was placed on her spirit. And we all enjoyed.
