It's unfortunate it's against the law to roundup people and kick them out of the country.

Oh, I'm not talking about illegals from south of our border, I'm talking about American liberals.


MSNBC Panel: Even PROPOSING Ebola Travel Ban Is 'Racist'!


On MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry Show this weekend, the absent host's panel once again caused trouble, as they agreed that even proposing a ban on travel from Ebola outbreak nations is racist. Guests Laurie Garrett of the Council on Foreign Relations and Frankie Edozien, New York Times columnist and editor of The AFRican Magazine, first raised the specter of slavery before going straight for the racist label:

GARRETT: "I was on Capitol Hill yesterday. I spoke to lot of the political leadership of the United States and I have to say I was stunned by how many felt the solution was to completely cut off Africa. no visas. no travel. Keep them out. And this is completely missing the point. The hysteria should not be about one person in Dallas. What the world should be hysterical about is that Africa is facing its greatest catastrophic crisis arguably since the days of slavery. This could turn into carnage across a whole region if the world does not assist immediately."

EDOZIEN: "That would never work. Keeping them out would not work. And the idea that you can keep out a whole group of people who are America's partners, whether we like it our not, West African nations are partners with this country ..."

GARRETT: And trying to do that racist. Let's us be frank about it.

EDOZIEN: Exactly. It's borderline racism and fear.

The crisis in Africa is terrible and requires intervention and assistance. But to suggest that a common sense precaution like limiting travel to infected nations, something other African nations have already done, is somehow racist is absurd.

But it's totally at home on the Melissa Harris-Perry Show, where everything is about race and because of race. Even Ebola.

MSNBC Panel Even PROPOSING Ebola Travel Ban Is Racist Truth Revolt
 
Even though their ratings suck, they are useful to have around to show firsthand the mentality this country would possess, if liberals were in charge of everything.
 
List of racist countries that have more sense than this one.

Ebola

Specific details of restrictions such as those listed below are difficult to verify and subject to change, while the implementation of state-imposed entry conditions can vary. Similarly, flight schedules may change at short notice. Travellers departing from countries affected by an outbreak of Ebola should seek itinerary-specific guidance from the relevant authorities on screening procedures and documentation requirements. They should also reconfirm the status of flights before setting out and allow additional time during arrival and departure to pass through enhanced medical screening.

Travel Briefing

Entry restrictions

  • Kenya on 10 October announced that it had closed the Suam border crossing (Trans-Nzoia county) with Uganda due to reports of an Ebola-related death in Bukwo district (Uganda). Earlier, the Kenyan authorities on 19 August suspended entry of passengers travelling from and through Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, excluding health professionals supporting efforts to contain the outbreak and Kenyan citizens.
  • Cape Verde on 9 October announced that it would now deny entry to non-resident foreigners coming from countries with ‘intense Ebola transmission' – Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia - or who have been to those countries in the previous 30 days.
  • Mauritius on 8 October banned entry to all travellers who have visited Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, Senegal and Congo (DRC) in the last two months, rather than just citizens of those countries, as was the case previously. The authorities have announced that entry restrictions for travellers from Senegal and Nigeria will be lifted on 10 October and 17 October respectively, if no further cases of Ebola infection are reported.
  • Seychelles on 8 October suspended entry to travellers who have visited Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Nigeria or Congo (DRC) 28 days prior to their journey, with the exception of Seychellois citizens.
  • Côte d'Ivoire has reopened in early October its borders with Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.

  • Chad on 21 August closed its land border with Nigeria at Lake Chad. The country previously reportedly banned the entry of any travellers originating or transiting through Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria or Sierra Leone, with airlines serving the country reportedly rerouting flights.
  • South Africa on 21 August restricted entry for all non-citizens travelling from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The government subsequently clarified that this was not a blanket ban and could be waived for 'absolutely essential travel'.

I think all MSNBC hosts should all head to Liberia and show us all first hand we have nothing to be concerned about. They could mingle with the people, and give us direct reports that we're being ridiculous and of course racist, for wanting flights restricted.

Yeah, but when we do it, it's racist. Cuz we're America.

:hmpf:

We should set an example for everyone else.
 
Oh, we're "partners" with these African countries?

Partners as in the old hand in hand thing, huh?

Okay, well I can imagine our half of that bargain is giving them money and stuff every year, and they're doing what exactly in return for us?

Oh, and by the way partner. It's your cesspool that created this mess, not ours.
