Joy Reid Explains How Shift From Obama to Trump Affected White Support for Black Lives Matter

"This is the public realizing if they’re coming for Black lives, they’re eventually coming for yours," the MSNBC anchor said of the resurgent movement.

MSNBC anchor Joy Reid talked about the rise in support for the Black Lives Matter movement from non-Black or non-Brown people, following the murder of George Floyd in May, in an appearance on NBC'sReid, who has been covering the Black Lives Matter movement since Trayvon Martin’s killing in 2012, told Meyers on Wednesday's “You had empathy in the White House, that desire to embrace the movement and bring them to the White House, to talk to them,” Reid said of the Obama administration.

She said that when protests against police brutality and racism occurred in 2012, “white America really rejected this movement,” despite the President Obama's support. Now, with a leader who seems against the goals and demands of the social justice movement, Reid said the public is on the side of the Black community.

“That is a huge change, and it’s an important change,” she added. Reid went on praise protestors in Portland who have been attacked by law-enforcement officials while standing in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. “It’s not just a Black people concern, this is the public realizing if they’re coming for Black lives, they’re eventually coming for yours. They’re eventually coming for your security and peace,” she said. “All of us have to be in this together.”

JoyAnnReid This whole thing has been a political stunt by the lunatic left

JoyAnnReid We’ve been watching BLM themed movies as a family. My kids were blown away by BlackkKlansman and Malcolm X. Most recently we watched Harriet and Red Tails.

JoyAnnReid Decreased thankfully. All lives matter. Period. Black Lives Matter doesn’t care about black lives. It’s just a way for Democrats to profit off false victimization of black lives, they are the true racists. Always have been.
