It would seem MSNBC’s TourĂ© has a problem with those privileged Holocaust survivors succeeding in life due to “the power of whiteness.”
Yes, you read that correctly.
He stooped about as low as one can get Friday by retweeting the following tweet, adding his own accusation of “white privilege,” which had most people asking, “what the hell is wrong with you?”
The power of whiteness: RT @hope_and_chains: My family survived a concentration camp, came to the US w/ nothing, LEGALLY, and made it work.

Here are a few of my personal favorite responses, but, as you can imagine, there were so many more.
I’d like to extend a big “screw you” to @toure for that “power of whiteness.” Tweet.

I still can’t believe TourĂ© basically told someone to check their Nazi concentration camp survivor privilege. — Jayvie Canono (@OneFineJay) May 24, 2014
@Toure@hope_and_chains amen brother. Nothing to do with hard work and perseverance. No such thing as trailer parks full of white failure. — Pazuzu Smith (@PazuzuJSmith) May 23, 2014
Forget drinking tequila on the air – @MSNBC has a real problem with @toure & @edshow, and their vile, unacceptable comments on the Holocaust

Let’s play the “imagine if a Fox News host said that” game.

Hey! What are the chances that @msnbc would hire a guy who hates white people and Jews? (Hint: 100%)

The response tweets were filled with outrage and many used strong language and heavy sarcasm to express it. S.M @redsteeze used a series of extremely sarcastic tweet pics to vent. Here are a few:
