That tweet rises to the level of needing a public apology. Absolutely unacceptable.

What tweet? This repugnant puddle of gutter filth from MSNBC’s Touré about the white privilege of Holocaust survivors:
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.
— Touré (@Toure) May 23, 2014
The power of whiteness.
@TwitchyTeam Not sure if I'm reading this right, but I think Toure & Co. are saying my family's overcoming Hitler was abt white privilege.

Btw those of us families who survived Nazi concentration camps rebuilt lives with blood sweat and tears. Fuck off @Toure, you're a moron

This is what Tim Russert's network has become, that this is acceptable: https://t.co/ejXGK1R7Ax NBC News is a fucking embarassment.

I still can't believe Touré basically told someone to check their Nazi concentration camp survivor privilege.

The fact that @Toure can say something that stupid and offensive (and still be paid to give his opinion after) is called liberal privilege.

If you can look at the Holocaust — the Holocaust! — and see any vestige of privilege in its wake, you're a joke. An unfunny, cruel joke.
