Touré hasn’t tweeted since May 27th, when the MSNBC host explained that he was “very sorry” for attempting to link Holocaust survival to “the power of whiteness” in a format like Twitter that couldn’t accommodate the subtle “nuance” of what he was trying to say, or something.

According to an MSNBC spokeswoman, it was Touré’s decision to take a break from Twitter and not management’s.
