MSNBC host rips 'modern-day minstrel show' Sage Steele: She might be black, but she's not a legit 'black voice' — she's 'spewing ... nonsense' from 'powerful white Americans'

MSNBC host Tiffany Cross made it clear on her weekend show that she is no fan of embattled black ESPN anchor Sage Steele — or any other "black face" who does spout what Cross has determined is the proper rhetoric for American blacks.

People like Steele, activist and commentator Van Jones, and entrepreneur Carlos Watson, according to Cross, might be black but they don't have "black voices." Instead, the leftist cable host declared, they are just propped up "by wealthy or powerful white Americans."

What's that now?

Steele made waves in late September during an interview with Jay Cutler on his podcast, "Uncut." During their discussion, Steele had the audacity to offer a differing point of view on vaccines and on former President Barack Obama's racial identity and why he IDs as black while being biracial. Her comments led to Disney pulling her from the airwaves.
