MSNBC Guest Michelle Bernard Sees ‘War on Black Boys’ in America, Fears ‘Genocide’

MSNBC Contributor Michelle Bernard Sees 'War on Black Boys' in America, Fears 'Genocide' (NewsBusters)

Move over, War on Women, there's a new war in town. On the August 18 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, contributor Michelle Bernard warned there is a "war on black men" in the United States, as evidence both by the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and persistent criticism of President Barack Obama from Republicans.

What's more, Bernard insisted, there would be a "genocide" of young black men unless the problem were seriously addressed to her satisfaction. Suffice it to say, Hardball host Chris Matthews at no point called out Ms. Bernard for her heated rhetoric.
