MSNBC’s Joy Reid: Constitution was founded for Slave Catchers and Rittenhouse executed martyrs that were defending black lives.

Joy Reid
“This country was built on the idea of a White Man had a particular kind of freedom and a particular kind of citizenship that only they have. That gives, you know, from the Slave Catchers on, the right to inflict violence in the name of protecting property.”

“That’s like the foundational creation of the United Stares.”

Referring to the three people shot by Rittenhouse and their families:

“They should be on our minds now. They suffered.”

“There have been a lot of White People, you know, who have defended Black Lives and paid for it with their lives.

That goes all throughout history and goes back to John Brown and the Civil Rights Movement.”
