‘Feminist’ Wasn’t Enough: MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry Wishes Beyoncé Had Performed with ‘Abortion’ Behind Her at the VMAs

Beyoncé’s appearing at the MTV Video Music Awards with the word “Feminist” behind her in large letters wasn’t political enough for MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry

“I have been having these imaginings where instead of behind her are these enormous letters that say ‘Feminist,’ that she’d come out and it had said, ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot,’” Harris-Perry said over the weekend, referring to the chant associated with the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. “Or [if] it had said, ‘Birth Control’. . . I mean, ‘Abortion’ behind Beyoncé.”

Harris-Perry did concede that if Beyoncé had gone with the large “Abortion” sign behind her, “she’d never sell any more records.”
