Well there's nothing like saying Black women who were raped during slavery benefitted from the brutality to enhance your career at MSNBC. To refresh your memory, this is what Toure thinks about Black women:

"Some [Black women and girl slaves] were cunning and brilliant enough to use their bodies to gain liberation thus fooling massa. Of course most were raped, we know that, but some were sharp enough to trade that good-good for status or liberation." Gawker

If Toure had been a White male saying these things, his career would have been DONE!

MSNBC not only kept him on, but handed him a promotion for all of his hard work joking about Black women being raped during slavery:

The Cycle, which debuts Monday, features a permanent cast of four: Conservative commentator S.E. Cupp, author and pundit Touré, Salon writer Steve Kornacki and former congressional candidate Krystal Ball. Deadline

But he's a Black male, which means that the powers that be are used to Black women being marginalized and dehumanized by other Black people. Think about that the next time you tune into MSNBC.
