MSNBC host Toure: Murder can be morally justified



MSNBC personality Toure, currently a co-host of the cable network’s mid-day chat show “The Cycle,” declared on his blog Monday that it’s morally acceptable for slaves to kill their owners.

Toure made the declaration on toure.com, in a review of Quentin Tarantino’s new slavery-themed action film “Django Unchained.”

“For the descendants of slaves, who live in a world still tangibly doused in slavery’s residue, watching Django kill his oppressors could possibly feel cathartic. If murder can ever be morally justified by the presence of clear, undiluted, sustained evil — and I believe it can — then it is justified when a slave kills a master,” Toure wrote.


Toure spent the majority of his review discussing the film’s racial implications, ultimately concluding that “Django” is not racist because it depicts black slaves killing white slaveowners, and Toure finds that empowering.

“Django is heroic not just for rescuing his wife but also for spreading justice by putting slavemasters in the grave. It’s honestly baffling to me that smart people could find Django’s slavemaster killings as anything other than heroic,” Toure wrote.

“Killing a slavemaster does not reduce the slave to the slavemaster’s moral level. Nothing short of becoming a slavemaster could do that. Murder is the only fitting punishment,” Toure wrote.

Toure, who scarcely discussed in his review the film’s entertainment value or artistic merits, explained his specialized writing style in a September 6 Time editorial.

“Part of my job when I speak about politics is to speak up for black people and say things black people need said,” Toure explained in his Time piece.

Celia, a Slave - 91 edition

by Melton A. McLaurin



ISBN13: 978-0380719358
ISBN10: 0380719355
Summary: Celia was only 14 when she was purchased by John Newsom. On the journey back to his farm, Newsom raped the young girl, beginning a horrifying pattern of sexual abuse that would last for years. Finally she confronted him, struck him fatally with a club, was brought to trial and eventually hanged. An important addition to our understanding of the pre-Civil War era. The author attempts to reconstruct the life story of Celia, a Missouri slave who killed her sexually ab ...show moreusive white master, Robert Newsom. She was hanged in 1855. "McLaurin juxtaposes the story of Celia's inquest and trial, extending from June to October 1855, with the {debate} . . . over attempts to legalize slavery in Kansas Territory. . . . At a time of such national turmoil over slavery, Judge William Hall, a Democrat with strong Unionist feelings, was determined to show that a slave like Celia could receive what he considered a fair trial. But {the author argues that} the Kansas issue inflamed Missouri politics in ways that may have worked as much against Celia as in her favor." (N Y Rev Books) Index.
