What?! Learning so much today </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948497 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 14:39:32 +0000 BKCaribBaby 948497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: @Mrs. Jacks: Yup! That's him. I can't believe that he's all over tv now. We crossed paths his first of his grad program. He wasn't Mormon then. I'm not sure if he's out or just very into LGBT issues, ;) </p> <p>Fascinating re:MHP and her connection to Mormonism! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948491 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 14:29:35 +0000 mrsjazz 948491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I will have to go back and watch the show. I wasn't a fan of hers in the beginning but she grew on me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948486 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 14:26:38 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 948486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: that's right. But her mom's family goes back a long way in the church. She talked about it early on in her show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948476 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 14:18:14 +0000 mrsjazz 948476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Really? I'm curious. I just learned that she's biracial last week. I had no idea because she self identifies as being black.</p> <p>ETA: her mom left the Mormon church, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948474 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 14:16:15 +0000 mrsjazz 948474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is handsome.

DW right? Cute. Did you know MHP has a whole Mormon side to her family? History of polygamy and all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948460 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 14:07:16 +0000 BKCaribBaby 948460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: @Mrs. Jacks: You two are so funny. Ok. I'll be nice and give you one last detail that will totally give him away. You have to promise to only use his initials though as he's all over the Internet now. Ready?</p> <p>Apparently, he's now a Mormon. He talked about that on the show. That should easily come up on a google search. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948447 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 13:57:10 +0000 mrsjazz 948447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BKCaribBaby: @Mrs. Jacks: We are so nosy!

Nope. He's bald. He's been on other networks, too. He may have only been on her show once or twice. Maybe he's not gay? It's been years since we've spoken directly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948430 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 13:45:49 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 948430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BKCaribBaby: capeheart?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948421 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 13:44:00 +0000 BKCaribBaby 948421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: nope. ;) he's Black.</p> <p>Eta: he may be gay now though...lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948412 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 13:39:08 +0000 mrsjazz 948412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BKCaribBaby: I'm so nosy!

I've seen her on MHP. We are acquaintances. I met her and her husband at a party of a mutual friend and we all became FB friends :) Will probably see them at this year's party :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948229 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 11:51:36 +0000 yoursilverlining 948229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: wow, that would be cool!!! Her initials are CB. She and my husband have been friends for a long time, they met when she was at Rutgers (through my husband's first wife) - both she and my husband are political theorists. She and her husband are wonderful! heehee what a small world! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948148 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:49:12 +0000 mrsjazz 948148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I think I know her! :) Small world! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948141 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:46:24 +0000 yoursilverlining 948141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: yep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948099 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:22:24 +0000 mrsjazz 948099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Is your friend a professor at NYU? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948094 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:19:25 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 948094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: everyone has met her except me. So jealous!</p> <p>I must say I liked Chris much better on UP than on All In. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948087 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:17:37 +0000 yoursilverlining 948087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I love MHP! Also, Rachel Maddow. I love strong, smart, witty women &lt;3</p> <p>A friend of ours has been on MHP several times discussing latina/latino politics and said she is just as awesome off camera as on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-nerdland-melissa-harris-perry-fans#post-948077 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:14:06 +0000 mrsjazz 948077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: She is so smart. And I do love how she incorporates music into her show.</p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: MHP's show has definitely gotten better. Chris Hayes is great and so is Rachel Maddow. We DVR all three shows. </p>
