MSNBC host Joy Reid said Thursday on her show “The ReidOut” that the Atlanta Braves fans’ “racist” tomahawk chop gesture is the embodiment of Trumpian white privilege. Reid said, “The World Series between the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros is happening now, shifting to the stadium in Atlanta for the next three games, which means viewers across the country will soon be subjected to a particular show of fandom that has roiled baseball for decades. That’s the Tomahawk Chop, correction, the racist Tomahawk Chop. A synchronized movement of the arm by Atlanta fans at home games. A gesture and chant promoting stereotypes, caricatures, and frankly hatred of Native American people.
