MSNBC Host Touré is under fire for portraying Mitt Romney as racist.

MSNBC host is walking on thin ice with management over “N” word comment.

Co-host Touré Neblett of the MSNBC talk show The Cycle had this to sayon Thursday’s show about Mitt Romney’s stance that President Obama should take his campaign of hate back to Chicago:

Warning: Language – Toure says Romney is particpating in n***erization of Obama

Co-host S.E. Cupp argued with Toure about the fact that he admitted that VP Joe Biden‘s “chains” comments were divisive, but is now calling Romney a “racist” for saying the Obama campaign is “angry.”

“That really bothered me,” he said. “You notice he said anger twice. He’s really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama, the ‘otherization,’ he’s not like us.”

“I know it’s a heavy thing, I don’t say it lightly, but this is ‘n***erization,’” Touré said to the apparent shock of his co-panelists. “You are not one of us, you are like the scary black man who we’ve been trained to fear.”
