Reid, whose parents immigrated from the Republic of Congo and Guyana, slammed Vance's remark as patronizing and dangerous.
“Waking up… to the reality that the vice president of the United States deliberately put a target on you… is something,” Reid wrote on Threads.
Reid noted that as a Black immigrant’s daughter, Vance’s framing felt like a direct threat, especially given the rising political hostility toward nonwhite immigrants.
On Substack, Reid wrote that she doesn’t “feel the need to take advice” from a man “whose moral North Star is Curtis Yarvin,” referencing the far-right political theorist. She added that the idea that Black success requires gratitude to white America is “just the same old racist balderdash” from the right.
