The one-eyed Black cyclops on social media, and main stream media aka social “influencers,” aka the NABJ who have been misleading quite a few Black people over the years, are crying foul. The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) created a firestorm after their leaders invited former presidents to speak at their convention.
Some members of the NABJ called on their top leaders to resign. The brouhaha forced Karen Attiah, the co-chairwoman of the National Association of Black Journalists convention, to step down. That wasn’t very smart of her.
Being Black When It’s Convenient.
What turned out to be the great takeaway from Trump’s attendance at the NABJ convention was his statement about his Indian counterpart, Vice President Kamala Harris. When asked about Kamala’s “Black” heritage, Trump responded, “First of all, when I first met her, she was only promoting her Indian Heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until several years ago.” VP Harris first met Donald Trump in the 1990s.
When Kamala Harris met Trump in the 1990s, she was Indian. Donald Trump knows the game. “Game recognized game, Hoes do too. If you knew 2-Live Crew, I suppose you do.” — Rapper Jay-Z. Trump went on to say, ” I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black.” And now she wants to be known as Black. Facts.
“The facts, please, ma’am, just the facts.”
The convention moderators were Rachel Scott of ABC News, Fox News-owned Harrison Faulkner, and Kadia Goba Semifor. Rachel Scott is mainly considered a balanced Journalist. Fox News-owned Harrison Faulkner comes across as a shameless, self-hating Republican shill and a mammy. Because of the Boule’s uproar, it did not take Scott long to establish what she thinks is her Black bonafide.
It is a credible perception that most members of the NABJ are Democrat party shills. They bleed blue no matter who, and frequently, they work against the best interests of the Black grassroots within the community.
Rachel Scott started by asking Donald Trump the first question: “Mr. President, I’m so glad that you gave us an hour of your time.” I want to address the elephant in the room. Ms. Scott said, “Many people do not think it was appropriate for you to be here today. “You have pushed false claims, from Nikki Haley to Barack Obama, saying that they were not born in the United States—which is not valid.
She continued, “You have had dinner with a White supremacist at your Mar-a-Lago resort.” “So my question, sir, now that you are asking Black supporters to vote for you, why should Black voters trust you after you have used language like that?”
Former President Trump responded with his vintage backhanded takedown of Rachel Scott. “First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner.” “You don’t even say hello. How are you?” Are you with ABC? Trump asked. Because I think they are a fake news network — a terrible network,” Trump responded. “I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the Black population of this country. I have done so much for the Black Population.”
The fact is, as a private citizen, Donald Trump has made some disparaging and detrimental comments about some Black members of the community. As President, he did not do much to aid the Black community. However, as President, Donald Trump has done less to harm the Black community than Joe Biden has done as Senator and as President.
Donald Trump has passed laws to destroy members of the Black community. Joe Biden has passed laws to ruin the lives of many in the Black community. And Joe Biden has made more disparaging comments about Black people in America than has Donald Trump.
So, while some people are upset that they invited Trump to have a conversation with the NABJ, mostly the grassroots or those who listen to the Black Media are celebrating his invitation. There is a whole “new” world of Black journalists who are reaching the grassroots, and their message is uncompromising and contrary to what the NABJ is propagandizing. Rachel Scott shamed herself.
Unfortunately, most members of the NABJ have become shills of the Democratic party instead of being journalists.
