I'm just personally sorry to see TFG get any free platform whatsoever.

@IveyJanette

I'll just bet you're angry! Having someone who claims to represent then MIS-respresent is one of the most frustrating experiences for me.

Professional associations, like most institutions, lag HARD when it comes to policy positions (e.g. most Catholics have no problem with gay folk or women priests & my union is run by old ytguyz)

Ima get back in my lane & send Solidarity & from Tacoma

@PeachMcD I'm glad I don't belong to those organizations.

@IveyJanette

I love being represented by a union after 30 years working in kitchens, but 'user experience may vary'

Saw a good thread of people discussing the event afterwards... thought you might be happy to know those journos mighta made this one stick https://mastodon.social/@benroyce/112882736894124629

@PeachMcD I've taken my shots at this trainwreck today. Most Black folks knew it was going to be bullshit from the very minute the NABJ announced he would be there. We were right. It was bullshit beyond bullshit. He got owned. I would have up and walked out of that venue the minute he walked onstage. I'm still waiting for his ass to show up at Leimert Park on Crenshaw spouting that nonsense.

@IveyJanette
It would be so sweet if his campaign went up in dumpster flames from being pwned by questions from Black folks

Like the psalm sez "let them fall in the pit they have dug"

Solidarity from Tacoma

@PeachMcD Unfortunately there's some fools in South Central that support this clown. Even though he's a racist. They love his big mouth. His misogyny. And they think he'll give them more "free money". Oh,and the rappers supporting him.

@IveyJanette
My friend Damahn was talking about Black men he hangs out with who respect TFG as a 'player'... a pussy-grabbin' con with a lot of $$

I understood that headset better once I read about the origin of the phrase 'Judas Goat'

But can't tell any man that the rancher always eats the goat eventually

@PeachMcD My brother and I know brothas here in Albuquerque and back home in South Central LA and Inglewood who idolize him as a gangsta and pimp and misogynist just like they are.

@IveyJanette

Ewww #WEIRD

@PeachMcD Sad but true. There's even the so-called Pan African and the pro-reparations for descendants of slavery(aka Foundational Black Americans) who are urging us to vote for Trump. There's probably a few of them lurking around Leimert Park.

@IveyJanette
Splitting up Black folk by whether they got dragged here or immigrated is so evil (imo)

It's not like KKKashier Karen at the Winn Dixie or KKKevin the mortgage lender gives a , right?

@PeachMcD Nope. And by their standards,I'm "not Black American" because of my hair and very light skin. They piss me off.

But do Karen and Jim Bob care about skin tone and hair texture? We're simply the N-word to them. And nothing more.

@IveyJanette

I don't actually *like* that, but I totally agree
And from what I know about #colorism , that's pretty shitty too

Racism is all so f'ing stupid

@PeachMcD I've dealt with colorism my entire life. Including in my own family.

@IveyJanette
So sorry to hear it, hermana. One of my friends who is biracial has heartbreaking stories to tell.

<hug>

@PeachMcD Our family had beef with each other because of me. The LA side(us) vs the East Coast/Midwest/Canadian side(them).

@PeachMcD Because Black people only matter to them when we have a ball or a mic in our hands. Or when we're dead.

TBH,WGN did a much better job covering that stunt for the idiot masquerading as the #nabjconvention than ANY network or major newspaper did (We're looking at YOU,NYT, CNN,Fox News and WaPo!).

Mainstream media wants Trump back for profits and ratings. And to perpetuate negative stereotypes of Black and Latino people.

@paninid @PeachMcD It's disgusting. Miseducation at its worst. Misogynoir. Dumbasses.
