What Happened to Trump’s Favorite Blacks?
During his run to the White House, President Donald Trump seemed to have an endless supply of African-American supporters whom he could rush out to sing his praises. There was the B.A.P.S-like duo of Diamond and Silk and the greasy-headed preacher Darrell Scott. And there was 2017’s real-life Stephen from Django: Milwaukee County Sheriff David…

Black Republicans Are Mad at Omarosa, but It’s Not Her Fault They’re Still Foolish Enough to Believe in the GOP
There are many things about Omarosa Manigault that are befuddling. Like, say, why she enters every interview as if she’s Sensational Queen Sherri and everyone else is Miss Elizabeth or Sweet Sapphire. Indeed, very few ordained ministers maneuver like Omarosa, who seemingly resides in a constant state of “Who the fuck want war?” The fact…

Why Paris Dennard Needs To Catch The Fade In The Worst Possible Way
For the past 6 months I’ve struggled to come to terms with the results of the November 8th that put Trump and them in the White House. Even worse, I can’t come to terms with the fact that many of our own people chose death over life and help to put him in there. I’m…

Ann Coulter Is Dating Jimmie Walker. Are Your Eyes Burning, Too?
Old people love to tell other people’s business without a single care in the world. And why should they care? They’re old as hell, so there has to be a certain reverence from anyone their junior. Well, if you were raised right, you show respect to the AARP demo, but even if you don’t, they…

Stomp the Yard: Nice Try, but Republicans Still Don’t Get HBCUs
2017 is a strange time for America’s HBCUs. In the rearview mirror is President Barack Obama, whom African-American college students loved and voted for in historic numbers. At the same time, Obama was tone-deaf to the concerns of many HBCUs, and his policies gutted schools across the nation. In front of them is President Donald…

Tim Scott Doesn’t Like Being Called Names for Voting for Sessions, but He Must Live With Voting for a Good Ol’ Boy
Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) seems to prefer that you not refer to him as a “house Negro.” Or as an “Uncle Tom.” Likewise, Scott does not care for the insinuation that his conservative leanings equate to a complete condemnation of his own community.

Howard U. Republican Students Actually Think Donald Trump Will Benefit Black People
Howard University’s College Republicans organization has rebooted itself after 10 years of being silent. Why? Because its members think Donald Trump will actually benefit black people. Alexis Hasty is the woman behind the resurgence of the group, and she even received a $2,000 donation from Republican National Committee Chairman-turned-White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.…

I Went to the Black Trump Inauguration Party so You Didn’t Have To
Donald Trump is not popular with black people. Donald Trump was not the most popular candidate for president in 2016. Donald Trump is so unpopular that he can’t convince a Bruce Springsteen cover band to perform at his inauguration. These are facts.

Colin Powell Is a Shady Old Man, and the Email Pal We All Need
When I typically think of black Republicans, I put them in a basket of deplorables alongside Beyoncé haters (Beytheists), people who prefer KFC over Popeyes (tasteless) and people who walk too damn slow on highly trafficked streets (move!). Like, how do you trust anyone black who puts his or her trust in George H.W. Bush…
