Trump finally got around to nominating someone with no experience for the one “Black job” in his cabinet, Scott Turner for secretary of HUD. Ben Carson, who also had no experience, served in the post during Trump’s first administration. How come Housing and URBAN Development is the only top level cabinet position he gives to a Black person?

If burning Teslas make you furious, but watching thousands of federal workers get stripped of their jobs, healthcare, and pensions doesn’t move you—YOU are the problem. If scorched cars spark more outrage than billions being slashed from cancer research, humanitarian aid, education, and support for the most vulnerable—your moral compass is broken. This ain’t about Teslas. It’s about twisted priorities, cold-hearted politics, and willful ignorance. Silence in the face of suffering is complicity. Miss us with your fake outrage.

So THIS is what MAGA calls “merit.” Donald Trump spent the last year preaching that jobs should be based on MERIT, not race, not gender, not diversity, not equity. His administration dismantled DEI programs, purged federal workers, and helped create a federal workforce contraction in which roughly 300,000 Black women lost their government jobs. We were told this was necessary because America had to stop supposedly giving jobs to “unqualified” people and return to “merit.” Then Lindsey Graham dies. And who does Donald Trump recommend to replace a United States Senator?** Lindsey Graham’s sister.** Not because she had distinguished herself in foreign policy. Not because she had served in Congress. Not because she had demonstrated expertise in national security. Because she was Lindsey Graham’s sister. And now, sitting in a debate seeking a full term in the United States Senate, a body responsible for declaring war, confirming national security officials, approving defense spending and shaping American foreign policy, she is asked about national security and admits: “I’m not that informed on national security.” But she supports the military. You cannot make this hypocrisy up. A Black woman can have degrees, decades of experience, glowing evaluations and an entire career of public service and MAGA will sneer that she must have been a “DEI hire.” But Donald Trump can recommend somebody’s sister, a white woman, for the UNITED STATES SENATE, despite her having virtually no relevant political or national-security experience, and suddenly nobody wants to talk about qualifications. That tells you what their war on DEI was always really about.** “Merit” was never the standard. It was the slogan.** When Black people and women advance, MAGA demands résumés, credentials, experience and proof that we belong. When their friends, relatives and loyalists get the position, apparently the only qualification necessary is WHO YOU KNOW, or WHO YOU’RE RELATED TO. They didn’t eliminate preferential treatment. They changed who gets preferred. And this video is the receipt.

Garry Porter is a 66 year-old white man who lives in Glendale, Arizona. He is the engineering director at Caris Life Sciences Caris Life Sciences. He was upset that I condemned racists for donating $700,000 to Shiloh Hendrix, who called an autistic five-year-old Black boy a ni88er, so he left a voicemail at my church. In his voicemail, he referred to the Black autistic child and other Black people as “Black negroes,” distorted what happened, which we can clearly see the viral video, relegated the vitriolic, racist, epithet as “just a word.” he then referred to black people as “clowns” who “use it everyday” to justify Hendrix calling the child a ni88er. He closed his vitriolic, racist message by telling me to “shut up“ and to preach to the “fools that listen” to my “crap” and “leave the country alone.” He closed out his diatribe by disrespectfully calling me “fat boy.“ Gary, make no mistake about it, I am a full grown Black MAN and neither you nor any other bigot can shut me up or make me leave the country that my ancestors built.

Trump called Black history divisive, race centered, and corrosive. He’s threatening to strip funding from the Smithsonian African American Museum. Yet, some of y’all went to the White House to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth with a white supremacist who is trying to erase Black history. Make it make sense.

This Black man gets harassed by racist white people who can’t mind their business while fishing in his own neighborhood. A racist white woman was fired from her job when his video of her harassing him went viral. Instead of the home owners association, president addressing his racist neighbors harassing him, he has the caucacity to ask the Black man to stop filming their racism.

Knew a girl named Nicki and she wasn’t American… Watching Nicki Minaj stand on a Turning Point USA stage and say that Trump and JD Vance make her “proud to be an American” is the height of hypocrisy, because she isn’t American. She was born in Trinidad and Tobago and, by her own admission, has been an undocumented immigrant since she was a five year old child. She cannot vote in U.S. elections, yet she’s praising the architects of policies that are devastating Black people, immigrants, and marginalized communities. While everyday immigrants, especially Black and brown immigrants, are being rounded up by ICE, detained, and deported, celebrity, wealth, and global fame provide insulation. ICE isn’t kicking down Nicki Minaj’s door. Power protects her in ways it will never protect working-class families living in fear. To praise racist white men who are erasing Black history, attacking civil rights, and brutalizing immigrants, then wrap it in hollow patriotism about being “proud to be an American” isn’t bold or independent. It’s privilege talking. Loudly. And it shows just how disconnected some celebrities are from the people whose culture made them rich.

Watch Stephen A Smith speak on… OJ Simpson - “This man as far as I’m concerned is a double murderer“ Jerry Jones - “I’m very fond of Jerry Jones. I’m pissed off because he doesn’t deserve this” Donald Trump - “We (Black people) relate to you when you’re suffering like that because we know we have” 🦝

COMING SOON TO NETFLIX… 🎬 The Difference Between a Costume and a Credential. Preparing for my Netflix documentary about what it actually takes to earn a real doctorate: years of coursework, comprehensive exams, original research, a successfully defended dissertation, committee reviews, and a degree conferred by an accredited institution of higher learning. Apparently, in 2026, the radical idea that academic titles should be earned, not performed, is controversial. Some people rehearse talking points. Others defend dissertations. Some people build a brand around “Doctor.” Others put in the work to become one. There is no shortcut to scholarship. There is no influencer path to academic integrity. And there is no substitute for the discipline required to earn the title. The receipts aren’t in a skit. They’re in the transcript, the dissertation, and the diploma. 🎓 Will the real doctors please sound off!

While sycophantic Black folks were busy skinning and grinning for photo ops at the White House, Donald Trump’s administration was gutting opportunities for Black students—suspending the 1890 National Scholars Program, a vital scholarship for HBCU students in agriculture and related fields. This is the same white supremacist who’s attacked DEI programs, threatened schools for teaching Black history, and now stripped financial support from underserved Black communities. Celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth with someone actively working against Black progress isn’t empowerment—it’s betrayal. #StayWoke #ProtectHBCUs #NotForSale

Since when did POPULARITY become the determining factor in making the OLYMPIC TEAM? The way these Black men are moving goal posts around to cape for Caitlyn Clark is embarrassing. This was shannon sharpe on Sha’Carri Richardson: “She could’ve competed. She didn’t qualify to compete. Stop the bull jive antics. Train hard. Sports aren’t sympathetic. You do or you don’t.” He never said she should’ve made the team based on her popularity. But on Caitlyn Clarke not making the Olympic team: “Are we trying to grow the game or not?” Also hilarious that Shay Shay blocked me for calling out his tap dancing.

Another triggered Trump supporting “Christian“ white man calling with insults and threats. Jeff Beaupain ( from Dallas, Texas, a grown man pushing 60, called my church threatening to “beat the sh*t” out of me because I called Trump racist. Let that sink in. Old enough to be a grandfather. Old enough to know better. Old enough to understand the Constitution he claims to love. Yet emotionally fragile enough to call a church and threaten physical violence over a social media post. This is white fragility on full display. You have every right to disagree with me. You have every right to post your opinion on your page. You do NOT have the right to threaten violence because you can’t control what I say on mine. If your politics make you this unhinged, the problem isn’t my critique, it’s your insecurity. And for the record, Jeff: intimidation doesn’t work over here.
