??? With all respect, the narrative is the OPPOSITE of what Mr. Carlson has portrayed. You'll find a much more accurate perspective here: https://t.co/W1k8uqxqJV. I would encourage Mr. Carlson to have this Christian guest from Israel on his show. That being said, the wording of your post suggests you already have your mind made up. I would love to be proven wrong about that.
Statement on Video Depicting the Obamas
I just spoke directly with President Trump regarding the offensive Obama ape video that circulated online. The President assured me clearly and unequivocally that he did not post it. He understands the painful and racist history in America of depicting African Americans as apes, a tactic long used by white supremacists to demean Black intelligence and humanity. He knows this is wrong, offensive, and unacceptable.
The President made it clear to me that this post was made by a staffer and not by him. My recommendation to the President was direct and firm. That staffer should be fired immediately, and the President should publicly condemn this action. This kind of insensitive and racist communication does not reflect the heart, values, or leadership of the President of the United States, nor does it represent the America we are striving to build.
Historically, the intelligence of Black Americans has been questioned and attacked in shameful ways. From the era of slavery, when enslaved Africans were falsely portrayed as inferior to justify bondage, to the Civil War, when Black Union soldiers were often denied officer ranks despite bravery and leadership, to the Jim Crow era, where racist pseudoscience compared Black people to animals in textbooks, cartoons, and propaganda. Even into the modern era, these same ugly stereotypes have been recycled to undermine Black achievement, leadership, and dignity.
Racism must be confronted, not excused. Accountability matters. And leaders must always speak clearly when lines are crossed. #SpiritualDiplomat
@followffoz@michaeljknowles This is what we get when we dont understand the covenant God made with Abraham and the covenant God made with Israel in Exodus.
I know it can feel like the world’s problems are too big. But real impact doesn’t always look dramatic.
Sometimes it’s quiet, small, and unseen—a kind word, a helping hand, or just showing up for someone. These little acts matter more than you realize.
