Nick Cannon got history of Democrats and Republicans WRONG. Why didn't he talk about the 'Lily White Movement' of 1928? Historian Michael Imhotep founder of The African History Network #History#NickCannon#DonaldTrump#Republicans#Democrats
Let the adult in the room speak.
To Nick Cannon and Chilli — I say this with love, but also with truth.
What y’all are saying right now… in my opinion… is dead wrong.
Now let me be clear — I’m the one who fought all the way to the Supreme Court for free speech. So I respect your right to say whatever you want. That’s a fact.
But this hits different.
Because the same Black people you’re turning your backs on…
The same Black women you’re dismissing…
Those are the same people who built you.
They buy your tickets. They watch your shows. They support your careers.
And now you’re aligning with a man — Donald Trump — who has openly disrespected Black women, including Michelle Obama, and countless other accomplished Black women.
Let’s talk facts:
Our people depend on the Department of Education.
Our people depend on HUD.
Our people depend on opportunity — not having their achievements dismissed as “DEI.”
This same man has:
•Tried to erase Black history
•Limited what our children can learn
•Praised and pardoned officers involved in killing unarmed Black men
So don’t act like this is just politics. This is personal.
Nick, you were right about one thing — yes, a Republican president signed the law freeing enslaved Africans. That’s history.
But you left out everything that happened AFTER that.
You left out where today’s MAGA movement stands.
You left out who has consistently fought for civil rights, voting rights, and opportunity.
If it was left up to them right now, they’d take us backwards — not forward.
And let’s be real…
If they truly cared about Black people — about Foundational Black Americans, descendants of slaves — we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.
We’d be talking about reparations.
So I’m not coming at y’all with hate… I’m coming at you with responsibility.
Because influence comes with accountability.
And right now… y’all on the wrong side of this one.
And people keep asking me why I’m running for Congress — this is exactly why.
To stand up. To speak out. To fight for our people when others won’t.

Make sure you’re on the right side of history.
How 19th-century Felony laws in Florida were crafted to block Black People from Voting — the roots of modern disenfranchisement 🗳️ #VotingRights#History
Truly insane. If Barack Obama had said you should call the employer of anyone cheering Trayvon Martin’s murder it is all conservatives would talk about for decades.
Here's nearly 6 minutes of Donald Trump calling his political opponents "the enemy within" on the campaign trail and JD Vance both denying and defending Trump's remarks
Remember when Trump took out a newspaper ad calling for 5 Black men to be lynched & then someone else confessed & DNA confirmed it but MAGAworld created a conspiracy theory that the Black guys were still guilty & should’ve been lynched?
We need to stop this incendiary rhetoric
So when the El Paso shooter massacred Latinos at a Walmart in Trump’s first term, he was using language Trump had used for years (invasion, etc). Jennings defended Trump from charges of responsibility or incitement at the time.
@rolandsmartin@Tyrese@Tyrese is 100% WRONG and hasn't read the COVID-19 Act. It does not make it a Federal Hate Crime to kill Asian Americans. He should do more research before speaking. The bill actually deals with data collection and applies to all races and ethnicities.
BREAKING: Kamala Harris picks Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as running mate as she looks to boost Democratic ticket in Midwest, AP sources say.

Once again, the estate and family of @isaachayes DID NOT approve the use of “Hold on I’m coming’” written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter by Donald Trump tonight in Atlanta.
We and our partners at @primarywave are taking legal action to stop the unauthorized use of this song.
Donald Trump represents the worst in honesty, integrity and class and want no association with his campaign of hate and racism.
It is an abomination that the @NABJ leadership is allowing @HARRISFAULKNER to participate in a panel questioning Donald Trump. Her network is 100% in the tank for Trump. They also paid $787 million for advancing his lies about the 2020 election. That disqualifies them COMPLETELY.
BREAKING NEWS: Vice President @KamalaHarris will not be speaking at @NABJ in-person or virtually. They offered for her to take questions virtually, but was turned down by NABJ. That makes NO sense. We do interviews DAILY by satellite, Skype and Zoom, so this should have happened.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
