D.L. Hughley Smashes Trump For Daring To Pander To Black Celebrity

This is Hughley's response to Steve Harvey's earlier meeting with Trump, as we read it in The Chicagoist.

http://chicagoist.com/2017/01/13/trump_asks_steve_harvey_to_help_chi.php

I'm totally with Hughley on this. My take is that Trump's attractive wealth or appeals to manhood should never excuse his use of racism before all of America. Racism is why the vast inequalities of manhood and wealth exist to begin with.

I'd ask conservative Steve Harvey: "Just what are you conservatives conserving, again? Life? Liberty? Happiness? For whom? Are you sure this isn't a 'Lucy and the football" moment?

I'll never forget how he started and how people overlooked it. I don't think the media and trump voters understand how angry people are but they are going to find out.

My labeling him conservative is, indeed, arguable.

I've met Mr. Hughley when he appeared at the comedy club I worked at. He took great pride in performing to a high degree (being funny) without cussing. In fact, he didn't even cuss off stage. He is some kind of pissed!

Trump keeps trotting them out like props - I wish they would stop cooperating with the charade.

on Bill Maher one night....It was the only truly perfect response that I have ever heard after someone spouted illogical right wing nonsense.
