If I had a dollar for every time low income white people had been screwed by a Senator using coded language for blacks to justify his inhumanity, I'd be a very rich man.

🚨🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: CNN’s Trump Town Hall audience was told they could only APPLAUD and not BOO during Trump’s remarks.
This is despite the fact that many were “disgusted” and “bewildered” by the spectacle.
“The floor manager came out ahead of time and said, Please do not boo, please be respectful. You were allowed to applaud,” claimed Republican political consultant Matthew Bartlett.
That gave the appearance the audience always agreed with Trump and blocked any evidence they disagreed.
“In a TV setting, you hear the applause, but you don’t see the disgust,” Bartlett told Palmeri. “So Trump did not have the entire room on his side, make no mistake, even if it certainly came across that way on TV.”
Bartlett also alleged that Trump “lost the audience” regarding topics like January 6 or the 2020 election, despite the appearance on CNN that the audience was on his side.
MSNBC host Joy Reid called the event “blatant fascism meets The Jerry Springer Show” and suggested that CNN was attempting to become a “friendly place for MAGA, according to Mediaite.
CNN owes us an explanation. Why would they tell audience members not to boo? Especially when they knew Trump would likely LIE.
Seems like the game was fixed - and they deserve every bit of backlash they receive.
What do you think? Is it time to change the station?

Yes! @tanyadebose! In @africatown the #AfricatownRedevelopmentCorp is looking at deeds, but simeone has to weave the stories of #smallthingsforgotten into a narrative. Take lots of photos! @citeblackwomen @ABA_AAA #blackpreservation @scua_umass @DuBoisUMass – at Mobile, AL
When we talk about preservation we should include a historical narrative as part of the property record. This house in @indheightstx was one of the 1st homes built in the community. Once its sold & torn down, no one will remember the first family or the history. Save this place!

Ron DeSantis is fundraising for Daniel Penny, who killed a Black man on a subway.
This is the Republican Party.

I learned nothing from this town hall about Trump and his most ardent supporters I haven't known since 2016. I learned a lot about CNN.

Clara B. Williams college professors did not allow her inside the classroom because she was Black.
But that didn’t stop her. She took notes from the hallway–standing up! She eventually graduated at the age of 51 and lived to 108 years old and saw her 3 sons become doctors.

Everyone in this photo is in the same generation, the activists and the marauding segregationists. Youth doesn’t breed enlightenment. Young people will not save us. Rather, they will choose whether or not to join what King once called "the beautiful struggle to make a new world."

My daughter just asked my birth year and I said 1976, and she said, "Dang! That's close to the Holocaust." And I was going to object, but it's actually closer to the Holocaust than it is to the present day and now I'm messed up for the rest of the day.

Today we mourn the passing of Professor John Bracey, an inspirational colleague whose commitment to engaged scholarship changed the lives of those lucky enough to know or be taught by him since he joined @UMassAfroAm in 1972.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends. RIP.
