Well, we don’t shouldn’t rush to judgement. We don’t know what happened before the cameras started rolling. Let’s wait until all of the facts come in! 😼

Yeah... he tried and the problem w/ our press is the fact that they will allow her to move on instead of all of the reporters pressing for answers. They are important questions and the answers are important to the American people. THE MEDIA is being weak.

hate is so real. Even when this “game manager” manages to get the dub, he's still not good enough. He's good at what HE does, not what PM or JH does… what BP does.

You are not the only one that has spoke on this. Your comments were not as BASHING but in a time when OUR PEOPLE are looking for leadership and positivity, pointing out Obama’s absence deflects from 1) the rousing send-off that Aretha did have 2) the incredible job Obama did 2day
@EdLGordon
How quick we are to judge... I have relatives in which I have loved and been loved immensely. I missed their funerals. Trying to shame that does nothing positive for the person or OUR PEOPLE. You have no idea what he had going on yesterday. We gotta do better, sir!

I turned Black sometime in the Bay Area when E-40 sprinkled me and Tupac told me to keep my head up. I tried to fight it, but I’m all in now.

Client: I want more details in the press release.
Me: The press release is about 500 words max. A press release isn't a whole detailed story. It's a release of info to get journalists and outlets interested in doing a story.
Client: How about 1000 words?
Me: NO!

The longer the trail is held up, the more info will come out and that results in more group leaders turning away from this administration.

I recently had a prospect meeting with a biz owner who had a terrible experience with his last agency. He got took. I think he wanted my process to remedy his old wounds. Unfortunately he hasn’t healed from his past relationship. I don’t think he’s ready for a new one.

Since my brother is currently serving overseas, this is all making me feel very sick. We sacrifice as a family while our loved ones serve and the thanks this guy gets is skepticism and accusations of disloyalty by brown-nosers... UNBELIEVABLE!!

You are disconnected from the reality of the fact that the Foundational Black Americans are all of us. The truth is, nobody owes anybody else a damn thing. We should do what’s right. Being divisive is not helpful. Trying to find more differences than reasons for us to unite is

The women running around yelling about what a boss they are have the worse self esteem issues. It’s sad. Kenneth Petty is not “accused” but a convicted rapist. That’s why he was mandated to report his living situation. Sad, really.

is banking on the process being FAIR while HE is playing by his own rules. The PROCESS has traditionally been unfair for people of color, so most of us are highly skeptical. He is daring her through his actions! NOW IS THE TIME TO RISE TO THE CHALLENGE!
