Joy Reid's chief asskisser (Ja'han Jones) isn't too happy with the Stephen A's of the black community.
"Rich, Black celebs (Katt Williams, 50 Cent, Stephen A) who push conservative, anti-immigrant talking points seem to be shaping up as a disturbing trend in the Black pop culture space ahead of this year’s elections. Specifically, talking points that portray migrants as grifters who suck up tax dollars that might otherwise go to poor Americans.
Here’s the thing: No matter how many times the
claim gets
undermined by the facts, scapegoating migrants for receiving resources that might otherwise be used to benefit poor people — particularly less-wealthy Black people and other minority communities — is a well-known tactic
used by conservatives to engender xenophobia among those groups.
As today’s Republican Party
looks to fuel anti-immigrant sentiment ahead of this year’s elections, the conservative movement seems elated that Black celebs are adopting anti-immigrant talking points for their audiences (note the praise from Fox News for
50 Cent’s rhetoric.)"
So basically, wealthy black men are too stupid and too gullible to have their own opinion, thus, they get their talking points from wealthy white conservatives. Lol. Good one.
