Black folks are, by and large, understanding when it’s time to get that paper. Whether it’s Barack Obama getting $400,000 to give a few speeches, athletes trying to sell $500 shoes—heck, even strippers on the pole—when it comes to jobs, most black people won’t bat an eye as long as it’s legal, profitable and isn’t a violation of core principles of decency.
In fact, there are only about three jobs in existence that, if announced at the cookout, would lead to significant side eye:
1. Working in Donald Trump’s White House;
2. Working for the Milwaukee Wi, Ferguson, Mo., or Tulsa, Okla., Police Department;
3. Or working at Fox News.
These are the places that are forever perceived, for good reason, as purveying direct rhetorical, political or physical violence, against the African-American community. Yet logic dictates that inside these organizations, there have to be people just making a paycheck like anybody else would. I mean, not everybody working at the Death Star was evil, right? You figure the entire staff of Hydra didn’t want to rule the world; some just needed good health care, didn’t they?
With that in mind, we spoke to an employee of a perceived “Evil Empire,” Eboni K. Williams of Fox News. Williams was recently promoted from regular contributor to co-host of Fox News’ newest show, The Specialists, which debuted this month, airing Monday through Friday at 5 p.m.
In the wake of massive scandals about sexual harassment, racial discrimination and “fake news” charges, we asked Williams what it is like to be one of the few black faces at Fox; how she tries to be an advocate for the issues that matter; and if she’s been formally uninvited from every family barbecue until Trump leaves office.

Ya think?
My company paid 1,000 dollars an hour for furniture movers last week.
I don’t give a damn what their race, color or creed was.
Move it. Get it where it needs to be.
“probably needed a barf alert...”
You did.

California/Georgia Trucking is just as bad. :)
I like Eboni...she is SMART, doesn’t interrupt, and she’s FAIR!
“In fact, there are only about three jobs in existence that, if announced at the cookout, would lead to significant side eye”
Notice Drug Dealer isn’t among them?? It’s much worse to work for Trump or Fox News than to kill your neighbors.
What a pretty woman.
What a disgusting outlook on life.
The hatred for FoxNews just oozes out of her, and yet she works there to improve the place.
Gag me with a pitch-fork.
exactly, I would advise Eboni not to bite the hands that feed her. Perhaps this is the kind of employee the new Murdoch brothers seek...
Just another racist author...yawn.
