Once again, BET (Black Entertainment Television) hosted their annual awards ceremony Sunday night, and, once again it turned political. During the show, various speakers, award winners and hosts used their platforms to encourage support for Hillary Clinton and to castigate Donald Trump.
It might be useful to ask all of these entertainers what has Hillary Clinton done for the black community? She has supported policies that have led to a doubling of the federal debt, more U.S. involvement in foreign wars, and unleashed the significant threat of Islamic terrorism. None of these positions have done anything positive for African Americans. In addition, her strong support of abortion rights has contributed to the disturbing reality that black babies are aborted at a much greater percentage than white babies. While African Americans comprise only 13 percent of the country’s population, black babies are the victims in approximately 36 percent of all abortions in this country. This is truly racist and should be stopped, but all Hillary wants is for Americans to have access to even more abortion services.
Her opponent, Donald Trump, is considered a bigot, racist, Neanderthal billionaire who hates all minorities. In reality, he has truly helped thousands of minority families by providing good paying jobs in his business. This gives his African American employees not only money to provide for their families, but self-worth, something Hillary Clinton and other liberals never provide.
The Trump track record of providing jobs and opportunity to African Americans did not matter one bit to show host Tracee Ellis Ross, who encouraged young women to register to vote and determine “the next president. Welcome to the White House Hillary Clinton.”
BET Chairwoman and CEO Debra Lee extolled the virtues of gun control and the Democrat sit-in in Congress. She presented the humanitarian award to Black Lives Matter activist and actor Jesse Williams.
In one of the most racist speeches ever given at an awards program, Williams said that America built a system to “destroy us.” He claimed that blacks in this country are oppressed and buried “out of sight, out of mind.” For good measure, he also added that “this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us.” He said that whites extract “our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil, like black gold, ghettoizing and demeaning our creations and stealing them.” To show the double standard in our country, just imagine if a white actor had used similar language to criticize black Americans. To say there would be an uproar is an understatement.
Interestingly, Williams is an actor on a television show, Grey’s Anatomy, with plenty of white co-stars, white viewers and white sponsors. If not for white support, Williams may not be a rich, successful activist winning awards from BET.
Later in the awards ceremony, actor Samuel L. Jackson praised Williams for his “true” remarks and encouraged people to go to the polls this fall and “take eight more people with you.” The goal, according to Jackson, was not to be “tricked like they did in London.”
Interestingly, Jackson is like so many liberal entertainers of all races who supported the United Kingdom remaining in the European Union. Fortunately, the majority of UK voters decided to restore their national sovereignty and end ties to the mammoth bureaucracy in Brussels, Belgium.
Despite plenty of warnings and fear mongering, the people of the UK did the right thing by voting for independence and freedom. This universal desire should be appreciated by celebrities like Jackson, but, unfortunately, they are brainwashed to support globalism and more international oversight, not less.
Just in case the message was not delivered strong enough, the awards ceremony ended with recording artist Usher wearing a T-shirt that read, “Don’t Trump America.”
Overall the awards show was a disgusting display of political favoritism and partisanship with episodes of outright racism. It is a shame that these celebrities are given so much acclaim. In reality, they are not doing their fellow African Americans any favors as the plight of black people in this nation has not improved after almost eight years of Barack Obama. It will just be more of the same with Hillary Clinton.
As crazy as it sounds, the best choice for African Americans in November is to support Donald Trump. He has experience doing what Hillary Clinton has never done – create jobs. This is a much better way to help African Americans than Hillary’s only solution, growing the ranks of people dependent on government programs.
The entertainment industry has been filled with communists since the 1950s. Why would anyone expect the black wing of it to be exempt?
And the “Black community” has such a wonderful track record of backing some of the most wonderful people, like (insert name of any Black criminal killed by cops).
It so good we have a BET otherwise black actors would have no way to get their participation trophy for breathing
I’ve never understood why the Negro people, Black, African-American, whatever they have been called over time — I’ve never understood why they give 90+% of their votes automatically to Democrat candidates.
Why is this? Are they voting Democrat to show gratitude to President Johnson and Democrats for passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965?
But then, if that’s what they are doing, their voting is misguided. If you go back and check the roll call votes, you will see that numerous Republicans supported those laws. And in the case of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, proportionally more Republicans than Democrats voted for that law.
Do they think somehow, that because of their historically erroneous view, that Democrats gave them civil rights, that this means that they always have to vote Democrat? Do they realize that they can vote for Republicans, Green party, various independent candidates?
Must watch video!!!
Race doesn't matter. Income doesn't matter. Religion doesn't matter.

Not to mention that immigration and open borders hurts the African American community, as well...
She is a good bet if you want to buy access to the highest office in the land. She won’t make political appointees to her cabinet, she’ll auction them off to the highest bidder.
The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. Blacks are no better off today than they were 50 years ago, yet they keep on voting for DemocRats.
They support all the gimme stuff, not Democrats. If the gimme stuff was given out by Satan they’d be talking up
Satan.
Old racist lesbian cracker with bad fake ghetto accent.
That too
Just rwalked the other evening how many AA pastors and radio hosts have come out for DJT It has to have some impact. How much we don’t know yet because polls really are not accurate in some communities
There is a fear of retribution as usually happens to people being bullied.
Hillary is a bad bet...PERIOD...
That’s a good point.
Ever watch the blacks fight on youtube? Seems like they are retarded.
i.e. “They catchin they breath” wth does that mean? And more illiterate nonsense is spewed than I can recall.
But it’s fun watching them beat each other up, especially the females.....
BET has allowed itself to get pulled into a foolish school of thought.
Even entertainment is only a medium. It can serve multiple causes, including those we broadly refer to as left and right.
So this is our current state of affairs. It is a challenging one.
But Donald Trump knows something about show biz and drama too. He was a WWE show wrestler. If he can get a majority of support in November, he then may be able to sell the rest of America on his vision in the ensuing years.
