....Omarosa Manigault-Newman’s appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists’ annual convention did not go well. On Friday, the White House aide headlined a panel on police violence, moderated by BET news host Ed Gordon.....

Against Gordon’s running on-stage criticisms of the panel itself, NABJ president Sarah Glover took to the floor to defend the association’s choice to even host the panel in the first place, saying the NABJ’s policy has always been to invite members of the sitting administration to every convention.

...New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and New Yorker journalist Jelani Cobb pulled out of the panel because of a number of issues, including the last-minute addition of Manigault-Newman to the panel.....

.....Several members of the crowd—mostly a collection of journalists and professionals in the media industry—booed, walked out, or turned their backs on the debate. At one point, Manigault-Newman addressed the crowd directly. “Walking into a room where you get shut down does not open a line of communication so change can happen,” she said. She later walked off stage.

Looks like bigotry is alive and well in the NABJ. I wonder if anyone in the fake news will speak out against this hateful anti-conservative rhetoric.

They jeered her for showing up, but they would have complained they were being ignored if she didn’t.

Trump is so racist he has an African American Woman run large portions of his enterprises.

And Let an African American woman speak for him during the campaign.

But him and his voters are Nazis you know.
