A split in the Black community over Kamala Harris has erupted into a melee on social media.
Radio host Rickey Smiley encountered massive pushback online after he scolded Black voters who refused to support the vice president’s White House run.
“I’m just sick of the Black people on the internet talking about, ’I’m not with [Ms. Harris].’ OK, so if you’re not with her, that means you’re with Trump,” Mr. Smiley said on his morning radio show. “Y’all need to block every last one of their asses on Facebook and on Instagram and social media — and stop. That’s just garbage.”
He added, “[We] can’t agree on a damn bucket of chicken. One person wants a hot dog. Black folks get on my damn nerves, man,” he said.
Civil rights activist Umar Johnson excoriated Mr. Smiley and fellow Harris booster Steve Harvey.
Mr. Johnson said the Harris campaign offered him $10,000 to interview Ms. Harris, but he turned down the money.
“I’m not no Rickey Smiley or Steve Harvey. You don’t drop no check off and say, ’Get the negroes to the plantation on November the [5th],’” he said on his YouTube show that was posted on X, adding, “Black vote ain’t for sale.”
He said Mr. Smiley was embarrassing himself.
“Ricky Smiley, I love you, but crying on the radio for Kamala Harris, my brother, that’s an all-time low. Don’t do that again.”
“Rickey Smiley and Steve Harvey, y’all only carried on because y’all got paid to carry on,” Mr. Johnson said. “Kamala Harris and the Democratic plantation is paying you celebrities, paying you to shame Black people into voting. Y’all know we not going to get nothing out of that vote.”

Color me shocked!
Steve Harvey did a skin color check, and he now supports Communist Harris. Racist and sick.
The black overseer is the one most pissed off when fellow slaves escape the plantation.
Some people just can’t let those black folks think for themselves. It’s not allowed don’t you know.
There will be other alternatives in the general election besides Kamala and Trump, including Cornel West (who is actually African American, unlike Kamala), and RFK Jr., whose father supported civil rights in the 1960s. RFK Sr. was running for President in 1968 when he heard about the assassination of MLK Jr., and made an eloquent and emotional speech to a largely black crowd who had not heard about the assassination until he told them.
Get with the times, Rufus. Whites are supposed to support her because she is diverse and they're supposed to be inclusive in their equity. / DEI joke
“You got a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. reading in a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. into the damn White House,” he said. “What’s wrong with y’all?”
Black social media influencer Demetra Kaye clapped back on her show that members of the Black sororities and fraternities were not in charge of the Black vote.
“You’re going to have to give me something for my vote. And he’s mad about that, telling us to just stop it. Like, who is she? Kamala is not better than us,” she said. “The fraternities and sororities, they’re not better than us, and that’s the other thing. They think that they have been put in charge of us.”
clapped back...LOL...cultural appropriation.
Very.
Ya you uppity Blacks, don’t you dare think for yourselves and leave the plantation. How dare you. s/
So THAT'S how that works.
I can tell you right now that Rickey Smiley got paid to say that. Some people who have been offered money to push the democrats have come out and exposed it instead of taking the money.
Whites will self-loathe themselves into extinction.
Not THIS white man. I’m no liberal, leftist soy boy.
Black vote ain’t for sale.”He said.😆
