ABC ^ | December 3, 2024 | Beatrice Peterson

As President-elect Donald Trump fills out his Cabinet and chooses his closet advisers ahead of Inauguration Day, many African American leaders are asking why more Black people haven't been appointed to key positions.

ABC News spoke to more than a half dozen longtime and new African American conservatives and Republicans within Trumpworld, in and outside of Washington.

Last month, the president-elect appointed Scott Turner, who was executive director of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council during Trump's first term, to serve as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Boo freaking Hoo.

This will NOT be a DEI administration. If there are outstanding candidates available for anything, no matter what race they are, I have no doubt they'll be picked up.

Who's that guy paired up with Elon Musk again? Think, think...

Appointments based on merits, not DEI,

Only a racist would ask that question. People who are competent and did not play race politics rise to the top of the GOP. Those who got to the top because of skin color are not in positons of decison making; they are the AOCs of the RNC. Trump needs the brightest minds with legal vice like understanding of the law and constitution. Asking for racial preferences is just plain stupid. Trump is hopefully going to rid this nation of the enforced discrimination against white-males, and Asian-males.

...many African American leaders are asking why...

I didn't feel like clicking on the link; were any of the "many" leaders named, or is this just a made-up story?

Maybe Trump is color blind and making appointments based on merit.

African American leaders

That's racist. Are negroes so dumb, ignorant, and incompetent that they need "leaders"?

I don't think so ...

Apparently the racists in Big Media want people to engage in race-based groupthink.

The eternal unnamed source strikes again.

Oh B.S. Remember how the left vilified any black-Americans in Trump’s previous administration? Remember how they treated Ben Carson? Notice how even today, they show such disdain for black voters for Trump.

The media and Democrats are just upset that Trump isn’t appointing leftists, of any color but especially black, to these positions.

True.

Government positions should not be divvied out the same way roles in Hollywood are now. Seems like half of movie and TV roles and commercial roles are now decided via the DEI liberal mandates. DEI must DIE.

Did Dr. Carson get an offer? He's getting older, and he seems tired. Maybe he doesn't want a position.

Government’s attorney, Prelegor, is saying that anti-puberty drugs have little effect on a minor’s fertility should they change their minds in the future and wish to have children.

She is lying non-stop in her arguments.
