'Boiling with anger': Social media erupts after Trump Q&A disaster with Black reporters

Former President Donald Trump's appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention on Wednesday was met with fierce backlash on social media, after the former president ranted off-topic for much of the discussion, and complained that the microphones weren't working.

In addition to insulting the Black journalists who interviewed him, the MAGA hopeful also claimed not to know the race of his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, whose mother was Indian, and whose father is Jamaican.

Responding to whether he will denounce Republicans who claim Harris is a "DEI hire," Trump said the vice president "was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went, she became a Black person."

MSNBC's Symone Sanders wrote via X: "Okay people let’s not just repeat Donald Trump’s claims about Vice President Harris without saying what he said about the VP is both false and rooted in racism."

Ex-Trump communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin commented: "These comments won’t just hurt him with the black community. Most Americans (but apparently not Trump!) understand the concept of being biracial and that to talk this way about anyone’s race is offensive."

Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah emphasized: "Room is boiling with anger and disappointment right now."

Speaking to other issues Trump was asked about, NPR investigative correspondent Tom Dreisbach noted: "Trump says he would pardon Jan. 6 rioters convicted of assaulting police, because 'they were convicted by a very, very tough system.' Approximately 140 officers were injured that day."


Just can't hide it when you are a racist.

He just can't help himself, now watch the racist flock here to defend him.
I only watched a couple of minutes of it. The reason was that from the second he sat down, he was being verbally attacked. This was apparently a hit piece and he should have just gotten up and walked out. When he was attacked for referring to a couple of black female journalists in a negative way, he should have immediately reminded the interviewer that he refers to all leftists journalists in negative ways, as they are biased, as was the interviewer and audience he encountered.
He should have just turned down the invitation as most blacks have been fed the leftist lie that whites are racist and they face systemic racism, which is B.S.. The proof is simply in the following:
1. There is absolutely NO occupation in this nation that doesn't have blacks either working in, managing in, or owning, except "currently" in the presidency and there was one of those and no doubt will be more in the future, but with only 13% of the overall population being black, they're not going to make up 50% of the presidents.
2. There is absolutely NO glass-ceiling for blacks. Get rid of the democrat run school system and improve the schools, and our educational standards in the inner-cities will improve.
