Outkick's Jason Whitlock appeared on Tucker Carlson's FOX News show on Wednesday to talk about his interview with President Donald Trump and the inroads he is making in the black community and particularly with black men.
Whitlock said it is a "facade" that black men do not have anything in common with the president. The sportswriter also said that the mentality of black men is not that "inconsistent" with Donald Trump and implored people to listen to hip-hop.
"When you go evaluate the record, not the personality -- I get it," Whitlock said. "He doesn't act presidential and I get why that's off-putting to people. But when you go evaluate the policy, it says like, holy cow, this guy is not only a man of his word, look at the money directed from the federal government toward HBCUs. This deal he negotiated with Ice Cube about the Platinum Plan, he may actually follow through on it and I just think that rings true and compelling to a lot of black men."
