DL Hughely is not here for the black celebrities that he claims Donald Trump is using as a front to make it look like he cares about black people.
Kanye West, Ray Lewis, Jim Brown and Steve Harvey have all been seen publicly with the president-elect, supposedly meeting with him to discuss ways to benefit the black community. But Hughely isn’t fooled in the least.

“It amazes me that to convince Black people that Donald Trump cares about them, he takes pictures with celebrities,” he said in a video he posted on social media. “If Donald Trump cared about Black people, he would not have denigrated the President with those claims of ‘birtherism.’ He would not have stoked fears and racist fears, saying that this man is less than, or not one of us to become President.”
“You know why you have a comedian, rapper and football player out to talk about the concerns of the community,” he later added. “Because that’s the positions you’re used to seeing us in. You’d rather have Black people as comedians, football players and rappers than the President. You’d rather see us run the ball than run the country. ”
“F*ck you now and f*ck you forever.”
