INSIDER: Black influencers fire Hollywood celebs 'paid' to back Harris: 'Black vote not for sale'

-

DEI didn't appeal to influencers in the black community as they sounded off on celebrities charging the “democratic establishment” to “shame black people” into supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.

At every turn, the Harris for President campaign has seemed determined to divide voters by their demographics, including “white dudes,” “Karens” and comedians. His appeal to the black community through black celebrities does not sit well with some influencers despite the alleged financial incentives.

A post by Black Guns Matter founder Maj Toure shared a video of Malcolm X as the revolutionary activist denounced efforts to use black celebrities as pawns. “Show me in the white community where a comedian is a white leader. Show me in the white community where a singer is a white leader, or a dancer, or a trumpet player is a white leader. Those are not leaders. These are puppets and clowns that have been created … about the black community by the white community and become celebrities and usually say exactly what they know white men want to hear.”

Toure called out comedians Steve Harvey and DL Hughley, rapper Plies and radio host Rickey Smiley as he captioned the message in part: “…literally still using the same playbook that Malcolm warned us about 60 years ago ! You should be ashamed of yourself if you're still falling.”

In the same way, a video published on the YouTube channel King Kong Consciousness featured psychologist and activist Dr. Umar Rashad Ibn Abdulah-Johnson shouting the $10,000 he had been offered to interview Harris as he said, “I'm not a Rickey Smiley or a Steve Harvey. Don't leave a check and say, 'Bring the blacks to the plantation in November [5th].' The black vote is not for sale.”

“Kamala Harris and the Democratic establishment are paying you celebrities, they're paying you to shame black people into voting. You know we're not going to get anything out of this vote,” he added.

The claim came as the Democratic National Convention kicked off with CNN flatterer about the possibility of Beyoncé and Taylor Swift appearing at the event, as the former had provided her song “Freedom” for the campaign.

Meanwhile, actress Kerry Washington was scheduled to host the final day of the convention, and musician John Legend came to perform at a party, as he told The Hollywood Reporter in a interview Monday that her daughter, “is so excited to see someone black and Asian like her, [and] a woman as she is, so she is looking [Kamala] like 'that's me' up there'.

“For her to see that, of course, it's really inspiring, she's excited and she can't imagine why anyone would vote for Donald Trump, but that's another issue,” she added.

As the DNC's schedule prompted reactions that “Democrats love segregationDuring the demographically divided meetings, Kwame Brown reminded voters that there were alternatives to Harris, even if those with big platforms tried to suggest otherwise.

“How is this guy ranting all the black people, trying to get them to vote for Kamala? Rickey, don't you know we can see it, bro? he told his 'But Life' podcast. “People can vote for Cornel West. You can't say stupid shit, like… 'If you say you're not with Kamala, that means you're with Trump.' Why would you say something like that when other people are.. . on the ballot?”

Elsewhere, black voters in swing states sounding off on his support for former President Donald Trump, as polls continued to show him making inroads, “He'll speak his mind. He'll tell you what it is.”
