Harriet Tubman escaped slavery only to go back into slave states hundreds of times to free slaves through traveling along the Underground Railroad. She refrained from taking pictures, so there are only a few images of her (that we assume the ones we have are of her). She slept every night with a gun in her hand. She could not read or write. There is an infamous picture of her sleeping with her gun under a Wanted Poster for her arrest. She upheld the true mission of America living up to the standard of the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator will certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
With every slave that followed the North Star under her direction, a slave was never caught and plunged back in slavery. The Declaration of Independence was finally being realized in these individual lives.
Whenever there was a slave who became scared, Tubman took no chances; she shot the slave because her skinfolk was not her kinfolk.
Dear Omarosa, you have made a choice to deviate from the path of African Americans having full freedom and full improvement and empowerment in their physical, emotional, and economic well being. We can accept you moving from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. We accept that you fundraised heavily with Hillary Clinton and now fundraising for the Republican Party.
But, we cannot accept them and we cannot accept now that you made a clear decision to become a Donald Trump supporter. You made the decision to side with someone, in your words, were racial and not racist. Please, explain the difference. Better yet, we don’t care about the difference because racial or racist equates to demonizing African Americans, and for that, we don’t accept you Omarosa.
Donald Trump has been sued and found guilty of Housing Discrimination. He has spent over eight years describing how Obama was not born in America. And, you expect us to overlook those facts when you supported Donald Trump? You, ma’am, thought wrong.
Where were you when you were the only black person in the White House? Where were you when the HBCU presidents came there to ask for their funding to be increased when Trump later proposed stripping their funding because he felt it was unconstitutional for the HBCUs to even exist? Where were you when the white nationalist movement marched Charlottesville, Virginia and you went on Fox News Network and defended Trump’s response to their being good people on both sides? Where were you when Trump nominated Federal Prosecutors and Judges and not one of them was a black woman and there is one black male? Where were you when you see 16 women accusing Trump of sexual assault? Where were you when he insinuated a US Congressional leader would prostitute herself for a donation?
I really can go on and on, but at the end of the day, you were non-existent.
You said and did nothing. I still don’t know what you did for your $170K/year job. What was your job description?
Now that you were fired, not resigned, fired. In government, they do not just fire, they actually tell you to submit a resignation letter and sign it. Or, they will write the resignation letter and have you sign it. It is to help you save face, so you will not have the embarrassment of being fired. Yet, you want to further embarrass yourself doing a public relation tour to explain how you resigned and not fired.
Stop it. You were fired. We know it. You know it.
During your public relation tour, you stated that you saw things that hurt your people. What are people you speaking about? Is that Black people? No, you abandoned us, and like Harriet Tubman, we cannot look back and save you now. Blacks are a very forgiving people, but in the era of Donald Trump, you have selected a side, and you can stick with your side. Even Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stood out against Donald Trump and she is still not fully accepted by Black America. Why would you think that you would be accepted by “your people” when you didn’t fight for us just a few weeks ago when you sided with Trump as he was campaigning and tweeting for Roy Moore?
Therefore, we wish you well with your people, Donald Trump Republicans.
