Thanks to O'Reilly, HBCU slammed for playing at Inauguration raises almost $400K

[MCWAY]

This is getting patently absurd. Apparently, we have some black celebrities and other numbskulls who think it's their duty to shame other black people for DARING to participate in Trump's inauguration or even talk to Trump.

First, D.L. Hughley has his panties in a wad because his good friend, Steve Harvey, met with Trump (and Dr. Ben Carson) to discuss the plight of black people in urban housing.

Now, Talladega College is getting blasted for performing at the inauguration. This is a small historically black college that doesn't even have a football team (notwithstanding the fact that the bands are more popular than the football squads at HBCUs anyway) and uses its band to make money for the school.

They needed $75,000 to cover expenses but raised only about $6300, as of a week ago. And the school's president has been getting crucified by certain Negroes for DARING to perform for Trump. Of course, the school applied for the chance to do the Inauguration months in advance, before the winner of the election was determined. Now certain butt-hurt black people want the band to drop out since Trump won.

The story caught O'Reilly's eye. And Dr. Billy Hawkins (president of Talladega College) appeared on the Factor. As a result, the school racked up over $368,000 to make the trip and then some. HBCUs need all the help they can get, and since most Hollywood goofies want nothing to do with the festivities, why should they try and cripple this school's ability to get some name recognition.

Personally, I'd rather have the Marching 100 do the Inauguration. But, they did one for Clinton already. Why not spread the wealth?

Same reason Jews would rather starve than take money from White Supremacists.

Take what money from white supremacists? The money is via a GoFundMe site. How do you know that white supremacists gave Talladega College the money?

Therein lies this foolishness. Claiming that Trump and his supporters are white supremacists is the same form of bigotry that those who carry that view claim to abhor.

Plus, the school applied for the gig BEFORE the election even took place. They're not going to drop out, just because Trump won the election.


Some people forget the many of the people who supported Trump voted for Obama twice, as we saw on election day and beyond. Too many Democrats (including and especially black ones) tend to make excuses for their loss, rather than look internally to see what went wrong.

And to bully HBCUs, especially when most of the critics don't attend HBCUs and won't give one thin dime to support them, just makes those folks look pathetic.

Talladega's band is on its way to (if not already in) DC. And, now they got over $600,000 for their program.

[Dos Equis]

Good for them.

They'll be dealt with when they get back

Dealt with HOW?

They asked for this opportunity almost a year ago. Now they're supposed to turn it down, because some butt-hurt black libs are sour about Clinton losing her "inevitable" presidency?

Most likely a fresh piece of poundcake.  They were warned by the community.....hey I don't control black people.  That's just the way shit is.  If they go, then they gotta accept the consequences.

Maybe the community should spend more time investing in HBCUs, instead of blubbering about their bands performing at inaugurations simply because the community backed the wrong horse.

Besides, the "consequences" added up to nearly $700,000.

Black logic, and an example of why most of them will never get anywhere in life.  Ignorant bullies.  Crabs in a bucket.
