They turned down Kamala Harris because she wanted a virtual panel?
NABJ sold out.
Fuck them.

I'm just personally sorry to see TFG get any free platform whatsoever.
@PeachMcD It disgusts me as 1)A Black woman; 2)a multiracial/multicultural Black woman; and 3)a journalist,though technically I'm a "citizen journalist" and disrespected by NABJ. Thank God I'm not an NABJ member. I would cancel right away thanks to this stunt.
I'll just bet you're angry! Having someone who claims to represent then MIS-respresent is one of the most frustrating experiences for me.
Professional associations, like most institutions, lag HARD when it comes to policy positions (e.g. most Catholics have no problem with gay folk or women priests & my union is run by old ytguyz)
Ima get back in my lane & send Solidarity & 🙏🏼🙏🏼 from Tacoma
I love being represented by a union after 30 years working in kitchens, but 'user experience may vary' 😉
Saw a good thread of people discussing the event afterwards... thought you might be happy to know those journos mighta made this one stick 🙏🏼https://mastodon.social/@benroyce/112882736894124629
@PeachMcD I've taken my shots at this trainwreck today. Most Black folks knew it was going to be bullshit from the very minute the NABJ announced he would be there. We were right. It was bullshit beyond bullshit. He got owned. I would have up and walked out of that venue the minute he walked onstage. I'm still waiting for his ass to show up at Leimert Park on Crenshaw spouting that nonsense.
@IveyJanette
It would be so sweet if his campaign went up in dumpster flames from being pwned by questions from Black folks
Like the psalm sez "let them fall in the pit they have dug" 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@PeachMcD Unfortunately there's some fools in South Central that support this clown. Even though he's a racist. They love his big mouth. His misogyny. And they think he'll give them more "free money". Oh,and the rappers supporting him.
Oh wow
