TV host Steve Harvey is trying to make America’s inner-cities great with the help of Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson — but the comedian is receiving push back for a ridiculous reason.
Harvey’s involvement with HUD may seem odd at first, but the pairing was a result of one of the early days of Trump’s transition efforts. Those days at Trump Tower saw several celebrities and big-name celebrities coming through the revolving doors hoping to get the president elect’s ear.
While many — including Kanye West — managed to make a connection with the president, few moved forward with any roles with the administration.
But Harvey did. And, of course, the backlash was immediate. Despite his noble efforts to elevate many in the black community, some people didn’t like the fact that he dared to team up with Trump at all.
See what Harvey said about the reaction on the next page:
that a start by elevating those in the community…to be better than what people think they are..let’s change the 14% of the population and 90% of the crime…let the community build hero of military service members and not drug deals and pimps…
Keep up the good work Steve!
Steve Harvey is a successful honest man that’s why others don’t like him! And you know who I mean when I say others!
2 great men love to see them someday as president
Steve has the character to stand up for what is right.
” He aint no real black man. He sold out to the man. We want inner cities to keep being on welfare so we don’t have to get off our butts and get a job.” This is many of the black and leftest view of Steve. I think what he is doing is great. Keep it up.
