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:
The welfare state needs to end no more free stuff and no more free citizenship!
Thank you Steve Harvey
Got back on the plantation in a hurry, did he not?

Well Damn people, right is right. Freaking get over it !!!

It is sad Mr. Harvey that you are trying to HELP get the citizens and this country back on track. It seems you are “damned if you do and damned if you don’t.” PLEASE keep working with Dr. Carson, HUD and where every can to improve conditions.
good man Steve Harvey… Keep it up America is behind you..
