Angela Rye has responded to Sexyy Red‘s public endorsement of Donald Trump by presenting evidence of his past actions, which she reveals were racially discriminatory. Rye is urging Black Americans who back the former president’s 2024 presidential campaign to educate themselves about his track record.
“To Sexyy Red and everyone else who’s found themselves in the camp for ‘Blacks for Trump,’ I would invite you to look into his record,”
Rye said in videos posted on X (fka Twitter).
“I would invite you to look beyond barbershop conversation, people who are just shooting a breeze — or as some people say, shooting the sh*t.”
“If that’s what you’re gonna do, let at least the sh*t be facts. Let it at least be fact-checked,”
she added.
“Let it at least be associated with his actual record. When you look and see what Donald Trump actually accomplished for Black people, are you satisfied with that?”
Rye highlighted a number of instances where Trump has been
“egregious”
towards the Black community. One of these instances was the case of the Central Park Five, who were later exonerated and renamed the Exonerated Five. She also mentioned Trump’s questioning of former president Barack Obama’s citizenship during his presidential campaign.
In 1989, the ex-president took out full-page newspaper ads advocating for the death penalty on five, Black teenage boys after a Central Park jogger was assaulted. Five innocent Black men, Korey Wise, 51; Kevin Richardson, 48; Raymond Santana, 49; Antron McCray, 49; and Yusef Salaam, 49, were wrongly convicted, and later exonerated. In 2019, Trump declined to apologize for his remarks.
“You have people on both sides of that,”
he said, according to The New York Times.
“They admitted their guilt.”
Rye also spoke about
“Birtherism,”
which was enacted during Barack Obama’s run for presidency in 2008, spearheaded by Donald Trump which accused the 44th president of not being a natural-born citizen of the United States. Rye posted a video in response to Sexyy Red’s comments to which she mentioned that black people support Donald Trump on Theo Von’s
“This Past Weekend”
podcast last week.
“Yeah, they support him in the hood… Once he started getting black people out of jail and giving people their free money, oh baby we love Trump. We need to get him back in office.”
