Harvey Hurt By Trump Backlash
Steve Harvey is feeling the backlash after his meeting with president elect Donald Trump. He explained,
On a personal note, a lot of y’all hurt me. I didn’t expect the backlash to be so fierce. I also understand if I’m going to keep getting stabbed at, at least while you’re stabbing me, you should understand my intent. I’m from the hood. I’ve been putting in the work for years. I care about these inner cities because that’s where I’m from.
The TV host and comedian also says that President Obama’s final farewell address inspired him to meet with Trump.
The only way we can heal the divide in this country is through conversation. When I listened to President Obama’s final speech in Chicago one of the things that stuck in my mind was when he told people to get out from behind our computers and get involved. I took that to mean, get from behind the microphone.
As previously reported, last Friday, Harvey met with Trump at his Manhattan headquarters, where they discussed inner-city housing issues. At the time, he stated about the meeting,
It’s not my jump into politics, I ain’t going to pass a background check. It’s just me following orders from my friend, President Obama who encouraged citizens to get organized and take action.
Harvey said that Trump made an introduction to Ben Carson, Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Harvey added,
He said he wanted to do something. It’s an honor to be invited to talk. I really enjoyed the conversation.
See the clip.
Harvey also posted a message on social media about his meeting.

Steve I’m sorry if you’re hurt so was I when I seen you standing there with that snake…..The very day he went after Mr. Lewis without even know who he was or just didn’t care….I’m going to go with he didn’t know anything about Mr. Lewis and who the heck he was talking about. He just thought he was another black man and throw lies and the air and was hoping he was right. This is a man has shown us time and time again truth and honest is not in him. But he knows you because you have 70% black following and he used you……The word tells us that you will follow false leader and be charmed by cunning tongue……You were charmed by a snake and won’t know it until it bites you…….Sorry to see you go……IJS
Exactly!!!
Steve Harvey destroyed years of work with one meeting. The man is an idiot.
Sorry, Steve have been around too long for his work to be destroyed. And he’s far from being an “Idiot”. Steve did what many of us would like to do. He had the chance to meet Trump to let him know what he want. That spoke for many of us that will be unable to as Trump for what we want. And let’s face it, we can’t keep debated over Trump for the next 4 years. So we need to see what he going to do. Don’t get me wrong, not a Trump fan…….Steve Harvey will always be respected in my book.
Cmon bruh…..92% of AA voted against this man for his incompetence, his utter lack of respect for the first AA President and you had no idea there would be backlash…..STOP IT
Harvey doesn’t need to apologize or explain anything. He followed his heart and that’s all that’s necessary. If he didn’t do anything at all he would still be criticized.
Well we followed our heart and showed our disdain for his meeting with Trump. Steve is/has always been an opportunist and only attempted to carry favor with white people. Let’s keep it real his only mistake is he truly wasn’t aware of this kind of backlash he would get. Trump played him used him for a photo op. And now go back to twitter against Mr. Lewis civil rights leader.
Lewis WHO?
I don’t like Steve and haven’t since he did his wife dirty so he could marry his side chick Marjorie. Having said that, doesn’t Trump sort of own him? I mean the Ms. Universe Pagent? He act ‘s like when Massa says jump he has to say how high.
Steve just understand trump is a snake oil salesman who will use anyone. just concerned he is hiring his millionaire and billionaire friends, all white, but wants blacks to take pictures with him. trump has spent 8 years disrespecting blacks and continues to do so. evidently you, jim brown, ray lewis, kanye, ben carson & omarosa have not changed his views.
STEVE HARVEY did the right thing. Period. Let us just remember who he is and has shown himself to be. Period
ASS
Howard, you shouldn’t talk about yourself like that.
@nate you sir are an ass too
Thanks Nate
Lol…good answer….good answer lol
Really!!! This forum is for your opinion on the given article. Not to call someone out of their name.
Harvey is from the inner city but he in is clearly out of touch with the inner city. He is so selfish he mentions how hurt he is instead of apologizing to the people this meeting hurt and insulted. Obama gave 8 years of inspirational messages. I am not buying Harvey’s sudden rush of activism.
Notice he never apologized bc he isn’t sorry. Trump used him for a photo op, got him to make it seem as if their best buds, and sent him on his merry way to get an add whooping from his followers. Personally, ONLY person I follow is GOD. Ppl treat this man AS IF he is God. When ppl criticize him, his followers always back him up and say “everybody makes mistakes and at least he learned from them”. That’s the thing about MY God…he don’t make NO mistakes! Ppl need to get a life and quit defending him and pick up a bible and read about the person you SHOULD be following. Cuz in the end, Steve Harvey ain’t gonna do squat for any of them…well,except take their money.
Black America is incredibly dumb, ignorant and uninformed. It is rife with incessant whining from people who are absolutely clueless about the body politic. If the intellectual midgets on this board and across the country had just one iota of common ‘sense’, they’d spend it. Go Steve Harvey!!!
So… are you not black and American? Well, whatever you are, you certainly are a pompous prig! “Intellectual midgets”, indeed!!
Steve Harvey knows Trump and his father were kings of racial housing discrimination for decades – AND years of disrespecting Pres. Obama with the birther lies. Steve Harvey is simply another opportunist – looking for another paycheck at the expense of the Black population
