Thanks once again, LIza, for posting something REALLY important! I have just posted Joy's Tik Tok on my FB page, and I hope everyone who reads your substack does, too. It's time we stop being quiet on our social media pages and speak out. This is a lovely first step!
I believe I opened the video, then either copied/posted the link to FB or just hit share from my Macbook Pro. Your computer may be different. It probably could also be done on your phone, but I use my laptop. Thanks for asking!
As a 71-year-old white formerly Catholic male, married to a white woman and with white children, I'm not a target for Trump sneakers. All the more so since I happen to be an expert on and voice for Black teenagers and young adults of all body sizes, tastes, and ethnic backgrounds. As such I SWEAR that nobody ridin' with me will ever buy a Trump sneaker. To do so would immediately isolate them in the community as a homeboy of no class or taste whatever, someone who would be laughed off of any balling court, someone determined to never have a date with anyone of any race, gender or species, and whose only selling point is his willingness to give up $400 in exchange for shit, and not the kind that makes you feel good. Any of those high-tops that makes it into any 'hood in any city is going to end up in an old oil drum warming up other people's faces and hands.
Oh my dawg....this is what I had wanted...someone to call the orange man out on this gold sneaker ridiculousness. And this guy from fox saying DT knows how to get the Black vote: create a $399 imitation gold high top sneaker line. Oh my dawg.... It just gets crazier and craizer. But I love love love this woman for putting the spotlight on this. God bless her and keep her. She is my hero...(oh and you, Liza, are too, of course. xoxo) Thanks a bazillion and two gold sneakers for this.
I never watch Fox and maybe that’s why, when I see a clip like that, I can’t even believe I am hearing what comes out of their mouths. So insulting and ignorant! How dare they discuss the “black culture” like they even have a clue?
Oh. My. God. That Fox News video is almost unbelievable in its stupidity and vulgarity, even for Fox. Can't get my jaw back into place. And Joy is ... a joy. I wanted to share the video on FB, but I guess you can't with Tiktok. And don't forget that even with Smirnoff being exposed as a fraud and liar, Comer and Jordan are STILL pursuing the impeachment procedure. UNbelievable.
Looks like the animation has Trumpet describing himself which I like even more. Thanks, Liza, for posting the video of Ms. Reid as it is so very important.
Yes, thank you Ms. Reid, and thank you Liza. I saw a movie tonight called “The Zone of Interest” which I think is very important for this time. The people who most need to see it probably won’t, and might not get the Trump connection, but I’d be interested in what everyone here thinks of it.

Oh! How do you share on FB?

OK, thanks - I've been used to seeing an icon to share on FB, but there wasn't one, so didn't think to just copy/paste
Yes! We need to get loud.

Perhaps he will offer watermelon with each pair of shoes.
Thank you for speaking up.

Isn't Joy Reid fantastic?
She is.
Joy Reid is brilliant!
Liza, you are such a great voice for moral clarity. Can’t tell you what it means to hear what you say - and see what you do.
(did not overlook your question earlier, Liza. Am putting together a serious reply)
Thank you, Patris. I just get so worked up sometimes.
This is a really hard time - not only to live through but to just comprehend. We’re together in this at least - frustrated, fed up, but not alone.

exactly.
Re Black Voters... and so watermelon will win rural black votes?

We are planning on seeing that movie tonight! I hear it is powerful. So many good movies this year.
