Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 For years, the media refused to call Trump out for his racist comments and behavior. Too many still can’t differentiate between racial undertones and blatant racism.

#2 With Trump as president, the cable news networks began to see huge increases in viewership. However, these audiences were largely composed of older, white men.

#3 Broadcast news was pulling out all the stops to attract viewers. The Breaking News banner became a permanent fixture on television screens, and viewers soon realized it was there simply to attract and hold their attention.

#4 The cable news networks were desperate for black faces, so they hired Angela Rye to represent conservative black viewers. She was a dear friend, but many in the black community found her brash delivery to be off-putting.

The argument can be made that Black voters, particularly younger Black voters, saw someone who not only looked like them but also spoke their thoughts, and they tuned in.

#6

I had been on my own since I was sixteen years old. I had been expelled from the nurturing environment of a historically Black college. I was starving, and I was determined to succeed.
