Some are ‘putting more poison into the black community than any drug dealer’

At a roundtable Wednesday at the White House on race relations, a black leader addressed his remarks to media, accusing them of lying about Trump’s accomplishents for blacks.

“I wish they would quit lying about what you’ve done, specifically for the black community,” said Jackson, the president and CEO of Raynard Jackson & Associates, a lobbying firm based in the nation’s capital.

He referred to “liberal, radical journalists” such as MSNBC’s Joy Reid, CNN’s Don Lemon and Roland Martin.

Jackson said they’re “putting more poison into the black community than any drug dealer.”

He accused them of “spreading lies” about the economy, such as claiming the boom prior to the coronavirus lockdowns was a continuation of Barack Obama’s policies

“I have a degree in accounting,” said Jackson, who hosts an internet-based radio show on the U.S. Talk Network. “I keep up with the economy. They’re lying.”

Jackson asked Reid, Lemon and Martin why they’re afraid to have black Republicans on their shows “who know what they hell they’re talking about.”

Trump touted his success on issues important to the black community such as criminal justice and prison reform, and opportunity zones for business. He frequently has pointed to the lowest unemployment rate and job growth ever recorded for blacks, prior to the coronavirus shutdown, along with record support of historically black colleges and education-choice initiatives.

Ben Carson, the secretary of Housing and Human Development, said they were there to talk about “some of the concerns in the black community” in the wake of the death of George Floyd “that have risen to the point that people all around the world are making their voices heard.”

“This is an opportune time to do something about it,” Carson said, “because this administration already has established a record of solving problems — problems that people have just talked about for many years.”
