No, Omarosa will NOT be getting her Black Card back, Signed The Black Women Yall should be listening to

So, apparently, there is a selection of the Black Delegation that wants to restore Omarosa's Black Card.

Some time ago, the Chicago Tribune shared the column entitled "Omarosa may have earned back her Black Card."

The writer opened her piece (yes, the writer is a woman of color too and I move for the Black delegation to review her own Black Card standings for even saying the following) "C’mon African-Americans, have a heart. Omarosa Manigault Newman desperately wants her black card back. I think we ought to consider giving it to her."

The writer says;

"Omarosa’s card was put in jeopardy when she sashayed onto the stage at a Donald Trump campaign rally in Ohio two years ago and criticized Barack Obama for “trying to sell us hope. 

"Hope won’t fill up the gas tank and hope won’t fill prescriptions," she proclaimed before breaking into a chant of "USA! USA! 

African-Americans collectively snatched her card away when she took a job in Trump’s White House. After that embarrassing photo op she arranged for Trump with the heads of historically black colleges and universities, black people said, "What the heck, she’s a lost cause. We’ll just burn it.""

The writer then goes on to continue listing Omarosa's faults and failings but then shifts into apologetics for Omarosa. How quickly we forget all of the above because the writer follows up with the following; "Omarosa was lost in Trump’s White House. But, just maybe, she really is trying to find her way back home now. What’s wrong with black people giving her a chance?" Continuing on;

"She’s given African-Americans yet another example of what happens every time one of us tries to give Trump a chance. She has forced Trump to reveal on Twitter his downright disdain for African-American women. She has challenged black people not only to think smart but act smart, especially in these troubled times.

Black card or not, Omarosa is still one of ours. She has nowhere else to go."

First and foremost to the author of this foolery...

Venerated auntie Maya Angelou once said, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them." And Omarosa has shown us who she is, an opportunistic scam queen who wants revenge, not redemption. Omarosa is not reaching out because she just so happen to discover Trump was racist. She apparently knew back when they were costars on 'The Apprentice', and that still did not stop her from hitting the campaign trail on his racist behalf, like his good darky.

As far as Omarosa "given African-Americans yet another example of what happens every time one of us tries to give Trump a chance.", did we really even need the lesson? Black people know full well the consequences of going against their own to stand with racists, bigots, and otherwise hateful people. Clarence Thomas is still out here Black Cardless and hasn't been invited to a quality cookout in decades.

And about that "She has forced Trump to reveal on Twitter his downright disdain for African-American women." We already knew Trump despised Black people who stand against him, particularly Black Women. We already saw that in the treatment of Jemele Hill and Rep. Maxine Waters. And while I appreciate that she is putting the 45th President into a social media spiral (and how entertaining that is) and that she may or may not have tapes, video, and blood samples or whatever else incriminating him of whatever and what-have-you, that doesn't mean that she wasn't the "black friend" who helped him get elected in the first place.

As far as Omarosa challenging "black people not only to think smart but act smart, especially in these troubled times.", are you kidding me, writer? Omarosa's brand of "think smart but act smart" got her embroiled in the Trump cesspool White House, to begin with. That brand of "think smart but act smart" would have Black people turning on their own, only to attempt to return to when deemed convenient. But Black people are not Omarosa's 7-11 or Wawa, we refuse to be there for her when she wants a snack or needs a cup of coffee or to play the numbers. She is tugging on the door and it is locked with a sign that says "Closed for Traitors".

Think about this; would we even be hearing from Omarosa was she not fired? Face facts: Omarosa does not care about Black People. She wants to leverage a community already angry at Trump against him so that her own vengeance can be enacted. Period.

And unfortunately for her, I and a slew of other Black People refused to be used the same way she was used by 45. We see right through the press tour, the book, the tapes, and video down to a heart that was never with us, that never cared for us, that never stood for us. Omarosa is Black in skin tone only, one Zora Neale Hurston would have called "skin folk, not kin folk." and we see past all of that melanin to a traitor who should never be received back to the community she was an active part of destroying.

The fact that Omarosa has "nowhere else to go" is none of my business and not my damn problem.

She made this bed, now she has to sleep in it. Period.

Let Omarosa's cultural shunning stand as a lesson to all of those who would stand against their own culture and their own kind; if you side with the devil, don't be surprised when you get burned.

Black. Card. Revoked.
