‘No one likes you’: Black reporters livid after Omarosa invited to their conference

Trump aide and former reality TV show villain Omarosa Manigault was invited to talk about police brutality at the National Association of Black Journalists conference — and many attendees are fuming about it.

The New York Post reports that the last-minute decision to make Manigault a panel guest has created chaos, as many black reporters don’t want her attending what is supposed to be a serious conference.

“The majority there don’t want her involved,” one source told the Post. “It’s heavy drama — even the moderator is refusing. Everyone sees it as extremely offensive.”

The New Yorker’s Jelani Cobb pulled out from the panel, which she said was not well organized to begin with, even before Manigault was added to the mix.

And journalist April Ryan told the Post that she didn’t want someone who tried to ruin her career attending a conference for black journalists.

“When you try to kill me and my career because you want to advance yourself, because you are now making money after not making money from selling cellphones, and now you’re making $180,000 a year, good for you,” she said. “But you know what? Karma comes back. And I told her, ‘The sad thing about it is: No one likes you.'”

I love April. She is really the reason I watch the daily briefings, cause she will go toe to toe with them and I love it. When she not there, I be like "to hell with this!"

Jelani Cobb is a man, whoever wrote the article is doing sloppy work.

He now teaches at Columbia University.

I love me some April Ryan. She puts these crazies in their places. After Auntie Maxine, she is the most important woman in Washington to me.

We have Auntie Maxine and Miss April, that's some serious representation, and thank God for them.

Omanosa (typo and it stays) is gonna ride her tap dance as far as she can, bc outside of Ben Carson (is he still alive, or just asleep somewhere?) and Diamond & Silk--and their beleaguered, unfortunate weaves, there's no where in the country where she'll be taken seriously. She shot herself in the foot, that demon can be all the way gone.

WTF is Omarosa's job anyway? Is token an official title? She can't have sh!t to do. She just threw a baby shower for a former apprentice show contestant. It seems the only thing she does is pop up at black events or when a black person is mentioned.

She's playing a very short game. She's one of the only people who's been associated with Trump for a long time w/ no financial gain from it - unless you count her access to celebrities eventually leading her to inherit the estate of Michael Duncan. She's in her 40s and the financial docs she filed showed no assets besides her interest in the trust he left & she still had over 50k in student loans.

Omarosa needs to go jaw with her fellow prosperity preachers and leave the journalists alone.

And I'm convinced her and Trump rode the sheets. Especially with that dumb ass dating show he had created for her.

She looked everyone in the eye and swore another Apprentice contestant called her *****. Even after the tapes proved it was a lie.

Go after racists with fire, but don't try to ruin somebody's life because you want to tell a good story.

Get tired of grown ass folks saying terms like "pot calling the kettle black" and "picnic" are racist.

Educate yourself and if you want to see what your true enemies are up to surf the net. But you hear something that doesn't sit right with you, Google it. Etymology is your friend.

Every black journalist knows that Omarosa would have her ears pricked up, trying to get dirt on them to get attention and ruin their reputation.

Shove your and Trump's "enemies list" up your ass Omarosa.

whats the history between april and omarosa?

They used to be good friends. Omarosa even asked April to be in her wedding.

When Omarosa joined Trump's campaign April said she changed a lot and April tried to reason with her about how bad it looked that she was associated with Trump and his racist team, but Omarosa didn't care because she was finally making some money (April says she had been selling cell phones). So April began to distance herself and turned down the invite to be in the wedding.

Things got very tense between them and they got into a really bad argument at a public event and April almost dragged Omarosa (literally) in front of everyone. Omarosa then made up a lie that April had been actively helping the Clinton campaign, which would have been an ethics violation for April as a journalist and could have ended her career (like what happened to Donna Brazille).

She tells the whole story in Angela Rye's podcast. Download it on your phone and listen. It was very entertaining.

The ugly specter of tribalism rears it's head once again. Only in black America is someone thoroughly "condemned" for their political ideology, which is a personal belief. smh

Her presence is going to drag the conversation way down. She's going to get into it with folks, and they're going to get into it with her.

This is pure fiction. LMAO. Just off the top of my head... Have you not seen the complete dragging LGBT folks have put on Caitlyn Jenner?

A quick google turns up this: "Dolores Huerta, an influential labor leader and civil rights activist, called Cruz and Rubio “sellouts” and “traitors” at the gathering and said the Hispanic candidates “are turning their backs on the Latino community.”"

Liberal Hispanic activists assail Rubio, Cruz as ‘traitors’ to their culture

In short - it happens all over.

Omarosa also tried to intimidate April Ryan at a press event, claiming she had a "dossier" full of negative info on her. Omarosa denied she ever did that and provided an apparently edited audio tape full of drowned out inaudible conversation to prove it.

Not sure about y'all but I think I'll take the words of a seasoned Washington journalist who - as one of the few black women in her position - surely values her credibility and reputation like gold, over the words of a reality show villain, career snake, and shameless token sell out for a white nationalist agenda Omarosa.

Omarosa just doing what you'd expect from a sell out, using her privileged position to tear down the next black woman.

Who the fµck is running these damn black associations anyway and why do they keep inviting these Trump people despite the (obvious) resentment of their own members? The NAACP, the HBCU, the NABJ. Are all these groups ran by self-hating sell outs? Are they forced to do this cus they're all friendly, inclusive, establishment black organization that accept white donation and executive membership? This is why I keep saying you can never have a truly strong or effective black movement if you choose to be inclusive of whites. The money might keep you afloat for centuries, but what's the point if you're beholden to whites with their own agendas?

EXACTLY. I would love to know the rationale. And I don't want to hear that "open a dialogue" mess when we know that Omarosa is only there for self-promotion, shade, and fuckery.
