A Post By My Daughter

Steve Harvey,
From the time I first met you, I admired you. I always enjoyed every movie you were in, watching you on Family Feud while away at college, looking up YouTube videos of you and all of that. You seemed so big in my eyes! It was so cool to know that my dad knew you and you knew my dad. Now, I am extremely disappointed in you and wondering what you're thinking. Was meeting with Trump a personal victory or were you really there fighting for our people? I can't help but to think you were there for the latter because there is no way you could walk away from that meeting and report back to us that you found him "congenial and sincere" and that you would "sit with him anytime." I don't understand. You would sit with a man who has spewed racist and hate filled language to everyone who is considered "different" or not white? You would sit with someone who has some of the most divisive an adversarial language in the 21st century? You would sit with a man who brags about grabbing women by their private parts? You have daughters and you have a wife, who just the other day posted Meryl Streep on her IG and remarked on how inspired she was by her speech at the Golden Globes (which had a lot to do with Trump). I am not mad that you met with the man. I am just mad that in your IG report back to us you stated "Trump wants to help with the situations in the inner cities so he immediately got Dr. Ben Carson." PAUSE. Trump picked a man whose only relation to the inner city is that he once lived there and like a lot of people in the inner city he is Black. He isn't qualified. If Trump were really concerned about the inner city he would've gotten someone who is capable and well versed in Urban Housing issues to really address and rectify the situation. Dr. Ben Carson has showed that he has no interest in really helping his people with the moves he has made and with every ignorant thing that comes out of his mouth. Come on Steve you fell for the okie doke? I thought you were better than that. Why not come out of that meeting and tell us you challenged him on his selection for Housing and Urban Development Director? Why not come out of that meeting telling us you challenged him about his reprehensible comments about women because you are a father, a husband and a man that has a fan base of millions of women? Why not come out of that meeting telling us you challenged him about his comments on Stop and Frisk? Why not come out of that meeting saying you challenged him on his pick for Attorney General? Why not come out of that meeting telling us you challenged him on saying Black people have nothing to lose? Why not come out of that meeting telling us all of that before you mention he is "congenial and sincere?" I am not falling for it Steve. And for the TRUMP TEAM who thinks that they can pick every Black Entertainer that we love so much to go meet with Trump and come back saying its okay, you're showing your "conservative racism." Black people aren't a monolith. We don't all believe the same things and even more so, we aren't STUPID. Just because we love their art doesn't always mean we will love their heart. Oh and Steve, I know this man isn't sincere. He just attacked one of our foremost leaders in the Civil Rights movement today. Also Steve, I have a strong feeling that you know you punked out because you turned off your IG comments under the post you made about Trump. I know you know that you disappointed your people and your fan base. So you can stop with the BS.
Sincerely,
Abeni Haynes

We don't know what really happened in that meeting. Just like Trump is cunning. Who knows what Steve Harvey have up his sleeve. Yes I would go sit with him too. So I can do what I need to do for my people. Our people that were slaves. Still said yes sir and freed a lot of our people. Now how can we do that. By making them think I am on your side. But I letting someone know what we have to do to get ahead. How can we know what is going on in the WHITE house if we don't have someone that is willing to sacrifice his career for his people. We don't know. Let us wait and see the transition is not over yet. Let's look at the other side of it. If I was Steve Harvey. I would have done the same thing.

Mr Harvey Trump showed you just what he thought of you when he but you on the phone to speak with Ben Carson... not important enough to speak with his other cabinet picks the white cuts, no just you and the other uncle Tom.

Jay (Que)

1/15/2017 05:03:45 pm

@Vondria. The huge concern is when SH asserted that he was "congenial and sincere" and that he would "sit with him anytime." Vondria, how can any person asserted that he is congenial and sincere after all the degrading things that he concluded during the general election about blacks and women? Where you paying attention during the general election, Vondria?

My Precious Child......Thank You and Thank You. You said everything I thought and continue to think. Why do we sell ourselves short by blind sighted moments. tronald dump and all of his dumpettes "don't bit mo'" care about anyone else but themselves. And the worse part is Steve Harvey sold his soul to the devil. the "Massa" just picked him his HOUSE N*€€£} to do his bidding for him.

This is and opportunity GOD has put him in ..Just wait and see he don't owe us anything how many of u all heard him talking about what happened...Find out first before you start putting this man down ..Some good can come out of this...

You're joking right? A presidential run? I know with Trump's election the bar has been set EXTREMELY low but Steve - he can't even read from a script!

We need to get away from the mentality that just because entertainers make a lot of money that they are qualified for anything.

Thank you for that heartfelt letter. I am extremely disappointed in Steve Harvey. I feel like he's just another person that can be bought for the right price. Which is shameful. I have heard him publicly denounce Trump on his show so now to turn around and embrace him is not only degrading to black people but to all women as well. Maybe he had two faces all along and hid them behind his nice suits to cover up his insincerity. Well guess what Steve you are standing in front of your people naked and unashamed because your true character has spoken and your words aren't pretty.

Mary Lewis

1/16/2017 01:35:44 pm

Very well stated. We as a people have lived long enough to know how they will come into our community, pick off one who they either feel as though they have influence or, they have the ability to make us feel as though they have vested influence into that person to see what is happening. As Joan Watson always used to say "wake up people". We must keep our eyes on the prize and protect and educate our children.

Great job Abeni Jewel!! Your generation must open the eyes of mine and not be willing do anything to "be at the table"!
I think Steve tried to cover up his actions by saying "BOTH transition teams" asked him to meet with Trump! Until Obama's team validates that statement ...nope not going to believe it!
FYI...I'm sure Daddy J is very proud!!

Lydia Perry

1/14/2017 05:11:52 pm

Yes, young lady, so on point for your addressing each concern, relating to what could possibly authenticate any of our visibly, and very vocal African American leaderships, to come from meeting with a "congenial and sincere" Donald Trump. What could their conversation have been about, in which Steve Harvey could have seen such a drastically different Donald Trump? I would suppose, again, their conversation was totally off base from what Donald Trump's typical rhetoric of conversation has been about, in order that someone I once considered as very committed and supportive of the betterment within our African American community~Donald Trump has not given most conscious brothers and sisters, any such idea that he is concerned about what is best for us, or, for other communities in need of empowerment and uplift. So interested to know what their topic of conversation could have been......perhaps, it was one of a business venture capital that may have kept both of their attention.

Hi Lady A.Haynes always respectfully. My personal belief is Steve Harvey spoke to Trump out of compassion for the transition that will take place.

Amen! You are so right. I was truly disappointed in Steve Harvey's comments considering how much he criticized Trump during the campaigning. As an African American with 3 beautiful daughters and a phenomenal wife there is no way a sexual predator like The President Elect should be considered worth meeting with to discuss anything except an apology to the world.

Finally, thank you young lady for saying exactly what I am thinking. While I am 60 years old, I've been a Steve Harvey fan for years. All of your points were on target. I personally thin Ben Carson is a milksop of a politician, however much of a man he might be. Thank you again and be well. Be blessed.

Abeni Haynes, what a heartfelt & sincere response to the negative, disrespectful & shameful excuse of an African-American male Steve Harvey presented himself. As you know the word of God says "what does it profit a man to gain the while world lose his soul". Unfortunately, we have several in our communities. Steve Harvey lost the heart & soul of Many African-Americans. So proud of your Voice you raised that we All can be very proud of. We're so proud of Dr. Freddie Haynes & 1st Lady Haynes for their wisdom & intellect instilled within you. Blessings

Lareeta

1/15/2017 12:31:44 am

Very well said. Thank you for covering it all. I just came around to liking Steve because I had heard so many negative things about him; however, because of his shows (Family Feud, Steve Harvey Show, the children's talent show)and his mentoring camp, and even when he would cry over family issues, he won me over. I just looked at a picture of him and Marjorie taken with the President and First Lady and now he wants to use the excuse that he's following the President's orders of doing something. Why didn't he get a group together and meet with him to address inner city problems? Of course, he'll try to set everybody straight on one of his shows, but too little too late. I now see/look at him in a different light.

KUDOS 2 U SWEETHEART!!! No matter what path u take n life, ur letter to steve harvey truly exemplifies standing n ur truth!!! steve has for a while been undercover selling his soul & out of desperation he continues to do so openly. The move was self serving to keep he/wifie among the political elites, since the Obama last days are near. His timing is obvious & it's not to crusade for his fellow BLACK PEOPLE!!! Our quest for equality n every sense of the word, how has he used his platform?!?!?!?! I refuse to use capital letters n trump, steve & a few others name; one of my statements!!!
MAY U ALWAYS STAND FOR SOMETHING & NOT FALL FOR ANYTHING WITH GOD'S LOVE & MANY CONTINUED BLESSINGS!!!

Thank you young lady for calling it like you see it. I dont admire Mr. Harvey....honestly he is no different than Donald Trump...he has disrespected women just as much...maybe not the same way but disrespect is disrespect. He could have declined the meeting....he could have met with black leadership long ago to work in the inner cities.....hmmmm.

You said exactly what was on my mind. Steve Harvey has set high standards for how a man should treat women. He has written book, create moves on relationships, people go to him for advice on life. But then this. He has to be Real with himself, and others. You don't hang around those that will not help you move forward. Yes, helping the community is awesome work, but be careful of those you hang around with while trying to help the community. They always have there own agenda, and he could loose his career dealing with him. I only pray that Mr. Harvey will keep his eyes wide open, and trust nothing/no one. Because he can loose everything he's been working so hard for. (Just because of association).

Amazing piece........... Additionally I hope he was there for the right reasons and not a check. As much influence as Steve as acured, you would think he and other influentials could make a difference on their own, without the cameras two most discerning people on the planet (Trump and Carson). Minus two cool points for Steve Harvey

Let's not jump to conclusion about what is going on behind the scenes. It looks like Donald Trump is trying to redeem himself by associating with those who look like us in order to win us over. It's good that we have a platform to say what we want about what we see. Some things are not as They appear to be. I'm giving Steve Harvey and anyone who looks like us the benefit of the doubt until proven guilty of selling out.

Bravo young Ms. Haynes for standing up for what you believe. I believe that if you don't stand for sometime you'll fall for anything. Steve Harvey wanted to be seen as one of the black folk that were called in by Trump like it gave him credibility. Why do our folk need to be validated by the likes of Trump. He's using our people with influence and a large fan base to come to us and say he's a good man he's sincere. Yell he was sincere when he used prejudice against us to help him win this election, and all of the aforementioned dishonorable things that he's said and done during the primaries and the election. I lose respect for those of us that feel lead to give ear to more of his lies. What could he possible say to us that we should care about hearing. Any black man that feels honored or obligated to hear him out...why. What room were you in when he traveled from state to state city to city insiteing violence against our people during his conventions. Having our people beating and thrown out of his rallies for simple being black. No, there's nothing that my heart needs to hear from Trump other than he went to God with a repented heart and wants to try to right all of the injustices that he commuted. Until then Steve Harvey, no ex ball player no irrevelant rapper no one can persuade me that he's anything but what he showed us.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! It will be interesting to see how/if Steve handles this. I won't know because I've decided NOT to listen to his radio show, I've decided NOT to watch his talk show and I NEVER purchased his books. But yall get the idea...I will end this by quoting DL Hughley, "I will never forget what he said, I will never forget how he denigrated President Obama and his family,. Fuck you now, fuck your forever!"

I am a widow, mother, grand and great grandmother, I could not stated your views better. I am also an African American and I am very well pleased with you young lady. Be blessed. I got sick when I heard Steve's reasoning for the meeting it made no sense to me.

This is the best response that I have read about the Harvey/Ump meeting. Well stated young lady. I'm a long handle spoon with SH now my respect for him is much lower. Not for meeting with him, but for the statement after the meeting. Looks to be another fool in the back ground trying to make us believe gives a DAMN about anyone of color - period!

Jan Brown

1/15/2017 05:30:58 pm

Well written and the last statement represents my views. BS! Steve Harvey even you could not tell it with a straight face. You sold out for a few coins, I am so through with you and so are many others. You forgot where you came from, and that Black folks have long memories and even you should know the others turn on a dime.

When Donald Trump said right Steve the impression on his face said "r you talking to me". Then he explained what the meeting was about as politically correct as he could. We all have been caught off guard and Steve was caught off guard. His mouth said one thing but his eyes told the truth. I beleive He was trying to not say anything bad in front off the camera. D.L. Hughley was the complete opposite. He kept it so real he was raw. DL needed a little Steve to be not so raw and Steve needed much of DL by keeping it real. God Bless us all.

While most often times people presume the worst, I totally understand the frustration at best. However, based on an intelligent response from Steve Harvey concerning the meeting he's know being called all kind of improper names. Yes, if I was thinking within confinement I too would be irritated by his remarks. Not watching any of his shows or supporting him in any facet doesn't stop who he is. I'm glad he's been put into position to be the adversary. Positioning yourself is very important whether you're in the spotlight or no light it makes a huge difference. We face politics everyday in some shape form or fashion. How you deal with what your faced with makes all difference. His expression and deep breaths were indicative of having to take "what's happening now" and grow through it. You have to be really "strong and courageous" to make a move such as this. While you may feel a certain type of way, I'll tread in the middle until I see differently. I understand fall guys mentality. Appearances........

Well Ms. HAYNES WELL VERSED Like everyone is intitled to their own opinion i
I I FEEL YOU. Also as stated by many, why would Mr. Harvey meet with him. . As someone else stated WHO make Mr.Harvey an expert on people. ( just because you've been thru it doesn't make you an expert. ). I wonder how Mr. Harvey would feel if trump grooped one of his children or wife? I also wonder how Mr. HARVEY would FEEL IF WE STOP SUPPORTING his MONEY TRAIN EVERY DAY AND HIS RATING FALL UNDER THE FLOOR BOARDS. Would trump continue wanting to converse with him then.

I often question his views, although he's entertaining he has seem to forgotten even the very statements he's made about trump. Hope he's done some smart saving, I will no longer listen to, nor will I watch anything he's on. While even those of trumps own ethnic persuasion are distancing themselves from him why would he even consider this, it's beyond me. Big MISTAKE!

Barbara Hampton

1/17/2017 01:30:48 pm

Very well put. I am proud of you for carrying this message to and about Steve, And yes, he will get the backlash he deserves. I am so disappointed because he represents us. Now Trump thinks he has found someone as STUPID as him?

Well said, Ms. Haynes. Most people your age would not have spoke out. Well, age ain't got noting to do with it. You are just like your father in which I had the pleasure of meeting him (again) at my old church in Little Rock, Ar. Steve needed to be put in his place. Thank you, Sista for checking and re checking Steve Harvey. The King of Comedy has now become the King of Jokesters. Again, thank you Ms. Abeni.
