Steve Harvey is speaking out on the backlash he faced after meeting with president-elect Donald Trump last week. Earlier this week, during his radio show, Steve said,
“On a personal note, a lot of y’all hurt me. I didn’t expect the backlash to be so fierce. I also understand if I’m going to keep getting stabbed at, at least while you’re stabbing me, you should understand my intent. I’m from the hood. I’ve been putting in the work for years. I care about these inner cities because that’s where I’m from.”
He continued,
“The only way we can heal the divide in this country is through conversation. When I listened to President Obama’s final speech in Chicago one of the things that stuck in my mind was when he told people to get out from behind our computers and get involved. I took that to mean, get from behind the microphone.”
I accept that. Oprah once said, “In anything, you have to ask, what is the intent?” I get where he was coming from, even though is looked f-ed up. 🤷🏿♂️
