00:00Omarosa is out here in these streets repping her homeboy Donald as the director of Trump's
00:07African-American outreach. In a recent interview with MSNBC, she said she was proud to serve in
00:12the role. However, after her hiring, Spike Lee took to his Instagram to throw some major shade.
00:18Spike posted this photo with the caption,
00:20Pick is like this because I'm looking at her sideways. Hashtag who's next? Step it and fetch it.
00:26Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, sleep and eat. Rastus, little n-word gem. Omarosa gonna give out free
00:33Popeye's chicken with sides to deliver the black vote to Trump. Well damn, Spike, tell us how you
00:38really feel. Panelists, we clearly know how he feels, but what are your thoughts on the count of
00:42three? Are you slaying or shading? And what are you slaying or shading? One, two, three. Slade,
00:48Slade. Slade. Okay, Carrie, I'm gonna start with who? Slaying and who are you slaying?
00:53I, I, um, I don't know. I'm on the fence because I don't personally like Omarosa,
00:58but I don't think she's like, I don't think she's the coon that people are making her out to seem
01:02like. I don't think she's Stacey Dash with credentials. You know what I mean? Like Omarosa
01:06spoke out to Fender Shonda Rhimes when the New York Times critic calls her angry black woman.
01:10Omarosa is known to be an angry black woman and she's been speaking out against that and and bucking
01:15against those stereotypes. So while she's not personally my cup of tea, I'd rather he reached
01:19out to her than Stacey Dash or even Ben Carson. Okay, fair enough. Maya? I think she slayed it
01:26because she's about her coin. He is the one who got shaded. If he doesn't know that
01:31no one's listening to Omarosa for their political advice. True. No one's considering Omarosa an expert
01:37on the cultures of the black community and what we need to rise up. She is getting a check,
01:41she's getting her coin and she's getting it from him. Did he not watch his own show?
01:45Did you see what happened with Kwame? Did you see what happened with Kwame? She slayed him and I'm
01:51glad she did. Get your check, girl. I like that perspective. Raise your thoughts birthday boy.
01:56In the beginning, I had my favorite emoji face. I was like,
02:00but then I thought about it. She's famous because of him. So why wouldn't she do it? Like,
02:05what else is she going to do? It's like being mad that Tammy Roman is back on basketball watch.
02:09What else is she going to do? Apparently the options aren't open. So listen,
02:14if she can get a check and be kind of sort of a little relevant again, go ahead. Knock that out.
02:19Now, Kayla, I know our Essence Live audience has something to say. They have so much to say,
02:24so much to say left and right. So Jan Hunter says it's all about the money. D Quinn says she's
02:30selling her soul to the devil. Sonia McComb says Omarosa needed a job, period.
02:35Oh, so everybody's talking about the check, the check, the check. I wonder if she's like promised
02:39like a position should he win. That's what makes me go. He's 14 points behind. I don't think she
02:46expects him to get the position. I hope not.
