Alex Mayers makes it clear that Hawk Newsome of Black Lives Matter does NOT speak for her, her family or many other African Americans. Alex explains that whether Hawk realizes it or not, his claim that “Blacks don’t trust politicians” sounds ill thought because the reality is he’s positioned HIMSELF as a politician (so is he in actuality suggesting the people he claims to represent not trust him?).
From Alex’s perspective Hawk is not much different than white supremacist David Duke – and Alex feels that at this stage but Hawk Newsome and Shaun King should likely look into building a real life “Wakanda” in Haiti since they’re so unhappy in America and don’t like “white” people.
Hawk Newsome does not speak for all Black Americans & Wakanda isn’t real (yet)
