Tavis Smiley quits the Tom Joyner Show!
Tom Joyner, of the Tom Joyner Morning Show, said today on his blog:
Well, you did it. This isn’t the way you wanted it to happen, but it happened anyway. Just like I knew it would.
I got a call from Tavis on yesterday. And he told me he was quitting the show. He told me the reason was that he was tired and has a lot of things going on, and he feels that now is a good time to leave the show.
We all know that isn’t the real reason he’s leaving the show. The real reason is that he can’t take the hate he’s been getting regarding the Barack issue — hate from the black people that he loves so much. He needed to feel the love. We all do, whether it’s from our radio audience or from people we know personally. He wasn’t feeling any love, so he quit.
I am not surprised that this happened with Tavis, anytime you are looked up to and you see someone come along like Barak…how can you not be proud.
He was in a position to show some love…but didn’t!
It seems that some were right, Barak didn’t have to come to Tavis’ conference to validate himself to black folk. It shows you how God can bless you to a higher place and if you don’t look back or criticize another blessed one…God can take his eye off of you for a second and you will fall.
Shame on Tavis… like grandmama says, God don’t like ugly.
What God has for Barack Obama… no man will stop!
Peace and Blessings!
