Barbershop owner feels misled by Trump event

Rocky Jones said he thought his Buckhead shop was hosting a forum for Black businesses but never expected to fade into the realm of politics.

[@CarnivoreCrazy-kx2lj]

He had Byron Donald in there and said he didn’t know politics was involved. Stop the cap.

[@sparkshmstd]

Could it be that he didn't know who B. Donald is??

[@ariesgirl9592]

Well he should have known who Ben Carson was. He served in the Trump Administration. Not only that, the minute Trump called in, he should have pulled the plug on everything.

[@DiddyKatt]

⁠@@sparkshmstd He knew who all of them were. He signed a document to have his shop rented out for an event. Donald Trump’s name was clearly noted on the document. Once he started feeling heat from the progressive left and black liberals. He got scared and jump ship. But he kept the money that the Trump campaign gave him. 😂😂 Lesson learned !! It’s better to give in to the pressure from the left. Than to receive help from a white conservative.

[@bizwiz5742]

@CarnivoreCrazy-kx2lj I seriously doubt he had ever head of Byron Donald. It's not like he's a household name. Hell, I'm black and I only heard of him recently as a result of hearing him spew is foolishness for Trump. All black people don't know each other.

When Biden took office in Jan 2021, the Black or African American unemployment rate was 9.3% The record low for the Black or African American unemployment rate, 4.8%, was set under Biden in April 2023. Biden also holds the record low, 11.3%, for Black individual poverty under the Supplemental Poverty Measure, which incorporates cash and noncash government benefits, tax credits, people’s necessary expenses and geographic differences in the cost of living. The lowest supplemental figure for Black individual poverty under Trump was 14.7% in 2020. Under Biden, Black business ownership growing at the fastest pace in 30 years.

You want black voters then lay out what we as a people will get if we vote for you, call out the racist in your party who even display this against black Republicans. But instead they love getting the types who being sellouts trash us as a people, our history, think they are one of them ,that also satisfy their racist thoughts about us. They are in black face racist against their own ,the type we had on the plantations telling massa we are plotting an escape,have escaped. Harriet Tubman no matter how much of their white God they put in her had no problem drawing her gun on these types who wanted to return,found the journey hard. She knew they would tell massa everything. , the routes she took, the many along the Underground Railroad they would expose causing all to be killed, those wanting freedom staying knowing there was not any safe place to go, no Harriet leading the way. As little as she was, as many times she fell out after as a child being bashed in the head by massa , her going repeatedly back freeing others during winter she knew these types well and raised that rifle on them without hesitation. Throughout our history we had these types they got to infiltrate our movements, unalive our leaders ,and told massa we did not need this are that like they are saying now even about Reparations.

In the end I don't blame him, he needs to support his workers and his family. I blame the far leftist who don't actually support black business, and I feel black voters have a responsibility to do what is best for them economically. That is why after all the pandering the majority of black voters still support democrats blindly while Hispanics who are "threatened with deportation" are supporting Trump more and more. By the lefts logic Hispanics have more to lose but we are hard working and want a strong economy that supports America first instead of wars. Sad to say most black voters only think about the handouts they can receive rather than the opportunities of a strong economy. Trump does not need the black vote and shouldn't ask for it. Majority in the black community much rather be pandered to than actually have a leader who has kept peace and America prosperous. By preferring being pandered you make your voice irrelevant. They will only "help" when they need your vote and then ignore you for 3 years.

Embraced the information from other Black Leaders like Ben Carson, Bryon Donalds, his own customer (a Trump supporter) and said let me find out if there is any truth to Trump giving Black Colleges money without asking, and the other topics they discussed. He would lose some customers, but he would also have gained some customers. He states himself that he tries to provide service to all people, but it appears that he is getting a lot of shit from his current customers which I must assume hate Trump (thanks CNN). So rather than possibly using it as a teaching moment to learn more about Trump and what may or may not be the truth, he would rather vote for Biden cuz Biden said it himself "You ain't black if you don't vote for me" which is the most racist statement I've ever heard but maybe since he's so tight with Corn Pop, he gets a pass. What has Biden ever done for the Black community. What did Obama do for the Black community. The only thing either did was 1. Obama got elected but it wasn't because of Black People, it was because of White Guilt. and 2. Biden got the first partially Black woman as a VP but nobody wants her to actually run the country. She is just another useful tool. Bottom line is pick your side (right or wrong) and when you see you are getting punked (if that's how you feel) say something about it immediately. If you had said something on camera, you would have done yourself a big favor because you would have publicly stated your case while it was happening. The other gentlemen (the coach) was smart enough to defend his politics very intelligently and said he simply tried to help the youth to be self sustaining and I kind of felt like he was not really on board with what was happening and so he kind of backed up your feelings of ignorance. You should KNOW your stance and if you didn't like Trump, why would you sign an agreement for Trump to use your venue. It is clearly on the agreement. As a business owner, I sincerely hope you don't lose your business, but I hope you educate yourself better and realize that everybody at some point will take advantage of a fool. My analysis is that Byron Donalds used you since he took out his phone and then either he called DJT or it was planned/timed that he call in. That's just my take. Also, if you're going to make an agreement with a Billionaire, you need to ask for more money to use your shop stating that the division that Trump could cause your business might not be worth it even if let's say you loved Trump but most of your customers didn't. I would have asked for a Year or two worth of business before signing any contract just from the blowback.

He literally put a sign in his Barbershop “Black Americans for Trump” and he signed a Contract involving a Trump Campaign. He wasn’t mislead he just doesn’t like the backlash.

In two of Rocky’s first three answers he says, “we talk politics in the shop.” In the opening monologue Donalds says they are going to talk about Trump. I believed Rocky until I saw the full interview. He’s lying now.

Open your eyes... the thing now a days are "policy-making" startting in your own household, family, backyard, your business (you made the rules)... wake up.

[@leewebb7]

Let's call this what it is....he saw a quick way to make an easy 4800 bucks.....but when the backlash instead of standing up for his decision...as it's his.. business started he plays victim and says was 'bamboozled"

[@holupwedemboyz6277]

At some point the black community needs to awaken. What have decades of Democrat done for you? Literally nothing. So why not try something new cause democrats had plenty of chances to better our communities….

[@MsGadgetLady2020]

No talking politics and mostly sports? 😳 There is a misconception so many people have about discussing politics. If you do not discuss what is going on in politics, how do you know what is going on in the community, country or the world? How is the community or country supposed to progress if you are not discussing politics when politics is where policies and laws come from? 😒 How does talking about sports help make the community or the world better?🤔 A bunch of talk with no action is nothing but hot air.😣

Here’s another one, playing the victim. Understanding systems of oppression is key to being able to resist oppression. Know thyself! Stop identifying as Black!

[@thomasx58]

How did that trump sign get on your wall dude. I hope that none of his customers return.

[@johngiglio6834]

11Alive and Black barber flat out lying. Show Democrats the contract 11Alive.

I’m so sorry that your business that you obviously have worked hard to be a successful business and a positive influence in your community has been used and abused this way. Regardless of political affiliation good people can easily see that this small business has been taken advantage of. Anyone would have trusted a long time friend to be honest about promoting something they knew was important to you. I don’t think he was negligent in not fact checking a friend, who would. The best way to show these deceitful politicians that we won’t except their lies and their abuse of citizens because they have money to buy people is to not only continue to show support to small businesses especially black owned businesses but to stop supporting the business that support them. Deceitful people stick with their own. I always told my children that they are judged by the company they keep, it is a rule throughout life that remains true. Thank you sir for speaking out against the corruption that is Trump .

He signed a contract with the Trump campaign. The Trump campaign literally rented his venue for campaign and he literally signed a contract. Why is Trump calling a venue he contractually agreed to. Wow
