President Donald Trump hugs "Diamond and Silk" during the "Presidential Social Media Summit" in the East Room of the White House, Thursday, July 11, 2019, in Washington.
The duo, often seen with Trump in the White House and on the campaign trail, said that the offer treated them as if "we were token blacks," and they never considered it.
"Token blacks do what they're told to do. We're Diamond and Silk. We're not token blacks, and we don't owe anybody anything," wrote Diamond.
"You got that right," said Silk, adding, "No amount of money would have stopped us from stumping for Donald J. Trump."
Diamond and Silk, born a year apart as Lynnette and Rochelle Hardaway, exploded on the internet with their videos in support of Trump and conservative activism. In their new book Uprising: Who the Hell said You Can't Ditch and Switch? the two tell their life story and analyze current events, including the Black Lives Matter movement.















Comment: It should go without saying. But not when ideological lunatics are controlling the narrative. They want to watch the world burn, so the can recreate it in their own image out of the chaos and ashes of any semblance of stability and normality that we currently experience.
