Friday was a whirlwind of a day…
The New York Post reached out to me to see if I was interested in writing an article in response to Obama’s comments. It took me less than an hour and a half to write and submit it. Less than an hour later, it was online and gaining massive traction.
A couple of hours later, I saw one of the producers for Jesse Watters sent me a DM on Twitter/X to appear on his show. At first, I thought it was going to be a remote appearance but they opted to send me a driver and have me come in-studio.
I’ve been inside Fox’s studios once before for the Fox & Friends First early morning show last year but I’d never appeared on Jesse Watter’s show before.
A little behind the scenes, we ran into a lot of traffic and I got there a couple minutes before I went live on primetime television.
The responses have been overwhelmingly positive and my notifications have been ridiculous for the past 48 hours. A true blessing.
This clip is the best one I could find. I only spoke for a couple of minutes.

Well done Adam. Jesse Watters. The BIG TIME!!
Surreal...
Thank you!
Well said.
Their actions speak louder than their words. People who say that they are struggling for a specific group are usually just struggling for their own ideas and would rather have actual members of that group shut up and follow obediently.
So good !
I had a friend blow up me and my husband last night because through conversation she discovered we aren’t voting for Kamala. Part of their argument was that by not voting for her, we were voting for a racist and the unspoken message being that we are therefore racist ourselves for that act. It is an upside down messed up world we live in. Thanks for being a voice of reason and for standing up against this upside down world with your voice and writing, Adam.
Stay the course Mr. Coleman!!
It's great to see you getting the recognition you deserve!
Thank you 😊
Fabulous!
It is so insulting that they think you owe them a vote due to the color of your skin. And they're supposed to NOT be the racist ones?
It's the party of slavery, segregation, poll taxes, Jim Crow, and the KKK. How can they not be racist? It's in their DNA.
Thank you for your thoughtful article Mr. Coleman and congratulations on your appearance on national television. You displayed confidence and articulated your stance very well. Similar to your take I feel the Democrat party expects women to vote for any woman. That’s not the feminism I grew up with. I won’t vote for a woman just because she’s a female. Both parties have missed their chance by not looking at someone like Condoleza Rice.
I especially appreciate this quote of yours: “Americans deserve a president who possesses leadership qualities, whereas Kamala appears as a social climber who rubs elbows with the right people to get what she wants.” This indeed appears to be the case.
Just one year ago it seemed no one (including the Obama’s & Clintons) would have considered Harris as a serious candidate for even one moment. And yet here we are.
All the best to you!
Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind words. It seems I'm not alone in my assessment of her.
I am blessed to see you gaining more and more influence. May it be multiplied, for the good of the nation and the world.
I can tell you something about racism because my mother was raised in an orphanage in North Carolina (born in 1914). A person could not be more racist against blacks than my mother was, and she was never able to overcome it in the least. She said some of the most demeaning things imaginable against blacks that I will not repeat. Voting Democrat was something she held on to. My dad, on the other hand, was conservative - so they canceled each other's votes.
When I heard of Robert Byrd, who was a staunch Democrat for his whole life, praised at his funeral by the Clintons, Biden, and Obama, I was not shocked because I knew the history of the party. Byrd was a recruiter for the KKK, having been directed to Democrat politics because of his klan leadership abilities. I have a different view of such people changing their racism after knowing what a hold it can have on a person. When I heard politicians say he had changed, I knew better! Such a depth of racism as he had, just like my mother's, does not change, although it may be expressed in a different way. Racism is all about power as Shelby Steele points out at the end of his eye-opening movie, "What Killed Michael Brown?"
Byrd's apparent change was a deception with the purpose of keeping as many blacks as possible on the plantation and under control. President Johnson convinced him after some argument, that civil rights were coming to blacks and that the party had to get on board and use the momentum to maintain their power. Like a move in judo, they used the energy of their opponent against him and took him to the mat with it! "Vote for the master and he will take care of you!"
Civil rights happened and the Democrats, who had already gotten a lot of support through the New Deal, maintained their racist power and control, but this time in the guise of being on the side of blacks. Read the books by Vince Everett Ellison! He is as "in-your-face" about the racist Democrats in his books as were the fearless Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X against the racists of their day.
That is my opinion on the Democrat hold on the black vote. But it is an opinion based on observation! If anyone reading this is of a different opinion, show me where I am wrong! I love truth and will change my opinion when corrected by the facts, if they contradict me!
Jason Riley said it in the title of his book, "Please Stop Helping Us!"
"I have a different view of such people changing their racism after knowing what a hold it can have on a person."
I disagree with you on this.
I believe he was racist his whole life and didn't change his worldview.
I just think people can have a profound change of heart.
The Clinton's and Trump used to be friends for a very long time., they broke apart because Trump became a Republican after being a Democrat for a long time.
My statement may have been unclear. Although I do not think Robert Byrd ever changed his racist heart, I do believe it is possible to change. I don't know if it can happen without the help of God, but it can happen. If it does happen, there is solid evidence to follow, and I don't mean going through a Robin DiAngelo struggle session. It is apparent that the only change with Byrd was that he saw the damage it would do to his political career if he didn't show change, and he acted accordingly.
Good on you, Adam.
He is the leader of the party which during COVID, heaped scorn and derision on people guilty of “doing their own research” and questioning the vaccine and medical misinformation we were getting from our government and the health institutions that were later proved to be wrong. Doing your own research on Democrat candidates is now looked down upon with them. “Just listen to us, we know better” is their message to black men. This and their growing advocacy for censorship of views they disagree with is pushing independents like me farther in the other direction. I’m glad we have people like you defending your pigeonholed brethren who dare to think for themselves.
Ah, yes--the people who say "trust the science," until the "science" doesn't say what they want it to say!
Your excellent observation: "Kamala is a chameleon who will do or say anything at any given moment to gain more power."
I was surprised to see that "Kamala Kameleon" does not come up in a Google search, but surely it must have been thought up already ... !?
Anyway, whether it has or has not, I would like to suggest a derivative based on Rudyard Kipling's mesmerising cobra, Kaa ...
Obviously, then, Kaamala Kaameleon ... a mesmerising political chameleon.
But even just as Kaamala with the double "a" it says a lot ... the Kaameleon then gives it a grand finale.
Of course this is grossly unfair to Kaa, the Kobra, as Kaamala in her profound shallowness is far, far, but far more venomous ...
Excellent work! Hope you’re right!
A bit curious about your gut reaction. Did Watters appear genuine or did he just want the correct sound bite? Did you get the feeling you could say what you wanted and they would be cool with it? Or did they direct you with what you were allowed to say? I'm always curious as to these large networks what really happens behind the scenes..
