How Alec Baldwin Faced Backlash for Saying ‘Black People Love Me’

*Alec Baldwin’s impression of Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live” had been perfect for quite some time until he had to go ahead and make one of his famous controversial comments.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Baldwin said that Black people love him for playing the character, and wherever he goes, black people go crazy. The interview was fine until he made this statement. He really should have stopped there. He then continued that he didn’t want to paint every African American with the same brush, but he thought that they loved him because they are afraid of Trump.

The backlash on social media that followed this interview went exactly as you can imagine. The Black community was offended and rightfully so. Now, we know that Baldwin does not shy away from the most controversial topics in his interviews, but this statement had naturally crossed a line.

To kindle the fire even more, he started addressing the issue about a sexual harassment charge on him of a minor earlier in his career. He responded to this resurfaced problem by saying that the young talent was a fire that needed some fresh wood to move forward. Well folks, he wasn’t drunk. That’s just Alec Baldwin on any normal day.

Baldwin later added in his interview that people are now going to think of him as a philanthropist or an a**hole. As you may have imagined, everyone – not just the Black community, were more inclined to brand him as being the latter. People were seen tweeting sarcastic comments like:

“We had one of our Black bar-b-ques in Wakanda last night, and we couldn’t stop talking about how much we Blacks just love us some Alec Baldwin.”

All the other tweets were also along the same lines, where people were either offended or didn’t know what the hell he talking about.

Well, maybe Baldwin has realized his mistake because he has not addressed the wildfire of comments as yet. Regarding the sexual molestation charge, there has been no development. However, Alec Baldwin is still worried. Well, he should be. While he’s biting his nails, he should reconsider how he addresses the Black community as a whole and why he was so quick to make his careless statement.
