Former FBI director Jim Comey was shouted down during a keynote speech at Howard, a historically black university in Washington, DC.
Comey was the keynote speaker at Howard’s 2017-18 convocation on Friday. He was interrupted when students in the back of the auditorium stood up and began singing the old Negro spiritual “We Shall Not Be Moved”.
Some of the students shouted “black power!,” while others yelled “Let him speak!”
CNN reports one student yelled, “Get out James Comey, you are not our homie.”
After patiently waiting, Comey continued his speech, but the students continued chanting “No justice, no peace!”.
In her book “What Happened,” Hillary Clinton blamed Comey for losing the 2016 presidential election.
Comey famously reopened the investigation into Clinton’s illegal email server after he already cleared her of any wrongdoing.
He again cleared her of wrongdoing about a week before the election.

He seems to get backlash from both sides…? Daamn, homey, I mean Comey!
You should never welcome people at your school that lack principles regardless of who they are. It’s a huge problems at colleges and universities today.
“Get out James Comey, you are not our homie.”
This had me in tears. Goodness! What a great start to my weekend. Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Can someone please explain to me why black people continue to cape for Hilary who calls black men super predators?
Deservedly.
You’re right and her husband responsible for locking up thousands of Black men the Crime Bill.
its simple…she would have been a better president than https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/14aac49c3f07ac5ec3da1ccffe1839df5a984195d743b305ebd31064fc917ac3.jpg
You got that right!
Its Comey’s fault she lost imo…she was ahead in the polls until that last week before the election when he announced that 2nd investigation…
Neither were good candidates. It was just a matter of choosing the lesser evil. Unfortunately, because people weren’t ready for a female president, Trump was the better choice for them. We are all aware of her ? but these days who doesn’t have it. Obama is the last president we will have who left office with 0 political and personal scandals since Eisenhower.
Yep
Protest the white man in college beg for a job from him when you graduate. Make up your mind! Get over Hillary losing! While she’s whining Bill is smiling at someone younger, cuter and thinner. #YesISaidIt
Sandra wheres the article about Kylie being knocked up?????? The lasted bf is said father….hey keeping the hoing in the fam damily
He is an absolute buffoon. Has there ever been a more cowardly, more stupid, more incompetent FBI Director?
I went right to her IG these people wont let up. The comments have me in tears. People so quick now a days! LOLOOLOL
Black folks have never been able to disabuse themselves of Hillary’s inner workings when it comes to black people. For years she’s used the n word like nothing until it became politically expedient to stop. When I learned that about her it was a huge turn off. When she made that comment about black men I knew there was a bigger problem at play. When she told Donna Brazile to “go janitor things up” right after election night and to stop standing there like a “brain dead buffalo” (yes, she said all that) I couldn’t stop thinking about some racial elements there. Of course, everybody’s fault and Donna was one of the first. My candidate had no sho on 2016.
He’s not even in office and the prisons are filled up with blacks. How do you explain that?
I never really understood why black people campaigned so much for Bill either TBH! He got a little head in the white house and lied about it and black people instantly gave him street cred. But forgot the whole time it was Bill who set into play the felony 3 strikes and your out law. Which had the biggest impact on the black community due to the high level of felony drug convictions and Hilary was right there cosigning it. She was using the N word back then on repeat. SMH
so Kylie Jenner is pregnant by travis Scott ?? Tyga said its his baby tho ?????? omg
This notion of shouting people down on college campuses is contrary to one of the primary functions of a university — the free exchange of ideas. The university was not intended to be an echo chamber. If you don’t care to hear someone speak, then don’t show up. If you feel the need to protest, do it in such a way that those who do wish to hear can do so. Whether you liked Comey or not, I’m sure he was “invited” to speak by someone at Howard. I would also imagine that there was time during or after his speech to ask questions.
If you think trying to prevent people from speaking and expressing their viewpoint is going to change/accomplish anything, you obviously aren’t a student of history. Furthermore, if the only time you can listen to a point view is when it’s something that you already agree with, I doubt seriously that you are growing intellectually. This frame of mind is not good for the advancement any people, especially us as black folks.
This is common knowledge
I’m a have to see an authentic baby bump to belee this aint for ratings. If so I know Tyga over there on bended knee hoping that’s his baby.
Heard it’s a girl
Really!?!?
^^Standing ovation for this comment.^^ Sanity in a sea of insanity. The world has gone insane.
stupid. this is the guy that might help put Donald away. this guy is part of history. plus those people look like they don’t even go to the school. hbcu need these “gets” so that alumni donate. let the former head of the fbi speak.
her servers should’ve been secured. plus white women didn’t vote for her. she should’ve bowed out graceful. I partial blame her for trump. they couldve ran gore, me, or you and beat Donald.
it became a business.
I understand inviting him cause he isn’t lying for Donald. I agree that schools should watch who they invite . like the boyscouts learned by inviting Donald.
Pure ignorance
It always was.
Give your common knowledge to somebody else. Right now I am concerned about the stupid clown who is occupying the White House now.
You sound just like Hilary, blaming everyone else for losing the most winnable election in history except herself. Keep up that mentality and you’ll have four more years of Trump.

OT.
Just saw Dump speech and he called Colin a SOB but haven’t signed the bill that has been on his desk for over a week denouncing white domestic terrorists.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0v60_efSCA
Wow Dump paid a fine for purposely keeping black folks off his properties and too out full page ads for those 5 young black boys to die for a crime they didn’t commit. His staff photo looks like a snow avalanche it is so white.
I heard her speaking on the View and I was that is what we need is someone who know what they are talking about instead of making policies on Twitter. Oops my bad I forgot he doesn’t know how to make policies. What was I thinking.
Still waiting on Dump to give HBCU’s more money. Still ROTFLMAO we had all of those Presidents to come to this office for a photo op and all they did was move the office across the street. They was up there and he didn’t even give them the respect to listen to them. Put Pence and Conway up to the task and fronted up the group picture as if they had actually met. Pimping.
Obama had outlawed for profit prisons and Dump override that bill and at the same time had Sessions bring back stop and frisk.
Donald saying MY African American. I was having a Thomas Jefferson/Gone With the Wind slave moment.
??? the worst president of my lifetime
Been a business they just improved the plan to bring in more revenue
Lol
TRUMP IS AN A**! #NOTMYPRESIDENT
Chile, we’ll be waiting until Jesus comes back. Lol! Isn’t it pathetic?

What the hell are you talking about – you don’t even know. All I have to say is you are dumb as hell and you should keep your dumbness to yourself.
Thank you, thank you and thank you!

This is the guy who put Trump in office. He knew the critical impact of his unprecedented statements and treatment of HRC and the personal e-mail server. If he didn’t he is too dumb to address a roomful of students. Someone at Howard should be fired for inviting him. He doesn’t deserve to be a footnote in a history book.
I think a better way to protest his being the speaker would have been to remain quiet, no clapping no reacting whatsoever… Just sit their stone-faced. I don’t think that people who yelled were necessarily pro-Clinton they were anti-Comey for sure…
YALL know what….I see now that my comments are Highly monitored and as before “used” when i have scoop hence why I dont drop “scoop” anymore while folk get paid and don’t have to much research on blogs.I seen WENDY used my COMPARISON TO HER LOOKING LIKE FERGIE ON HER SHOW
Back to the topic….fawkbthe MILLENNIALS…I like Comey!
Thanks for posting this. I will never understand our blind loyalty to the Clinton’s. Bill Clinton did more damage to black people than Trump can ever do. Hillary and Donald Trump feel the exact same way about black people!!
