Taraji P. Henson Gets Political At The BET Awards: Calls Out Project 2025, Does Skit With VP
Taraji P. Henson hosted the BET Awards this year, and she brought the show a bunch of scathing political commentary.
Henson started her hosting duties with a parodied version to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” before emphasizing that the annual show was “for us,” before making reference to Donald Trump’s “Black jobs” comment during the last presidential debate.
“We have a show full of all-stars...with Black jobs,” she said, “Whatever that means—but clearly we know there’s a difference. Thanks for the info, but we already knew it,” she said, critiquing Trump's implication that Black jobs are menial jobs.
