BLM Leader Slams NYC Mayor Eric Adams, Calls Him 'A White Man in Blackface' and 'A Coon'

A Black Lives Matter leader slammed New York Mayor Eric Adams (D) on Thursday, calling him a “white man in blackface” and “a coon.”

Black Lives Matter of Greater New York co-founder Hawk Newsome made those comments during an interview on Fox News in response to what the mayor said last week, when he accused Black Lives Matter activists of hypocrisy after a string of black-on-black shootings.

“I thought Black Lives Matter. Where are all those who stated ‘Black Lives Matter’? Then go do an analysis of who was killed or shot last night. I was up all night speaking to my commanders in the Bronx, in Brooklyn. The victims were black. Many of the shooters were black,” Adams said on Spectrum News NY1 on April 14.
