Michael the Black Man

Along with his brother, Ricardo, who joined the cult before he did, Woodside was reported to have played "a big role in the rise and fall of the Nation of Yahweh" (part of the Black Hebrew Israelites movement).

[8] Woodside became a fervent opponent of the Democratic Party,[9] changed his name to Michael Symonette, and began a career as a musician.

He later started a radio station, BOSS 104.1 FM, before reinventing himself as "Michael the Black Man".

[2][11] In 2012, he spoke to the audience at a Rick Santorum campaign rally in Coral Springs, Florida, where he said that the Democrats were "the worst thing that ever happened to the black man".

[12] As of August 2017, he runs multiple websites, including Gods2.com, which he frequently promotes on his shirt at Trump rallies.
