re: Black leaders not attending opening of civil rights meeting because of trump....shameful

Black person chiming in.

This is really a 2 sided issue.

1. Why build a Civil Rights Museum and not support it? I'm sure that most of these leaders respect the contributions of the previous leaders.

BLM is a symptom to a disease. While some of you may not see it, there are cases of discrimination in the work place and in the courts that don't get "air time" usually due to it being a small company or village.

2.I don't think this is a stab against the POTUS as much as the divisive rhetoric. There are many Blacks who legitimately feel that the POTUS is okay with police and other whites discriminate against them.

I'm referring to working Blacks who are trying to better themselves. Not the minority who are addicted to welfare.
