T.I. has issued a stern warning to his celebrity peers meeting with Trump: “Do not accept any invitation to have any meeting... No matter how positive you think the outcome may be.”

On Monday, T.I. shared his two cents on the matter in a series of Instagram video posts explaining his theory on the Trump administration’s “strategic plan” to help normalize the president-elect.

“They see how adamantly against [Trump] being president the hip-hop community and the young black people was in America,” he said. “So what did they do? They get Kanye West to come in.

Steve Harvey. Let’s get him in here, he’ll take a picture he’ll smile. He’ll say it’s cool. They’ll fall right in line.’ ”

Who the freak is T.I. and why should I care what T.I. says? Where do these people come from? Why don’t they just leave like they said they would if Trump got elected.

Exactly. Warning: Trump is actually doing things to help black Americans. Stop him before he succeeds.

The same people who say Republicans are racist because we don’t take Black concerns seriously and don’t have enough Blacks involved then flatly forbids Blacks from working with us and declares “not really Black” anyone who does get involved.

You Black Democrat fools...you ain’t seen nothing yet from the Trump/Carson duo!!! This ride to free, assist and support USA Black folks out of economic slavery, poverty and crime, a gift from Obama & company!!! I can assure you Democrat Black folks and all Democrats...you all are gonna get wiped out politically, come 2018!!!!

My advice...dump the CBC, the NAACP.....and, join the TRUMP/CARSON TRAIN!!! That’s where the hope & change and salvation for Black Americans thrives!!!

TI will lose his following if inner city young blacks are able to get good educations and great jobs. Gott keep them on the plantation if he wants to keep the money rolling in.
