Days before his inauguration, President-elect Donald J. Trump is engaged in a high-profile feud with some of the country’s most prominent African-American leaders, setting off anger in a constituency already wary of him after a contentious presidential campaign.
Mr. Trump’s criticism of Representative John Lewis of Georgia, a widely admired leader of the civil rights movement, has prompted a number of Democratic lawmakers to say they will not attend his inauguration on Friday.
Blacks around the country have reacted to Mr. Trump’s remarks with fury, and the subject has dominated social media and discussions among black activists. Mr. Trump said on Saturday on Twitter that Mr. Lewis, who asserted last week that Mr. Trump was not a “legitimate president,” should focus on his district and “the burning and crime infested inner-cities.”
The angry reaction is driven not only by Mr. Trump’s Twitter posts but by what many blacks say they reveal about the president-elect’s lack of understanding of the reverence with which the civil rights movement and its leaders are viewed by African-Americans.

I look forward to Diamond and Silk's take on this.
What? Didn’t Obama unite us?
I guess not. They still play the Race Card TM.
Its the only thing they know.
Sounds about right. Lewis attacks you and you can’t defend yourself. /s
it’s time we stopped being held hostage by any minority with a grudge.
Bingo.
You stay posting NYT and WaPo anti Trump articles. That’s fine but some POSITIVITY once in awhile is nice.
No comment on the article. Same old sh*t.
I am outraged by mumbling brain dead lewis who swore the 100 million blacks were eaten by sharks pushed into the sea b their BLACK slaver traders IN CONGRESS!!. I am real tired of this blithering idiot.SHUT UP!! Take your damned pills and go night night!
They’re outraged Trump gave as good as he got.
He ain’t the typical wimpy I’m apologizing GOP establishment Republican.
They don’t understand the rules have changed in Washington.
Maybe if they’d voted for him at the same rate as Hispanics, he’d be more wary of their opinions and feelings. When you sell yourselves overwhelmingly to one party, over and over again, don’t expect the other party to care about you and your issues.
Wow, they’re going to go all race all the time.
I wonder if they’ll try to keep that up for four years.
I do not care how outraged they get.
Outrages black folks? What next?
Uh huh.
We’re as polarized as ever.
Obama divided us even more and he didn’t heal us.
Lewis’ attack on Trump has confirmed it.
I’m sure Blacks in his district are better off than they were eight years ago.
Gosh it’s great to have an advocate like that on your side!

Where is it written that President-Elect Trump has to treat John Lewis with the reverence accorded him by left-wing blacks and progs, particularly when Lewis has denied the legitimacy of Trump’s election and upcoming presidency?
They will and longer if they have to. The number one threat to the United States is the main stream media, not islam. Because without the media lying and covering for them, islam would not be a threat.
Thank you.
