I would imagine like at MOST American African museums, they will have a lot of hoop lah about Nelson Mandela. I never did figure out how he was considered AMERICAN, but they include him. I went to the Afro American museum in Detroit and went away offended, that at least minimum recognition would be given to Abraham Lincoln. At the Smithsonian, they have the filters I am sure to push the NAACP and the W.E.B DuBois crowd, and push down the Frederick Douglas, George Washington Carver, and Frederick Douglass. Anyone who WORKED and EARNED their right to respect was not included.

>>losing a chance for much-needed goodwill

The Progs and the African Grievance Industry will not accept the hand of friendship, so why even bother to try. Let them become outsiders in the Trump administration and wait for them to come back to the table to ask for a seat.

What they want is not just equal right. They won’t be pleased no matter how much you try, if you are not in the right skin color. Trump made the correct decision not going

It this visit was never planned and the story is fake news, then author Jason Silverstein should be held to account for publishing it. His organization should also be accountable.

The Smithsonian, the museum of my youth, once revered and a marvel of history and presentation, so enriching and educational, ....

decided to ....

omit the story of Clarence Thomas from its African-American Heritage section.

They have become politicized.

F’em.

It’s become so obvious that this whole thing with John Lewis was yet another orchestrated Mainstream media event. The Progressives knew that if they trotted this old political hack out and had him accuse Trump of being a Russian agent and not legitimate that Trump would respond. (What self-respecting American wouldn’t respond?)

Yeah, it’s a “Feud”. Trump is a racist. Trump should just accept it politely when he’s falsely accused of treason.

I spent the day reading his 95 thesis and little cathecism.

Translation: Trump offered his hand for a handshake. MLKIII either didn’t see it or refused it. Trump makes lemonade out of lemons.

They made up a story that he was going there and then made up a story that he cancelled it. It was never in the works.
