Maybe Trump will make a point of correcting that “oversight.”

I would imagine like at MOST American African museums, they will have a lot of hoop lah about Nelson Mandela.

And not a single mention of Clarence Thomas.

Trump can, and should, go later when there will be fewer troublemakers around. And bring lots of friendly, policy wise blacks.

I’m surprised the msm didn’t throw in “And instead Trump met with KKK leader David Duke to the shock of noone”

Huh? How do you get that translation? Or are you offering a liberal translation?

I’m sure this shrine to the black “American” left will be heavily subsidized by school trips (read: taxpayers).

He gains nothing by visiting the museum at this point (though he may later, when he’s in office). He attracted more black & Hispanic support than Romney, and that is why the Democrats have to push the “rayciss” theme...

Why do people continue to feel the need to kiss the butts and pander to these race industry frauds? I really don’t get it.

I asked a group of younger folks the other day if they’d ever personally witnessed a racist act by white folk in their entire lives. They all admitted they had not.

"Lewis introduced the original legislation to found the African American museum in 1988 and pushed it for 15 years before President George W. Bush signed it into law. "

He couldn't get Bubba or Al Gore to get this Bill through Congress? I mean, the Democrats were in control of Congress from 1987 through 1994, and he couldn't get it passed? Bush signed the Bill to found the museum in 2003. But wait, I thought Lewis said Bush wasn't the legitimate President then too, so that must mean that Lewis believes the law establishing the museum is illegitimate too. He can't have it both ways. Tear it down!!!

I'm guessing Trump offered MLK III his to shake. Why otherwise would he have it out? Shaking hands his a stronger gesture between two people than just "thumbs up." For whatever reason, the offer wasn't picked up. Rather than look awkward with his hand out, Trump gives a "thumbs up."

I’m not really sure if it’s a handshake, but I’m hoping either just before or just after! :^)

losing a chance for much-needed goodwill after his feud with a civil rights leader...

Isn't this the perfect encapsulation of how racist liberals think?

According to them, John Lewis is 'a civil rights leader' and being 'a civil rights leader' he must command the attention and obeisance of anyone whose skin is darker than a heavy tan, and therefore anyone who has African American ancestry must look to him for direction in their daily lives, because after all none of them are individuals with minds of their own.

If you're a liberal, of course you believe that all black people think alike, that is, if they think at all. But you will helpfully suggest that Donald Trump visit the African American history museum to make amends for his racism, even though you don't believe that Donald Trump or any white American can ever make amends for their inherent whiteness, but you will still earnestly implore him to make such a pilgrimage in order to ask for forgiveness for his sins from - whom - the museum attendants, or from the press? After which you will turn around and excoriate him for attempting such an empty gesture.

We know exactly how liberal press idiots think and operate. We're not going to fall for it. Trump is not going to fall for it. Just go away, Daily 'News', please.

They got it! now they can call him racist. They were looking for something to “prove” he’s racist.
