John Lewis's feud with Trump echoes a long, difficult relationship with White Americans.
There, fixed it. Bush, McCain and Palin were all too white for him too. Evidently, they roll this race baiting clown out every election cycle.

He gave himself to gibsmedat. It was an easy racket.

It also keeps dependency shackles on his fellow race. He ought to be very ASHAMED of it.

Gibsmedats don’t ask for too MUCH. They ask for too LITTLE, and from the wrong entity. They want messes of pottage, not blessings.

Yup...He's just giving his troops something to scream about during the inaugural protests. Protester talking points. Otherwise the protesters wouldn't know what they were there for.

Good that Trump is not letting Lewis push him around. But he needs to tell blacks that the Lewis formula of racial identity and victim mentality is not working for them — in Chicago or anywhere else.

There was no feud until John Lewis started one.
He started it but expected no push back from Trump?
Really?

I just looked it up. I was actually correct for once! I have had many Jewish friends.
I can see why you would spell it that way. Course this was dictionary . com
I think they most likely make crap up and censor their website...who knows??

I think your sources spell it that way because they confuse German and Yiddish spellings. Yiddish is dialect of German but it was written with Hebrew letters. The word for black in German is schwartz. The "W" is pronounced as a V. (Think Wagner.) Yiddish spells this with the Hebrew letter vav which is pronounced as a V.

There is an R equivalent in both the German and Yiddish, but I've never heard it pronounced, so since I'm transliterating I omit it.

POTUS Trump should call in a drone strike on their building in the middle of the night.

Drop pamphlets on the roof 30 minutes prior.

John Lewis is suffering from a long feud with reality. I don’t doubt that the guy earned his props on that long ago Civil Rights march. But I can separate that from his record since just like I can separate the late Sen. John Glenn’s record as a heroic NASA astronaut from his status as a partisan-hack in the US Senate. Or Randy ‘Duke’ Cunningham’s Vietnam War hero-status from his criminality as a member of the House.

“Trump’s difficult history with African Americans”

What difficult history?

John Lewis is trapped in the quicksand of his past. OK. Selma. Beaten up. Got a lot of Civil Rights advanced for the betterment of all.

But please, John. Stop being a one-trick pony. Get behind efforts to turn Ghettos into Enterprise zone. Help bring prosperity to your people and encourage them to be part of “We the People.”

Right now, you are merely a race pimp.

I think it is time for mandatory IQ tests for future senators and congressmen.
