The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) has rejected the invitation to meet with President Trump for a follow up meeting at the White House, according to a letter released by the chair of the committee, Cedric Richmond, on Wednesday.
Citing actions by the Trump administration "that will affirmatively hurt black communities," Richmond wrote that concerns discussed during a preliminary meeting with Mr. Trump on March 22nd "fell on deaf ears."
"Given the lack of response to any of the many concerns we have raised with you and your administration, we decline your invitation for all 49 members of the Congressional Black Caucus to meet with you," Richmond said.

Our POTUS is no longer obligated to meet with them or even acknowledge them, AFAIC.
Time for Trump to publicly call the different colored caucuses in Congress, “RACIST”. He should also demand that the Speaker sanction them and disband them.
Part of the swamp.
President Trump should meet with Diamond and Silk, Terrence Williams, Brandon Tatum, E.T. Williams (A.K.A. The Doctor of Common Sense), A.D. Bell, Kiki Green, Arron Genus and any other available conservative black YouTubers since the Congressional Black Caucus is having a tantrum. I guaran-dang-tee POTUS would have much more fun and a much more productive visit with the conservative black YouTubers than with the perpetually offended, obstructionist members of the CBC, who, let’s face it, aren’t looking to work with Trump, anyway.
