President-elect Donald Trump canceled plans to spend Martin Luther King Day at the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture losing a chance for much-needed goodwill after his feud with a civil rights leader.

That’s been denied.
The campaign said that this was never planned. Fake News!
MSM: LOOK! EVERYONE! TRUMP HATES BLACK PEOPLE!! This proves it!!!
/s
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.
Yep, this is going to be our world for the next 4 years
>>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.
They have no problem drawing battle lines
Cancelled a visit to MLK museum that was never planned, yet met with MLK III..
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
While there I hope he takes in the exhibit on Black Supreme Court Justices like Clarence Thomas......oh wait, never mind
The MSM (aka Fake News) is the Country’s greatest threat.
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.

.@realDonaldTrump prayed with Martin Luther King III & discussed the legacy & work of his father #martinlutherkingday #MLKDAY #MLKday2017
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.
I agree.
