Well, I guess you will label him a racist now, if so maybe we can label Lewis the same.

This is who we are stuck with for the next 4 years".

He cannot conduct the Presidency like a CEO, but this is exactly what he's doing.
Really, it is that big of a deal? The museum is not going any where, and there isn't that much to learn.

I wouldn't call him "stupid" either but he is far from ethical, moral or living with Christian values. Being a cut-throat and successful businessman does not cancel out his negative and often vulgar personality flaws.

Your quote:
Who hasn't made comments, anyone who makes comments about blacks is criticized anyway, so whats the difference? Lets talk about how many popular blacks have made negative statements about whites and nothing was said, the tide is turning my friend, get used to it.

Trump might have actually learned something. Based on his past statements and current tweets - he seems to think that all blacks live in a crime-infested ghetto.

Such a uniter that Donald!

This thread is not about Obama; it's about the racist that says he wants us all to be 'united". When he says OR does something unifying ~ let us know.

No, he would not have been attacked for going. It might actually be seen as a unifying gesture, something that he CLAIMS to want.
