Shame on the African-American leaders who allowed that sad display in the WH with Trump.

It was totally disgusting to any black person with any kind of decency and sense of history. i guess there are some self-haters among every group. I even saw one hand belonging to a black participant make the white power hand sign.

1. While it was a sad and bizarre display-

no one group is ever a monolith. You're gonna have folks of all backgrounds in every arena, no matter if they are wanted or not.

2. The meeting was sponsored by Turning Point USA, a right-wing youth group

that's being watched by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups, for its association with the alt-right movement. https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018/02/16/turning-point-usas-blooming-romance-alt-right

How they manage to sucker young black people into getting involved with an overtly racist organization is beyond me. But then, there are Log Cabin Republicans, too.

17. Important for everyone to be watching out for these various groups as they are becoming so active

Scary

18. Most likely paid or the few black MAGATS around

3. Shame on you for blaming "Black Leaders" who have

no way to stop others from being stupid trump doormats.

11. Right

No one - Black or White - sanctioned this. It was a Turning Point USA event designed to help Trump.

4. There were some Jews in the Nazi party...

and it has long been rumored that Hitler had Jewish ancestors.

5. What exactly should African-American leaders have done to stop them?

African Americans are not a monolith controlled by "leaders".

6. Okay, call me a conspiracy theorist, but......

I don't think Trump's people would have invited this group unless they were pretty sure how they would react. I also have no proof of what I am saying, but we all know how Trump hates to be embarrassed. So...….

[The Blue Flower]

7. It was a shameful spectacle

But as someone said, there is no monolithic leadership.

[Solly Mack]

8. Shame on the White American leaders who allow the sad display of white ignorance at Trump rallies.

Because, apparently, white people are a monolith who all think alike with a few leaders having control over all the rest.

Or not.

9. Please! NAACP didn't organize this event.

10. I was speaking to an AA woman at the store who said she would give her lottery winnings to Trump...

.

BECAUSE HE NEEDS IT!

13. well, I mean, she's probably right...he does owe an awful lot of money to the Russian mob

yeah, I don't get it.

12. Wonder if any has gone to an open Trump rally full of racists?

I suspect many might have a different experience attending a Trump rally not held in the White House.

[Blue_true]

14. There are self haters in every group.

You need to change your title. What exactly is a Black leader? There are Blacks that take a public profile, but they are no more "Black Leaders" than Whites that take similar profiles are White leaders.

I honestly think that people that make common ground with people that dispise them simply for who they were born as are damned fools, full stop. An LGBTQ person that supports a politician that cater to LGBTQ hating people is a damned fool, as is Bkacks that support a politician that speaks kindly of Nazis.

15. I merely meant those who were responsible for this event.

16. What African-American leaders do you think were responsible for this event?
