Talladega College’s band will march at Trump’s inauguration as other historically black schools such as Howard University, which performed at President Barack Obama’s first inaugural parade, said they won’t be marching in the Jan. 20 event.
“We were a bit horrified to hear of the invitation,” said Shirley Ferrill of Fairfield, Alabama, a member of Talladega’s Class of 1974.
“I don’t want my alma mater to give the appearance of supporting him,” Ferrill said of Trump on Monday. “Ignore, decline or whatever, but please don’t send our band out in our name to do that.”

Who is being racist now?!
ReplyDeleteThey should be honored to have been invited to this special occasion!
just goes to show that alot black people do not want to reach out or work with anyone, despite Trump reaching out to them in a show of good faith.
ReplyDeleteOur Klavern is going to march for Trumps Inauguration. We got a permit too.
ReplyDeleteEither get on the train or get run over.
ReplyDeleteIt's difficult to me to understand the apprehension of these bands in the face of supporting our Country and Making America Great Again. Shocking that anyone should decline, unless they were non-patriots!
ReplyDeleteAxe HRC to march in the parade. Would look like a one man band.
ReplyDeleteShe could win best appearing float.
DeleteThe media is trying desperately to convince us Mr. Trump will represent the majority of Americans.
ReplyDeleteHe won't.
He will cow tow to his bosses (Israel) just like every other POTUS.
I just get totally disgusted by the left getting away with this crap. They will not force any band members to participate because it goes against their personal beliefs!!! wow!!! isn't that hypocritical!!! Christian Bakers are forced to bake cakes for gay people but lefties retarded idiots can choose not to participate because it hurts there feelings. Just shows you how ignorant and lost these young commie are. How do we weed these piles of excrement from our land?
ReplyDeleteSuck it up, Dems, liberals and socialists. The party is over and there's a new SHERIFF IN TOWN. Thank God for Donald Trump!!!!!!

ReplyDelete5:38 is correct. It is an honor to be invited, and to decline in such fashion if they do says a lot.
Back to facts: Obama had them to his first but wasn't willing to invite them back for his second swearing in, apparently.
File under: Don't burn bridges!
Trump is opting not to have celebrities at his inauguration in the same way that I opted not to take any cheerleaders to prom.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the Class of 2017 has a better grasp of tripe situation that the spokesperson from 1974!
ReplyDeleteLOTS of AMERICANS voted for Trump. BLack, White, Asian, Latino- across all kinds of demographics.
Hope they don't cave to those stuck in the racially-divided 70's which President Obama and his cohort tried to revive.
