The NAACP announced Friday night it would hold a separate event in Mississippi Saturday while President Donald Trump goes to the opening of a civil rights museum.
NAACP head Derrick Johnson, Jackson's Democratic Mayor Chokwe Lumumba and Rep. Bernie Thompson, D-Miss., plan to hold a news conference Saturday morning in Jackson ahead of the president's museum visit, The Hill reported.
The civil rights advocates said their event was meant "to pay homage and recognition to those individuals who have dedicated their lives to the civil and human rights of Mississippians minus the presence of President Donald Trump," The Hill reported.
Johnson and Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., have already said they'd skip the opening event for the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum after Trump said he'd attend.

Now who is the racist.
ReplyDeleteTalk about racist bastards....
ReplyDeleteThe NAACP is discriminating against Trump because of his race...Any federal funding this hate group receives should be pulled.
ReplyDeleteAhh the true racists always show their colors. No denying it.
ReplyDeleteYep, Racists they are. I would bet if it was Barack coming to town, they would be having all out parade and rolled out red carpet mile long
ReplyDeleteSilly Liberals. Don't they know Everytime they do these things it means more Republican votes? Ray?
ReplyDelete11:41....I would be "offended" if any of our taxes go toward this disorganized so called organization.
ReplyDeleteLook how dumb they are, don't even realize it would be helpful to them to support the best president they have ever had in their lifetime. As Fred "G" would say...big dummy
The naacp is no longer needed
ReplyDeleteThe NAACP has done NOTHING for colored/black/Negros/ African Americans (whatever the choice of words is today) ever since it was created EXCEPT for convincing blacks that it's the WHITE's fault for their lack of success.
ReplyDeleteIt is a worthless organization that has helped keep racism alive.
Excuses, excuses, excuses. That should be their motto.
