Trump has to ignore established black leaders while elevating new ones.

[resident_evil]

Trump is a rather clever man. I would advise him to create black leadership not by kow towing to the likes of John Lewis but rather picking to engage and empower new black leaders.

Black America needs new leadership and that is accomplished by circumventing the old. Black leadership is not much different than Muslim leadership.

Black Leaders are not just appointed by the president, and Trump is so petty he ignores nothing and twitter feuds with everything.
John Lewis earned the respect of the black community by his service to civil rights. And therefore has a legitimate place among black leaders.
Steve Harvey is a host of a Family Feud and a fine t that. He can not just meet once with Trump and claim to a leader in the black community. He hasn't earned their respect as a civil rights leader.

Trump can eliminate John Lewis from any part of the discussion or invite to White House to discuss issues. Lewis doesn't find Trump "legitimate", so why would Trump force Lewis to lower himself to his "presidential" invite? It would be an insult to John Lewis to meet with Trump.
So one less fly in the ointment.

By simply ignoring these old race baiting agitators, grievance pimps and others and talking to others who have a different message, he will naturally eliminate their relevance.

Their relevance depends entirely on getting recognition. Like tantruming children, when you don't recognize them, they loose their leverage.

1) You're naive about power.
2) You people want Trump to ignore shit so you can get away with it. We are in a propaganda war with you and you want us to disarm. Too bad for you we aren't.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Benedict Donald elevates black people colluding with a white supremacist movement and MiniPoots Band Of Bigots think its noteworthy.

MiniPoots a racist, who cares who he "elevates" other than other racist or racist enablers?

Hate love, support the conservative cult

So you think Lewis is going to get LESS recognition by people who hate White Supremacist?

LOL!!

No wonder some people voted for Benedict Donald !!!

Love Delusion, support the conservative cult

No by ignoring the grievance industry and refusing to acknowledge it, it loses power. Every time Sharpton gets an audience, every time someone gives in toshut him up, he looks like he is getting results that he is taken seriously.

If he gets no results ultimately he and others like him will fade away because if all you can do is run your mouth and no one outside your supporters listen to you eventually they get tired of your empty promises.

Lewis like many other boomers is an angry bitter has been. Instead of engaging him Trump should have ignored him. And if asked said John Lewis who? Oh that guy? Eh he is still around?

You never give your opposition legitimacy by appearing to complain about them. Instead you name them only when you have to And speak as if they are no consequence at all.

If your opposition calls you out you make a calculated decision how best to bury them in irrelevancy. It my include naming them.

In balance I agree with you.

They just keep trying to find a way to keep Trump from educating the public about what really goes on.

I believe Trump will do just that.
Black leaders march to a loser cadence. They have bought into Democrat false promises. Time for them to GO.

There are many young, smart black leaders to choose from - people who will not keep black people down but raise them up. Starting in that position of leadership are Sheriff David Clarke and Doctor Ben Carson. There is a long list of excellent black leaders that will put to shame the whining, blaming and race card tactics of people like Lewis and Maxine Waters.

They don't even have to be conservative or Republicans. He met with a whole bunch before being elected. And there are so many more.
