The NAACP announced Monday the group will not invite President Donald Trump to its national convention next month in Charlotte, North Carolina, the first time the prominent civil rights organization has opted to exclude a sitting president in its 116-year history.
NAACP President Derrick Johnson announced the move at an afternoon press conference, accusing Trump of working against its mission.
“This has nothing to do with political party,” Johnson said in a statement. “Our mission is to advance civil rights, and the current president has made clear that his mission is to eliminate civil rights.”
I prefer quotes to be as close to the original as possible. Hurtful as it is. That’s kind of the point here.
Censoring the bad shit that happened before is a sure way to repeat it. See holocaust denial for the extreme. Don’t deny talking about the past just because it hurts.
Yep, I totally agree with you. Just trying to address it head on while also appeasing as many viewpoints as possible.
