Trump wants Kaepernick & West for White House race summit

[WheelieAddict]

seems like it's just a directed reality show stunt....

Maybe we can hope for the best, huh? Regardless of who gets any credit?
.

you actually think somethings gonna happen from it?

Candycorn is spot on with her post, imo.

Trump purposely gets Kaepernick blackballed from getting a job on the field and now wants to hear what he has to say?

I don't buy it.....

Well, I'll hope for the best, as I always do. Regardless of who gets credit.
.

Yeah your a regular independent:

"Ah, the "beer summit". Eight years, and we got the "beer summit".
We've never had a President more prepared and qualified to tackle our race issues head-on than Obama. Not even close. Yet in eight years, he did little more than vote "present".

Sounds legit bro. Trump has been so smooth on race relations so it's different now.

 

[Correll]

Didn't Obama attempt this early on?

Aren't we all Americans? Why focus on race. Seems to be a very democratic thing to do.

No, Obama did the exact opposite.

Can we agree that Kaepernick was being needlessly combative and using his platform for negative purposes by wearing socks that depicted police officers as pigs?

Actually I'm a left-leaning Independent. You can see my positions on the issues in the link at the end of the second line of my sig, bro.

I'm hoping for the best. Obviously, many are not.

Nice. Thanks, Mr. President, this is LONG OVERDUE. Two well-known figures TALKING with high national visibility.

We need to start somewhere: President Trump Wants Colin Kaepernick, Quarterback He Vilified, and Kanye West for Summit on Race

I hope this happens, and I hope it starts REAL dialogue and communication and LISTENING.

Maybe they'll find a few points ON WHICH THEY CAN AGREE.

I was hoping for something like this from the prior administration.
.

I would expect ANY other American politician to blow this. BADLY.


I am open to Trump making it productive.


If he pulls it off, you willing to give him credit?

The prior administration had the beer summit that was widely mocked by republicans.

Ah, the "beer summit". Eight years, and we got the "beer summit".

I know you're ideologically obligated to spin for him. But as an Independent, that was by far my biggest disappointment with his administration.
.

So the beer summit doesn't matter and I'm the guy obligated to spin for pointing out a fact? Sure bud, your a real true independent!

I'm hoping for the best, you're deflecting.

Even though I voted against Trump, I don't care if he gets credit if this goes well. I just care about results.

The last thing you'd want is for this to actually work. Not with Trump in the White House.
.

The beer summit was calling the cop into a hostile situation and putting him in his place.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Can we agree that low income people of all races are not reliable voters and that safety net programs are not designed to keep minorities on the Dem plantation?

How about that one, Mac?

The very last two things the Regressive Left wants to see are (1) race relations healed and (2) Trump getting ANY measure of credit for it. Holy shit.

This issue is at their very foundation. They'll fight this one with everything they have.

[Correll]

Kanye discussing racial issues is almost as dumb as Dennis Rodman dealing with foreign relations. Sounds like something Trump would come up with.

Why? Because he is a celebrity?

 

[Correll]

Yeah, instead of inviting intellectuals and folks who actually got the shit beat out of them on a bridge in Selma, let’s invite multi millionaires to discuss the hardships blacks face due to skin color.

Trump equates money with substance. Both men have @ specialized skill set that society endows in sports and art. That is pretty much the only reason anyone cares about their opinions and it adds zero validity to those opinions. Want to talk about racism in sports, put Doug Williams on the team or James Blake. Racism in music? I’m sure Kanye can weigh in on that. Rich folks can and do face racism, of course. Money is an invisible commodity that doesn’t trump skin color. Yet somehow having millionaires discussing with other millionaires their hardships is likely to have little impact on the ground.

A lot of people, including black people, put a lot of weight on celebrities and what they do or say.


Far more than care about what intellectual say. And that people on the bridge are all old, and what they have to say has already been integrated into the Status Quo. They have nothing more to add.

Yes, a serious young man protesting police brutality and a washed up rap star seeking attention. Yup, Stormy Mac, that's totally going to fix the problem.

I hope this happens, and I hope it starts REAL dialogue and communication and LISTENING.

You got that with the Beer Summit... Um... yeah, it was roundly mocked and cops kept on shooting black kids in the back.

 

[Mac1958]

Such a hopeful news item. Such predictable negativity.

 

[JoeMoma]

Kanye discussing racial issues is almost as dumb as Dennis Rodman dealing with foreign relations. Sounds like something Trump would come up with.

I would say that Kanye is at least as qualified as Kaepernick to discuss racial issues.

Actually a sound persuasion technique. Put the person on the outs, and then give him a chance to get back in, by working with you, maybe even working to get your respect.


Kaepernick, on some level knows, he will be vastly empowered if he goes to this.


Trump is the person that can heal all the damage that Kaepernick has done to his career, and then some.



I've said it before. Trump is operating on a level that you libs can't even SEE.

 

[MaryAnne11]

Well, that's interesting. Kudos for Trump if he can make it happen.

Yup. I've been saying all along - and I could end up being wrong as hell - that any real progress might have to begin from within popular culture, not politics, not policy. That's not really a good thing, but that's the way this country is geared right now.

This could be a perfect start. I'll take anything that involves actual effort at this point. Then, hopefully, the momentum builds.
.

Just what we need , a guy who said , “ Slavery was a choice!” I heard yesterday they are saying Kanye is going off the rails again. He is trying to sell his latest Album.

Mac has spoken. Remember guys he is a true independent so he is an expert on how bad the left is.
