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.”
They invited all the presidents. You try to bring in those with the power to change things and convince them that their actions have meaning, even symbolic ones. So, they probably tried his first term. It’s clear now that he doesn’t care and is in no way willing to help. I suspect that the reason they’re not inviting him goes beyond that. They’re making a statement. They’re signalling to those who support their mission.
I looked through a different article and it said this: “Trump will be the first president since Herbert Hoover in 1932 not to speak at the conference at all, skipping it entirely in 2016 as the presidential nominee and again in 2017 and 2018.”
So your man was invited but didn’t come.

Not my man. I consider him to be about as abhorrent of a person as a person can be. He should be in jail for so many crimes.
I think you and I think of different meanings for “your man”. Never said that Trump wasn’t a gombeen piece of shit.
Well, I’m glad for the misunderstanding! A unique experience for me!
Every day we learn something is a happy day for us
