'Slap in the face to black people': Trump faces backlash over rally on Juneteenth

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump was hit with strong backlash over his decision to hold a campaign rally next week on Juneteenth, a holiday marking the end of slavery, in Tulsa, the site of a horrific race massacre against black people in 1921.

Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Karen Bass, D-Calif., said the decision to hold a rally there on June 19 "is disrespectful to the lives and community that was lost during the Tulsa race riot."

"This was a massacre of innocent Black inhabitants by White supremacists in a span of 24 hours," Bass said in a statement to NBC News.

"This was the worst act of racial violence to date," she added, "and yet this is the place that the president, who has pursued nothing but a hostile and oppressive agenda for black people since his inauguration, has chosen to celebrate."

This is deliberate.

He is EVIL.

He wants to start a race war.

This has always been his intention.

He is a racist.

He is surrounded by racists giving him advice and writing his speeches.

He is EVIL.

Juneteenth to African-Americans. He is making a big mistake. I hope he takes this mistake and makes 100x worse by his remarks at his rally.
