Donald Trump "Withdraws White House Invite" To Steph Curry and Golden State.

[Brother Leon]

So Steph essentially said he will vote against going to The White House when the team votes for it..

911315263403859968

Trump then responded by Withdrawing the invite anyway..

The King then chimed in.

Mr. President do your job, stop the cheap racial shots

With so much going wrong in the world, President Trump decided it was time to go after black athletes for not wanting to come to the White House.
Stephen Curry was merely reiterating a well-known truth when he said he would not go. This White House is a cold house for Blacks, Latinos and other minorities.

Right from his first day on the trail when he referred to Mexican rapists, the Trump agenda was to foster division, build walls literally, and slice off enough of the white vote to win.

Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team.Stephen Curry is hesitating,therefore invitation is withdrawn!

He succeeded and instead of backing off, he is going at the race card harder than ever. Whether Stephen Curry wants to go to the White House or not should be irrelevant at a time when North Korea is threatening nuclear war, Obamacare is barely hanging on, massive tax cuts are being proposed and Russia is playing mind games with us that continue to cause great concern.

But no. Trump also doubled down on some red meat for Alabama Republicans he was trying to stoke up on the issue of NFL players deciding not to stand for the national anthem

https://www.irishcentral.com/uploads/assets/resized_1-cropped-Stephen_Curry_wikipedia.jpg
Oh those uppity black folk with their dumb demands that their lives matter and better training and oversight of police is needed!

When the leading sports figure in America, Lebron James, calls the president of the United States a bum on twitter you know we are in serious territory, James and Trump influence a lot of minds.
LeBron James ✔ @KingJames
U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!

Trump is a divider not a uniter at one of the most dangerous times for race relations in America.

Words can kill and I very much fear that heightened tensions will lead to violence on our streets in the near future.

Back in 1989 Spike Lee filmed a marvelous and prophetic movie called “Do the Right Thing” about how racial tensions simmered then came to a boil in a New York neighborhood. He captures the moment when people from another ethnic group become “them” not people with names, faces,dreams, kids and lives.

Like Ian Paisley used to do in Northern Ireland, Trump is providing the rhetoric of “us and Them” that is so dangerous in this fractured society.

Do the right thing Mr.President, stop the cheap shots and curtain calls and attacks on browns and blacks.

You occupy the office held by some of the greatest men in world history, such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Let them be your guide rather than some punk in-your-face attitude you brought from New York to the White House.

This country does not need any more division. We are a nation at war with itself WE need a uniter not a divider.

He's now getting Presenters suspended.


US President Donald Trump has pilloried a cable sports anchor who is suspended after politically charged tweets.
He tweeted: "With Jemele Hill at the mike, it is no wonder ESPN ratings have 'tanked,' in fact, tanked so badly it is the talk of the industry!"
Ms Hill was reprimanded last month for calling Mr Trump a white supremacist and is now off air for two weeks after appearing to urge an NFL boycott.
ESPN said she made a "second violation of our social media guidelines".
Mr Trump also called on Tuesday for the NFL to be stripped of tax advantages if it cannot stop players demonstrating during the national anthem.
He tweeted: "Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country? Change tax law!"
Trump defends Pence NFL protest walkout
The demonstrations, which protesters have said highlight police brutality and racial injustice, have spread in recent weeks after Mr Trump called for the NFL stars to be fired.


Media captionWatch: The history of anthem protests in the US.
ESPN did not specify how Jemele Hill, who is African-American, fell foul of its policies this time.
But on Sunday she argued that fans should shun an NFL team's advertisers after its owner vowed to punish any of his players who kneel or sit during the Star-Spangled Banner.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on Sunday warned his players they would be benched if they did not stand for the flag.
Ms Hill, co-host of the SportsCenter programme, tweeted: "Jerry Jones also has created a problem for his players, specifically the black ones. If they don't kneel, some will see them as sellouts."
She added: "If you feel strongly about JJ's statement, boycott his advertisers."

Ms Hill later posted: "Just so we're clear: I'm not advocating a NFL boycott. But an unfair burden has been put on players in Dallas & Miami w/ anthem directives."
ESPN said in a statement about Ms Hill on Monday: "She previously acknowledged letting her colleagues and company down with an impulsive tweet.
"In the aftermath, all employees were reminded of how individual tweets may reflect negatively on ESPN and that such actions would have consequences. Hence this decision."
