The article discusses comments made by Melik Abdul, a member of the Leading Black Americans for Trump Coalition, who expressed dissatisfaction over not being invited to Trump's Black History Month reception. He defended Trump against critiques from CNN's Abby Phillip regarding the administration's perceived erasure of Black history and diversity initiatives, while acknowledging the awkwardness surrounding these actions amid other impactful decisions, such as the suspension of programs intended for historically Black colleges, which conflict with the celebration of Black history.
I didn't get an invite to President Donald Trump's Black History Month reception even as he defended Trump from criticism.
His defense appeared to closely resemble Phillip's criticism that Trump is sending two different signals, but that it was good, not bad.
We've been here for the last 33 days, so we've seen this all happen.
The Trump administration also suspended an Agriculture Department scholarship program for historically Black colleges. It is still, last I checked, Black History Month.
