Ivanka Trump’s new tweet commemorating Black History Month and calling for “greater equality for all Americans” has Twitter asking: “Have you met your father?”

On the first day of Black History Month on Thursday, President Donald Trump’s daughter and adviser tweeted: “During #BlackHistoryMonth, we celebrate heroes like Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who were sojourners for freedom — and we resolve to continue to bring greater, equality, dignity, and opportunity to all Americans, regardless of race or background.”

Her tweet was met with widespread backlash, however, with many declaring her words hypocritical and accusing the first daughter of being “complicit” in what critics called her father’s racist agenda.

Others took issue with Trump’s reference to “all Americans” during a month intended to celebrate the historical contributions of black people in the United States........................................

1. Kushners have set records arresting poor people who cant pay their rent, including

POC

Kushners are two of the worst human beings alive.

2. She doesn't even know the meaning of sojourner

The word doesn't even make sense in that context. What an idiot!
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. She doesn't know the meaning of complicit either.

3. Maybe she was trying to jam "Sojourner Truth" into the tweet and it didn't fit

so she left the nonsensical use of the word "sojourners" there.

4. gopers

I like the one with the photo of the all-white GOPer class -- a fitting illustration of the hypocrisy.

Edit to add:
The tweet(?) appears to use the same photos as in this

11. Picture says it all.

Melania and Ivanka need to ask the Orange Clown two questions;
1. Why did he received 8% of the Black vote?
2. Why did the CBC wore Kente Cloth during the SOTU?

5. You cant think of her as genuine cuz she isn't. She' s a dimwit

Like her father and a narcissist

[sinkingfeeling]

6. Bet she can't name another black historical person.

[rurallib]

8. how about Ben Carson?

he's about to be history.

[Cha]

16. lol.. I wish!

[not fooled]

15. Bet she never named those

a staffer looked them up.

She's a horrible person and a fraud. Like daddy. And, she married her father--another real estate grifter.

7. They would be wise

to just shut up. The less they say, the better. They are so tone deaf.

[marble falls]

9. Just remeber: she the "smart" one.

[SergeStorms]

10. And the GOP wants....

this bonehead to be the first woman President.

[Hekate]

13. I think that was something Jarvanka cooked up together...

You can just see their tiny greedy brains thinking that, Hey this gig is easy, so easy, you just show up and tell a whole lot of people what to do, and there is a shit-ton of money to be siphoned off. If dear old dad could get this gig, why not us? The country's ready for a woman, and here's a young and glamorous one!

Yeah.

[Hekate]

12. They are the lipstick on the pig. DTs is still a swine, they are his family, and they should STFU.nt

14. Wonder how she "celebrates"?

[True_Blue]

18. Probably with champagne lollipops.

[zentrum]

20. LOL.

17. Bound to be criticized either way. If she'd said nothing, everyone would be calling her out on that

I don't see the value in everyone attacking her for making a GOOD statement, regardless of whether you believe her or not.
Although it seems she needs to look up the definition of "sojourner"!!

[truthisfreedom]

21. She should be speaking out against her father's policies.

She needs a strong voice against his hate.

And she needs to do it often.

Otherwise, she's complicit.
