What Color is Urban Blight? By Alveda King
Excerpt: he time has come for America to “make Agape Love”, not war. Love and communication God’s way will take us further towards victory. For example, the hyperbolic response to President Trump’s criticism of Democrats representation of urban America can’t hide their failure to liberate their own people from poverty. Emotional reactions and race card tactics can’t bury the truth: A major problem in inner-city America is urban blight. Thankfully, President Trump sees America through the lenses of “one nation under God.” That vision is for all of us; regardless of political party loyalties. When I met with President Trump Monday along with 20 inner-city pastors, he once again demonstrated his commitment to solving the problems facing the black community. This was a meeting that had already been scheduled three weeks earlier. As we talked, the President was as genuine, collaborative, and gracious with us as he has always been. When President Trump tweeted about the sorry state of downtown Baltimore, he wasn’t just pointing out the obvious fact that Baltimore is a city in decay. He was highlighting the lamentable fact that Representative Elijah Cummings, whose district has received millions of dollars for relief, yet still includes some of the worst areas of that city, has chosen to attack the President by making false claims about conditions at ICE detention facilities while ignoring his own constituents in Baltimore who face deteriorating living conditions, increasing crime rates, and declining economic opportunity. (It'd be nice to see this lady interviewed on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and maybe appearing on programs like The View... sure, that'll happen right after they have to shut down airports because all the flying pigs are a danger to planes taking off. --Del)
