    If I recall from the articles about this event. The pastor, who is black, invited Trump. In a funny twist as well, the former mayor of Detroit (also black) was there to speak about how great Trump is. Which is fine, except that Trump pardoned him at the end of his presidency because the man was convicted and guilty of: Obstruction of justice (x2), assault of a police officer, racketeering, tax evasion, extortion, mail fraud.

    However even at the event that Kilpatrick was attending with Trump, while singing his praises, didn’t endorse him.

      Leave it to a religious leader and the Mayor of Ballmer to overlook the needs of their audience by pandering to fascists…

      When has it been any different?

      A lot of anti-abortion black people (single issue voters) and wealthy capitalist/Democrats are the party of Dr King voters support him. The venn diagram overlap would be money.
