John Hope Bryant, successful self-made businessman and founder of the nonprofit Operation HOPE, says business and political leaders are ignoring the one force that could truly re-energize the stalled American economy: the poor. If we give poor communities the right tools, policies, and inspiration, he argues, they will be able to lift themselves up into the middle class and become a new generation of customers and entrepreneurs.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee Honors KKK Grand Wizard With Proclamation
huffpost.com
The day of observation calls on Tennesseans to honor Nathan Bedford Forrest, a slave-owning war criminal and Klan grand wizard.2 hours ago
Alright Trolls...who is going to say “what about Chicago” first?
I read that he was required by law to issue the proclamation. Is that true?
Joe this is getting completely out of hand. We knew, of course, that folks think this way. Now they feel free to say it out loud in their capacity as a public official.
Happy Belated Nathan Bedford Forrest Day, Joe!😂😂😂😂😂
Someday, maybe it will sink in and Black people, in general, will finally begin to realize that White people love and support each other regardless of their social or political affiliations. Sure, some of us become frustrated with the way things are, and we turn on each other despite the triviality of a given situation, but we need to change. That is what other people are counting on, us hating on each other.
This day n age that don't wear them hoods.. They were them maga hats. Fucking sicking
😱😳 Why TN (my birth state). Why????? I thought you were finally beginning to see the bright light!!😡
Since the Dominant Society likes to re-enact history I wonder what it'd be cool to reenact Nat Turner or John Brown revolt?
Really Tennessee ??? Really????
This too will pass.......especially if people get out and vote this nonsense out of extistence.
Bill Lee is an admirer of the treasonous confederates. He may have close ties to the klan too. "Lee entered Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama in 1977 and graduated in 1981[6] with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.[5] In college, Lee was a member of the Kappa Alpha Order, a fraternity known at the time for its use of Confederate imagery, and a photo printed in the university's 1980 yearbook shows Lee wearing a Confederate military uniform at the fraternity's "Old South" party.[7] In 2019, after his attendance came to light, Lee expressed regret for his participation: "I never intentionally acted in an insensitive way, but with the benefit of hindsight, I can see that participating in that was insensitive and I've come to regret it."[6]"
Hell ain’t half full yet. His master Satan awaits. He will chain the Governor to Nathan Bedford Forrest so that they can spend eternity together.
Bill Lee is one of his members, if by no means, other than spirit.

The bigger question is what are big businesses going to do about it?
Do you get a paid day off of work? If so, have the blackest block party possible, celebrating local black leaders that make a difference. Invite the media, go live, and make sure no violence erupts. Take their day and make it your day.

It’s Tennessee what else do you expect
And the President has begun telling non whites to get out ....for this who did not see this coming....read Hitler’s Rise in your history books. Bigger damn problems than proclamations
File suit if one dime of public money is used just a thought
Another example of what happens when you elect the son of a KKK leader to be the USA President . Next they will be honoring James Earl Ray for killing MLK .

trump is not a fine person, trump Is a Racist. If You Still Support Him, So Are You.
Can you imagine if President Obama said to go back to Poland, or Ireland, or Greece, or whatever white European country your ancestors left?
I would denounce it! And Republicans would have a fit. That's what President Trump has done.
Trump's most openly racist rhetoric yet is not at all surprising
cnn.com
The most shocking thing about Donald Trump's racist tweets is that possibly the most fundamentally un-American outburst of modern presidential rhetoric did not come remotely as a surprise.3 hours ago
It is time that our country rise up as a nation and say enough. We through the election process have and did elect these 4 ladies of color and with hope we will elect many more. My question to any of you reading this comment is where's the Ethics Committee and wouldn't it be the responsibility of that board to ensure that the president and other leaders as well as government officials operate and maintain a respected level conversational speaking.
none of the radical women in congress came to America on slave ships and NONE of them are American slave descendants - they are riding the slavery lineage coat tail - all of them are privilege - one of them ONLY Got here Less than 30 years and no racism oppression no adversity stop her from sitting in the house of congress as we can see --- That is what I call Privilege life
I disagree. Every one is focusing on... "go back" and not on... "help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it's done." If you focus on two words, yes you can force others to believe it's racist.
He is repeating the words that so many of them will love ❤️ to say, they love those type of sentences.
I don’t understand why Nancy Pelosi, at least, don’t start an impeachment inquiry... that RACIST, on Pennsylvania Avenue has this country on edge daily. No rest until he has crawled back in his cave!
satan and his demons are NOT GOING TO SPEAK out against his own. Read John 8: 44 -47. The devil is its father and its going to be obliged to speak and do the devil will. 😞😞😞😞
It’s obvious that this president isn’t going to conform to the Americans idea of a leader to be looked up to, and promote family values and togetherness, but instead, he’s taking up back to Jim Crow ideas and behavior, which causes division amongst the different Races of people. It’s high time to vote him out of office or Impeach his Rump...
Don't forget Trump's grandfather was not allowed back in Germany his homeland wanted no part of him
And yet Congress, in their infinite wisdom, does absolutely nothing to condemn the behavior. Pitiful. Just pitiful!
he is a DISGRACE to this Country and everybody else that agree with him. he doesn't even respect himself. SAD
This is a reality tv show for sure. 45 wants to be king, not the President. He does not know how to govern. But what he is doing is peddling in hate and planting seeds of violence. Violence that is already showing up around the country. I
I guess I should tell my next-door neighbor (who happens to be a good guy), "Go back to Scotland!"
The SILENCE is Deafening! The worst type of Racism is the type that is Ignored, not Confronted, or held Accountable!
Joe Madison this is a shell game that 45 is running on the core news media. We need to stop giving coverage to his foolishness. It is a distraction and is not of value in addressing issues. It is good for headlines but after we finish being a appalled he has further galvanized his core supporters. If the major networks got together and collectively stopped reporting on 45’s nonsense (tweets, racist rants and immigrant slurs)people could focus on real issues. We are fully aware of who he is. I am no longer shocked by anything he does. Fox is not going to report on anything that makes 45 look bad so the shell game would be stopped. We gotta stop falling for his game.
Exactly what you expect to hear from any run of the mill racist. If your skin has any amount of melanin, you cant possibly be American. The very core of racism.
This is what they use to say to black people protesting for civil rights..Unbelievable! One thing the Clown is good at, he continues to out do himself on a regular basis with such ass hole remarks...But, it also tells you about the group of Americans who support this guy..
Sadly... the Florescence of some people skin and the fear that they have on being treated the way they overlook others mistreatment isn’t surprising at all... I read that silence is a form of consent !!!
Blacks are not surprised at what Trump said! Most blacks have been told to "go back to Africa" or "if you don't like it leave the country." Trump is speaking for his base of supporters! How many times have you heard them say that Trump speaks for them! I don't know why the media is making such a fuss because they know Trump is not saying anything that haven't been said before and often! It is here on FB all the time! I was told just a few days ago, when I spoke on something I disliked, to leave the country!
Not alarmed at all....he's getting away with it from the mealy-mouth Republicans, so he's gone to push the envelope farther, just watch and listen.
They LOVE him because he’s a openly racist and deep down most of them are too, that’s why they don’t say ANYTHING
Trump must have forgotten his wife and in laws is not Americans and also his ex wife. I call for impeachment. Republicans party are afraid of orange hair
The European countries wouldn’t take them back, not to mention they wouldn’t fit it.
Hmmm...perhaps we should consider the horrible things these ladies have said to and about the President. They are not little innocent little peaches who have never been aggressive or hateful themselves. Just a thought.
Just a distraction. Somebody got arrested in New York recently, and the prosecutor has pictures and names. Oh has Muller testified yet? 😳🤔
lol, this is what I've been saying this whole morning. It is actually racists to say that Trump is limited to what he can say based off someone's skin color. By your comment you are saying that if Obama would have said it about white people you would have been mad but you didn't address if he would have said it to the same people Trump did. You are saying that people are treated differently based on differences in skin color which is the foundation of racism. Why don't people see this?
