#1 ....missed opportunity for the real estate mogul to respond to recent problems between law enforcement and the African-American community.

I doubt you would have liked his response Mr. Brooks. Besides, he'll no doubt gain more respect and voter share by not pandering to your separatist cult organization. Give his time slot to the Beest. She'll tell you what you wish to hear.

#2 Why would he want to address an arm of the Donk party? It's always been stupid (as in the Stupid Party) to play their game. Another reason Trump garnered so many votes. It's not racist (but count on the usual suspect to play that card), its 'why waste your time' on people who by the very name of their organization is 'Colored People', which by the Left's own rule on definitions is racist.

#3 a missed opportunity for the real estate mogul to respond to recent problems between law enforcement and the African-American community

A rather restrictive agenda, no?

#4 the explanation given was that (the Republicans) are holding their convention at the same time.

Dear Mr. Brooks, It would be interesting to chat with your 1950's organization about why black people kill each other at such an astounding rate, but Mr. Trump is busy running for, like, President and stuff.

#5 Good job, guys. Make the invitation for a time when you know he can't be there and then act all butt hurt because he can't be there.

#6 no doubt they would've been civil and let him speak without interruption or "activities", right?

F*&% them. They represent the Dem racial arsonists, not the smart individuals who escaped their plantation-mentality

#7 Claims from the media that he refused because he's racist in 1... 2... 3...

NAACP - even their name is racist.

#8 I'm not a real fan of T-Rump.

However.... Recently, the speeches and his personnel picks have gotten much better.

If he does pick really good people to surround himself with, it could be a good sounding board that will keep him contained.

He has done what I wanted him to do so far.

He is a Leader. He may not be a good one but it's worth watching.

#9 NAACP - even their name is racist.

I always liked the name - it's delightfully anachronistic. Generals fighting the last war and all.

Although, if I were me, I'd spell it "Coloured" to add just a touch of the ol' British Raj.
