Sad news for white leftists in Philadelphia who want to support the Black Lives Matter movement by attending the group's meetings in person. According to BLM Philly, white people are banned from future gatherings and are not allowed to be official members of the organization because it is considered a “black only space.”

As the Daily Caller reports:

The April 15 meeting plans to discuss projects and initiatives for the upcoming year and act as a place for people to “meet, strategize and organize.” While children are invited to attend, white people are explicitly banned from the meeting, according to the Facebook event page.

When people began questioning the ban on whites over Twitter, Black Lives Matter Philly stayed by their ban, explaining that their meetings are “black centered.”

Anyone who identifies as “African disapora” is allowed to attend, the group explained over Twitter.

“If you identify as a person of the African Diaspora You can attend our meetings and become a member. If not you can support us in other ways,” Philly BLM said in a tweet. “African Disapora” usually refers to people who were taken out of Africa during the Transatlantic Slave Trades.

The group's Twitter feed (below) was as ridiculous as you'd think:

And If A Republican Had Said Anything Like This Against Obama, They Would Not Be In The House Any Longer.

Note to Donald Trump supporters: Maxine Waters is a bigger patriot than you are.

At least that’s what she thinks.

During a screed on the House floor Monday night, Waters played the race card and the patriotism card against supporters of the president.

“Mr. Speaker, my position against this president and his administration is clear. I oppose this president. I do not honor this president. I do not respect this president,” Waters said during a nearly 9-minute speech.

“African-Americans have struggled and fought historically, many African-Americans have paid a huge price fighting for justice and equality in this country, have died for it. I don’t have to call the names of Martin Luther King and all the others. We have paid a price, we have fought.

“But guess what? Despite the fact that America has not always been there for us, we’ve always been there for America. We have fought in America’s wars. We have suffered discrimination, we have suffered isolation and undermining. But we stand up for America, oftentimes when others who think they are more patriotic, who say they are more patriotic, do not,” Waters said.

“When we fight against this president, and we point out how dangerous he is for this society and for this country, we’re fighting for the democracy. We’re fighting for America. We’re saying to those who say they’re patriotic but they’ve turned a blind eye to the destruction that he’s about to cause this country, ‘You’re not nearly as patriotic as we are.’”

Waters made it clear her mission is not to represent her constituents, but destroy Trump.

The president “is not good for America,” she said.

“African-Americans know this. The Black Caucus understands this. And for those members of the Black Caucus representing our leadership, who went to meet with him, they have laid out to him all of this, what our care and concerns are all about. But in the final analysis, we really don’t expect anything from him.

“And my mission and my goal is to make sure that he does not remain president of the United States of America,” Water said.

King Family Disagrees With The Use Of Coretta Scott King's Words

Alveda King: Warren Using The King Name To "Play The Race Card"; Coretta Wanted To Bring People Together, Not Divide

Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said Sen. Elizabeth Warren is doing a bait and switch using the words of her deceased aunt and wife of MLK Jr, Coretta Scott King.

"If we take a look at my Aunt Coretta Scott King’s letter, we know that she was a peace maker," King said Wednesday on FOX Business. Her intentions were never to divide during her whole life. I was her communications and correspondence secretary for several years when I was a young women."

King said Sessions has worked to end school segregation and prosecute members of the KKK, things her aunt was for, and that Warren is using the remarks as a "bait and switch." King accused Warren of using the King name to "play the race card."

"In that letter, she would be referring to perhaps some of [Jeff Sessions] comments, however, she would agree today that he of course ended some school segregation, he worked to prosecute members of the KKK. Aunt Coretta was a very reasonable women and she, with integrity, would have noted that he had done some great work in fighting against discrimination…she had very strong opinions and concern for all Americans and perhaps people all of the world and I believe certainly that if she could look at the record of Senator Sessions today, with integrity, she would say 'well he has worked to prosecute the Ku Klux Klan, he has worked to desegregate public schools,' so it’s almost like a bait and switch, stir up their emotions, use the name King, and my name is Alveda King, play the race card."

"It is not dividing my family at all, we are taking a look at many things Ms. Coretta Scott King said, Martin Luther King Jr said, my dad Reverend A.D. King, but my family, we are peace makers, we bring people together Neil, we do not divide people," King said.

The Sharpton Apple Does Not Fall Far From The Tree

Al Sharpton’s Daughter Arrested Protesting at Trump Tower

As it turns out, Al Sharpton’s daughter is about as good at protesting as her father is at reading a teleprompter.

According to the New York Post, Ashley Sharpton, the oleaginous reverend’s daughter, was taken into custody during a protest that took place outside of Trump Tower in New York on Tuesday against the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.

Sharpton was arrested along with Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, whose death after an arrest in New York in 2014 became a focal point of anti-police protests throughout the country.

President Donald Trump, of course, was not present at the Trump Tower. And that’s not the only problem with their stunt. They were also guilty of dramatically overstating what it accomplished.

“In an act of civil disobedience and in the tradition of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Eric Garner’s mom and others were arrested tonight … over President Trump’s SCOTUS nominee Neil Gorsuch,” Rachel Noerdlinger, Sharpton’s spokeswoman, said in a statement.

Yeah, because as we know, Martin Luther King protested Supreme Court nominees he had a problem with. Right.

Besides being Garner’s mother, Carr is also the director of the Youth Huddle for Sharpton’s National Action Network, and it seems that a number of the others arrested outside Trump Tower were also Sharpton functionarieis.

According to the Post, they included “Minister” Kirsten John Foy, also of NAN; the Rev. Johnnie Green of Mount Neboh Baptist Church in Harlem; Katrina Jefferson, NAN NYC chapter liaison; the Rev. Kevin McCall of NAN; and NAN member Patrice Perry.

The arrests were yet another blemish in a particularly bad week for Sharpton. The reverend had been slammed after a tweet claiming that Jesus was a refugee, according to Breitbart.

Of course, all of this is only important if you take Sharpton seriously. I tend not to. After all, this is a man who mostly serves as comic relief in the larger political drama that is America.

Whenever Sharpton and his organizations start paying their taxes, maybe then I’ll listen to what he has to say.
