The Donald Trump campaign was reportedly denied access to a Greensboro, North Carolina civil rights museum, allegedly because they couldn’t meet the campaign’s list of requests, which begs the question, who are the real racists here?
Earl Jones, the director of the International Civil Rights Center and Museum said he was contacted by the Trump campaign last weekend with the request, according to CBS local affiliate WFMY News 2.

Jones said that the campaign requested thew visit for Tuesday, to coincide with Trump’s speaking engagement that day at High Point University, located at nearby High Point, North Carolina.
The request was denied for purely subjective reasons.
“We did not honor the request of the Donald Trump team because we thought they demonstrated, in their approach was disrespectful, so therefore we did not grant that request,” Jones said.
Jones claimed that the Trump staff members requesting the visit were rude and demanded a five-hour window that the museum be closed.
“The approach, the type of disrespect, pretty much a demand and bullying us to use the museum in their manner and their way in their time, it was inappropriate and I think it’s probably reflective of the type of insensitivity of civil rights and human rights that’s reflective from Trump over the years,” said Jones.
He added that he believed the request wasn’t sincere.
What was really behind Jones’ denial?
@BlackNerdJade @thehill spokesperson said Trump requests were expectedly “insensitive to civil and human rights” …what’s that all about?

@BlackNerdJade Not even close to being a “civil and human rights” violation.

Jones said that if the Hillary Clinton campaign had made the same demands they would be denied.
Deny Clinton? People weren’t so sure.
@CastlePigly they wouldn’t deny Cllinton surely you are not that Naive?

And the irony of a civil rights museum discriminating against a particular candidate was as thick as molasses, and wasn’t lost on anyone.
@thehill “Civil rights; the rights of citizens to political and social freedom and equality”. Hypocrites.

@thehill The irony of this act of discrimination is thick. They can make excuses all day, but the reality is they are discriminating. Sad.

@thehill @realDonaldTrump Pretty solid proof of who the real racists are in this Country.
