Pastor Darrell Scott wants the president to bring black artists and athletes to Washington for a dialogue about race.

The White House is exploring plans to host multiple summits on race between prominent athletes and artists and President Donald Trump, according to the outside adviser spearheading the effort.

Cleveland pastor Darrell Scott, one of the president’s most prominent black allies, says the idea of bringing in artists and athletes to hash out their differences with Trump has gotten a boost from last week’s lovefest between the president and Kanye West. Scott is set to meet Thursday with Trump at the White House about the summit proposal.

The plans remain preliminary and no dates have been set, though Scott expressed confidence the summits would go forward and that Trump would attend. “It’s going to be unscripted, unfiltered, blunt,” Scott said. “No topic is off the table.”

Scott – who works closely with Jared Kushner on prison reform and is spearheading a White House-backed plan to revitalize poor urban neighborhoods – is organizing the summit effort in conjunction with Andrew Giuliani, a top aide in the White House Office of Public Liaison who is also the son of former New York City mayor and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

1. Kanye can throw his career permanently down the tube then so...

go for it! I'm sure Kim won't remember the ugly things Trump has said about her, either, so it should work out just great for you.

2. Dumb and Dumber!

Don the Con teaming with CONye . . . What could go wrong?

3. there really is nothing to dialogue

Self respecting black people should steer CLEAR of the adminstration and White House. It's like Hilter hosting a Jewish summit.

Screw him. Any black person that rubs shoulders with Trump is a traitor to his own people. There's abundant evidence Trump is personally racist and also abundant evidence he relates with and EMBOLDENS racist groups. There's nothing to talk about. Get out of the White House and we'll put someone else in who isn't a disaster for black people. That's all that needs to be talked about.

Kanye is today's squirrel, just as Michelle Wolf was the weekend squirrel.

7. WTF?

Scott – who works closely with Jared Kushner on prison reform and is spearheading a White House-backed plan to revitalize poor urban neighborhoods – is organizing the summit effort in conjunction with Andrew Giuliani, a top aide in the White House Office of Public Liaison who is also the son of former New York City mayor and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

This right here is crazy shit.

In a summit on race relations with a bigot? What could possibly go wrong?
