Ivanka Trump's Black History Month Tweet Sparks Outrage

During #BlackHistoryMonth, we celebrate heroes like Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who were sojourners for freedom – and we resolve to continue to bring greater equality, dignity, and opportunity to all Americans, regardless of race or background.

Did Ivanka just make #BlackHistoryMonth about ALL Americans? What is wrong with her? Plus, did she use "sojourners" in the correct context 🤔

NO ONE takes you seriously on this. 🤪You're just embarrassing yourself.

Oh please. Your Dad is destroying this country and you sit back and watch it happen. You have no right speaking such honorable names. Stop Ivanka

I do not understand why you are here and how you can make statements about Black history month and women while you are being complicit to a man who cares about neither.

Is this a joke?

Are you serious? Do you know who your dad is? I’m interested in what you’ll say when it’s Hispanic heritage month.

As long as they don’t practice their right to protest and free speech, right?

Is that why your dad posted alt-right anti-Muslim videos? pic.twitter.com/hz7hYrofBu
