Donald Trump was ridiculed Saturday after attending what his campaign called a Black roundtable at a Detroit church — with photos showing a largely white audience.

Trump’s campaign reached out to the 180 Church to set up the event at which attendees asked a handful of questions before bursting into a rendition of Happy Birthday.

The evangelical church is in the heart of Detroit’s west side and has a mainly Black congregation.

But photos caught by the media, and shared widely online, showed a lot of white people in the audience.

        This was deleted before I arrived. Can I hazard a guess that the ‘joke’ was something like ‘they identify as X’?

        X being black in this case

      This joke only makes sense to you because you have zero understanding of what is meant by people when they use this phrase. All you have to do is spend 30 mins or less listening to the perspective of the other side and you will have the context necessary to realize this “joke” is nonsensical.

      You won’t though.
