Donald J. Trump will take the next step in his religious outreach effort next week when he announces the endorsement of a group of 100 African-American pastors and religious leaders at his Manhattan headquarters.
The Republican presidential candidate has a private meeting with the group scheduled on Monday before they make their offer of support official, according to his campaign. The endorsement comes as Mr. Trump has faced criticism for stoking racial tension and has seen his support among evangelical Christians start to waver in polls as voters consider Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Ben Carson.
That tension was evident this week after an activist for the group Black Lives Matter was beaten at a Trump campaign rally, and the billionaire developer said that perhaps the activist deserved to be roughed up. Mr. Trump also angered some when he sent a Twitter message that appeared to play down the recent spate of incidents of police brutality against African-Americans.
However, Mr. Trump has held several meetings with black religious leaders this year as he looks to broaden his appeal, and it appears that he has closed the deal with some of them.
Darrell Scott, the pastor of the New Spirit Revival Center in Ohio, helped organize the coalition of religious leaders and said that after meeting Mr. Trump in person he was convinced that Mr. Trump was the candidate best suited to be president. He also said that the public portrayals of Mr. Trump as a racist and demagogue seemed unfounded after they spoke.
“I was looking for some subtle hints of racism,” Mr. Scott said. “I didn’t see it at all.”
Mr. Scott, who said he was a registered Democrat who had voted for President Obama, said that he had been impressed by Mr. Trump as a leader and that he liked his ideas for improving the economy. He said that when he closed his eyes and listened to all the candidates, he found Mr. Trump to be the most appealing.
Mr. Trump has struggled to connect with some social conservatives because of his flashy lifestyle and the fact that he has held liberal views on some issues. But Mr. Scott said that he found Mr. Trump to be humble before ? when they prayed together and that he had confidence in his faith.
The pastor said that Mr. Trump had not made any donations to his congregation. Other leaders who are scheduled to attend were not immediately available Friday to comment.
The group will gather at Trump Towers at 1 p.m. on Monday.

The Black Lives Matter protester attacked during Donald’s Trump’s Birmingham rally said he was punched, kicked and called “n****r” and “monkey” while a group of eight or nine people were on top of him…”
Trump’s response:
“Maybe he should have been roughed up, because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing,” Trump said on the Fox News Channel on Sunday morning. “I have a lot of fans, and they were not happy about it. And this was a very obnoxious guy who was a trouble-maker who was looking to make trouble.”
with "Black Leaders" like these, who needs Grand Wizards?

@skpjr78
Stick a fork in the west. I've been in abandon ship mode for the last 5 years. So this latest dog and pony show is of no consequence to me because I can care less.
There are bigger fish to fry such as:
1. Working out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
2. So that you will be prepared to meet ? on the cloudy day
3. Preaching the gospel
4. Sounding the alarm
5. Loving my neighbor as i do myself
Do you know Him @skpjr78?
For behold the day of the Lord cometh quickly! Blessed are all those who are found in Him when the trumpet blows! Amen. -
Like Bob Marley said, "emancipate yourself from mental slavery"...Religion has such a stronghold on the oppressed, we're still enslaved to it. Regardless of the situation good or bad, you see ? in a circle praying to some white ? ? continues to bless ? .

It's called sounding the Alarm! You got to get your house in order before ? takes out the plumb-line to see if your foundation can withstand His indignation!
Are you ready for the plumb line of ? to inspect your house @2stepz_ahead?
For thus saith the LORD,
"7Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
8And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:" Amos 7:7-8
