March 1, 201610 yr Donald Trump ordered Secret Service agents to remove a number of black students from his Georgia rally on Monday evening, according to The Des Moines Register. Before Trump spoke in Valdosta, Ga., about 30 black students who were quietly standing on the top of the bleachers were told to leave the GOP front-runner’s event. Those students complied and were escorted by the Secret Service outside, where they were told they needed to vacate the area of the rally.

March 1, 201610 yr Author Does anyone find this just a wee bit disconcerting if there is a President Trump? Just askin' ....
March 1, 201610 yr We need to proceed with caution until there is proof of who demanded these students leave.
March 1, 201610 yr If they were there with intent to distrupt, then no big deal. Ask others who were distrupted by BLM, I bet they wish they had them removed before it became a circus. Has Hiilary had anyone removed
March 1, 201610 yr I find it hard to believe that a candidate who wants to be elected POTUS would remove a group of young people because of their skin color. If there were legitimate indications that they were going to interrupt with a protest, then one cannot blame him. If this is indeed the case, then they were not removed because of their skin color but because of their actions (in this case, anticipated). However, if he had "black" people removed because of their skin color then, yes, it is disturbing. There is so much to be disturbed about with Trump any way. I don't need this incident as a reason to stay away from Trump.
March 1, 201610 yr Bad form if there was no protest. Trump does have a policy that protesters at his rallies are to be removed.
March 1, 201610 yr Mane SF sure can mine good reliable unbiased info . Its almost like its privy to the web sites he visits . Almost .
March 1, 201610 yr The students were told to hit the road by Trump or his security detail because they were "guilty of being black" at a NASCAR political rally.
March 1, 201610 yr The fact that I have seen no mention of this on TV, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, or Instagram makes me think its untrue/taken far, far out of context.
March 1, 201610 yr The fact that I have seen no mention of this on TV, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, or Instagram makes me think its untrue/taken far, far out of context. Google "Valdosta and black students and Trump" ... then take your pick of scores of stories on this incident.
March 1, 201610 yr Google "Valdosta and black students and Trump" ... then take your pick of scores of stories on this incident. Ill go with USA Today: "http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/02/29/donald-trump-georgia-rally-valdosta/81129964/" quote from the article: "The police chief said he thinks the Trump staff made the right call — and it wasn’t a racial issue."

Interesting quote. If this wasn't a racial issue, then what was it? Were similar groups of white students also asked to leave the rally? These Trump rallies are a powder keg waiting to explode. Just a matter of time.
