*On the heels on Kanye West‘s appearance on “TMZ Live,” the White House is considering multiple summits on race relations between prominent athletes, artists and President Trump, according Cleveland based pastor, Darrell Scott, an to the administration on all things black, so to speak.

Scott, one of Trump’s most prominent black allies, says sitting down with artists and athletes to hash out their differences with Trump was prompted by Kanye West’s open love affair with Trump. Scott is set to meet Thursday with Trump at the White House about the summit proposal.

According to Politico, 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.”

Oh yeah, we’ll see about that one.

In any event, 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.

Rev. Darrell Scott, a Trump supporter, will host the Republican presidential nominee at his Cleveland Heights church on Monday, according to the church’s website.

Here’s more from Politico:

Giuliani referred questions to the White House press office, which did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Organizers are considering holding an athletes summit sometime between the end of the NBA finals around mid-June and the beginning of NFL training camp in late July, Scott said. A separate summit for artists could happen even sooner.

Scott said the summits would be open to artists and athletes of all backgrounds and political persuasions. He added that “of course” West would be invited and that he was in the process of reaching out to the artist through an intermediary.

Trump praised West online last week after the artist tweeted: “You don’t have to agree with Trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother.”

Scott said former Cleveland Browns fullback Jim Brown, a Trump supporter, would be invited to the athletes summit, along with basketball Hall of Famer Elvin Hayes and boxer Evander Holyfield. Brown, Hayes and Holyfield did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

In conclusion, Scott said he hopes interested parties will reach out to him about attending and speculated that many vocal critics of Trump would avoid the chance to engage directly with the president.

Oh, you think so. We’ll see about that. This could be verrrry interesting.
