President Donald Trump is receiving credit for the peace accord in the Middle East. But, please tell me when he’ll negotiate peace for millions of Black Americans (“I was a loyal, lifelong Black Republican until Trump,” Sept. 15).

The president can negotiate peace half a world away, but he cannot negotiate peace by acknowledging systemic racism for Black Americans in this country. Why can’t he be a mature leader and recognize the fact that Black Americans need to have a brokered peace agreement and that we’re worth it?
