Well, that pretty much sums up the uselessness of the CBC. It wasn’t as if they served a vital purpose anyway other than to encourage Black folks to vote Democrat year in and year out.
And what do the brothers and sisters in the community get for their 90% loyalty rate? Nothing? The problems that affect the community are the sane or worse for the past 50 years. (See the public schools systems controlled by Democrats and the Teachers union)
The Hill
Unhappy members of the Congressional Black Caucus “probably would be marching on the White House” if Obama were not president, according to CBC Chairman Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.).
“If [former President] Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching on the White House,” Cleaver told “The Miami Herald” in comments published Sunday. “There is a less-volatile reaction in the CBC because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president.”
CBC members have expressed concern in recent months as the unemployment rate has continued to rise amongst African-Americans, pushing for Obama to do more to address the needs of vulnerable communities.
“We’re supportive of the president, but we getting tired, y’all,” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said in August. “We want to give [Obama] every opportunity, but our people are hurting. The unemployment is unconscionable. We don’t know what the strategy is.”

I’ve been accused of talking down to the African American community. But, I see no reason to sugarcoat reality. Until the day African Americans say to the Democrat Party that our votes are no longer guaranteed, then the conditions will remain the same in their neighborhoods. That would be a good first step in reaching political maturity.
