“I know I’m in the presence of the community,” Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) said to a room of mainly Black women who gathered at Washington D.C.’s Walter E. Lee Convention Center on Wednesday for the first day of the 2019 Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Annual Legislative Conference. Her opening remarks helped to kick-off a powerful 3-hour event in which thought leaders, political leaders, and engaged citizens alike, convened to unpack the findings of the newest study conducted by Black Women’s Roundtable and ESSENCE Magazine.
Before digging into the research, Bass made it clear that going into 2020 Black women need to be focused on “getting it right,” (read: removing Donald Trump from his elected office). Based on the BWR x ESSENCE poll, 83 percent of Black women share Bass’ sentiments. That’s the percentage of them that said Trump gets an ‘F’ for his job as the commander-in-chief.
“You know that we know how to get it right,” Bass declared. “A few years ago some people couldn’t get it right.”
In 2016, an overwhelming 94 percent of Black women, according to exit polls, voted for Hillary Clinton to become the first woman POTUS. For Bass and the other panelists, which included ESSENCE Magazine’s News & Politics Director Yesha Callahan, and Melanie Campbell, convener of BWR, there is a very clear and obvious mission to make sure the person elected in November 2020 is one who will put the issues of Black women at the forefront of their agenda.
Bass, who serves as the current chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus said that having Trump in office poses an “existential threat to our planet.” She added that he’s “undoing legislation that we fought for for decades, and dismantling agencies.”

93% of black women don’t vote, so who gives a flying fk?
Surely they took the same “Poll” when Ovomit was pResident.
He did NOTHING for them and yet they voted for him again. Lemmings, all of them.
Who give an F what they think?
Coming from the people who start brawls every time McDonalds runs out of chicken McNuggets, perhaps it is time to give up and hope for the best with the next generation
Mell let me be the first to not give them a F what they or this fake news poll think.
I would have guessed that number would be higher as black females are quite liberal, generally speaking.
There are some conservative black females, but they are rare.
You can’t fix stupid
If even 10% of black women vote for President Trump that will doom the dimoKKKRAT nominee.
Hi.
I know a few Black women. They will vote for president Trump.
I know, anecdotal.
5.56mm
Groupthink is doubleplusgood!
Look on the bright side:
2016 94% voted for Hillary
2019 83% give Trump an F
Looks like we are making progress.
Cruel but accurate.
I do not believe this.
Black women are glad, as everyone else is, that their spouses and children and they can find good paying jobs, thanks to the Trump economy.
Blacks will never vote conservative or Republican in any meaningful numbers.
The Candance Owens are the outliers of the world.
Total waste of time and money vote court them. The victimology runs too deep
Hispanics will vote conservative
Any survey that is driven by a magazine is going to be liberal oriented completely. They probably only surveyed subscribers who are all going to be liberal. Essence and Ebony magazine are 100% leftist only. They would kind of be like Rolling Stone doing a poll call me white liberals would be polled.
Agreed. But what is a “thought leader” and how does a person go about getting that job?
That’s great. Traditionally the Black female is the most DEMOCRAT of all. That number pre Trump for a Republican was 97%!! This a BIG move to the right for this group. Welcome ladies.
Black women have jobs in record numbers right now. Should we then conclude from this (fake) poll that black women would be happier not having a job and collecting welfare?
“...thought leaders...”
Do they have like a special mantra they use?
