“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.”

17% of the black vote is big. You know the black men will go for him at a higher rate.
There is the "gibsmedat" subculture (not all black) who will never willingly work for "the man". They are annoyed at not having a poor economy to blame for their idleness.
“...from the people who start brawls every time McDonalds runs out of chicken McNuggets...”
Forget McDonalds brawls. Ghettopotamus brawls in Chuck E. Cheese, Cici’s Pizza, and Denny’s are of much higher quality in terms of participation and technique.
Some even appear to be choreographed and should be viewed in slow motion for their elegance and grace.
;^)
I give 83% of ‘black’ women an “F” as Americans and patriots.
Only 83%? I would bet that that is an improvement over GWB.
I keep thinking Biden....And for VP?? Looks like he’d have to pick Harris to get that black block.
I give 100% of that 83% a big fat
83 Percent of Black Women Give Donald Trump An ‘F’ As President
11% drop, not bad, considering..................
When you’ve lost Shenequa...
Almost 20% of Black women like President Trump???
That’s terrific!!
Well; I guess that means 83% of black women are total freakin’ idiots without the smallest clue.
I think I kinda knew that already though...
“I know I’m in the presence of the community...”
“The community”...there’s a codeword if there ever was one!
I am not so sure about blacks living in rural areas or smaller cities. Certainly your observations are correct for inner city blacks, male and female.
As I recall President Trump saw an increase in black male votes (for those not living in the inner cities) in 2016.
Chris Rock once said Black women were the most racist people in America.
<< They know the economy and black unemployment have improved under this president. >>
Improved significantly. They SHOULD know, but I doubt many do.
I can tell you what it is. Racism.
WHat are they mad now that their Baby Daddy has even less time to EF around with Dem now that he’s WORKING?-)
Yes. Definitely making progress.
My first thought was.... only 83%
The poll is not fake. This group is among the most brainwashed in America, and that is saying something.
The welfare queens.
