Black Caucus rejects Trump invitation for WH meeting
The Hill ^ | June 21, 2017 | John Bowden

Posted on 06/21/2017 4:33:24 PM PDT by EveningStar

The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) on Wednesday rejected President Trump's invitation for the 49-member group to join him at the White House for a meeting, citing his unresponsiveness on previous attempts at policy engagement as proof that Trump isn't interested in working with the members beyond a photo op.

You are too worried about what the CBC does.

If we would take care of our own homes and families, and not allow our children to set foot in the socialist government schools, most of our social pathologies would disappear within a generation. The CBC would be an anachronism to laugh at. The moral, conservative, Christian pro-freedom pro-liberty caucus would have a majority, and most poor minorities (and the rest of us) would be too busy working at good-paying jobs to bother with these Marxist clowns.

I don’t want a black caucus or a white caucus.

Sadly, were stuck with the former and President Trump is stuck with a damned if he does - damned if he doesn’t situation.

The CBC are lying leftist slimeballs.

If you really want a white caucus, you don’t belong on a conservative forum.

As long as there is a black caucus there should be a white caucus.

What are they afraid of? They do not want to help their constituents.

He is 100% conservative, he always was. I grew up in NYC and knew him since the 1970s. When he doesn’t seem conservative its because he is playing politics which is what he is doing now. He is completely by himself against this government, against the rats and RINOs he is setting up his chess moves, and when he is in place he is going to DESTROY these slimebags who have caused so much damage against this country. Look at the past few days: Nancy Pelosi is finished, she is gone. He is going point by point. I posted on Freep the same day Trump announced he was running for POTUS that he never loses, EVER. I don’t know how he does it, but he never loses. He’s brilliant. It’s only 5 months, wait till the end of the year, and he’s got 4. I’m predicting a unified Korea and the Clintons in jail

WHERE IS THE WHITE CAUCUS?

**************

There shouldn’t be a black, white, brown, etc. caucus but
rather an American Caucus for all of us to work together to
make our country greater.

Trump is the key to redevelopment of the inner cities and these idiots don’t want him to succeed.

He should pick one or two black representatives an funnel jobs and development money to their areas. Needs to be place which isn’t governed by dems.

Here is a POTUS who has met with a world leader virtually once a week, since he has been in office.

Their vaunted Obama, didn't meet with a world leader until Feb. 19 '09, when he went and met with Harper of Canada.
Then Feb. 24 Taro As of Japan visited the WH.

Trump met with Theresa May Jan 27 at the WH.
Feb. 10-12 with Shinzo Abe at the WH.
Justin Trudeau Feb. 13 at the WH
Bibi Netanyahu at the WH on Feb. 15-16
Pedro Pablo Kuczynski on Feb 24 at the WH.

March 16, Enda Kenny at the WH
March 17, Angela Merkel at the WH
March 20, Haider al-Abadi at the WH.
March 30, Lars Lokke Rasmussen
April 3, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi
April 5, King Abdullah II
April 6-8 Xi Jinping

Then of course there is this headline from June 10
President Trump signed more bills into law than his four predecessors: report

He's been too busy to meet with the CBC.
Obviously, they feel everyone should stop whatever they are doing and kiss their a$$#$.

Trump should now invite leaders from the different congressional districts that are represented by the black caucus to get input on what those different non elected leaders think need to be done in there communities....this should be done very public and Trump should be candid about wanting to work with these congressman but because of there unwillingness to represent there own constituent he was forced to look beyond these individuals to start working on the needs of these communities.... he should then give a second invitation to meet in three months about the needs of the communities.

Couldn’t agree more and that was the only point I was trying to make. I don’t appreciate being told I don’t belong on this forum. NO I don’t want any caucus - this is America but if the blacks feel it is necessary then the whites should be EQUAL.

I don’t know that they are too dumb. No one could do less for the black communities than the dims and if the Black Caucus had any weight with the party and wanted things to be accomplished some progress in black communities would have been made by now.

I think the black caucus is just like most of the other congress critters...concerned with their own wealth and power, others not so much.
