I knew there must have been some silly gimmick behind the Congressional Black Caucus putting on those scarves.

And so now I know.

FWIW

I thought they were wearing the kente cloth, to have a Kunta Kinte moment.

[Ann Archy]

That personified “ I’M AN IDIOT WHO HATES AMERICA”!!!

[Feckless]

Rates right up there with teaching young black kid “esteem” while failing to teach them respect or reading, math, etc...

[ilovesarah2012]

“In addition to kente cloth, members wore round red pins with the name “Recy” as a tribute to 97-year-old Recy Taylor of Alabama, who survived a gang rape by six white men in 1944 and never saw justice.”

This is Trump’s fault?

[Bogie]

Well, what are ya gonna do, a shit-hole is a shit-hole is a shit-hole.

[DakotaGator]

"The whole idea was to show support for Africa..."

All they accomplished was identifying themselves as enemies of America.

[TheConservativeParty]

‘Kente’? As in Kunta Kente? They are friggin’ racists!!!!

(sarcasm is both on and off)

[Kickass Conservative]

Please help me here. Were Durbin’s “recollections” of the Meeting verified by independent sources and / or President Trump and I missed it?

I didn’t see the word “alleged” used in the story.

[clintonh8r]

Effem. The ones who weren’t there, too.....

[originalbuckeye]

Wouldn’t it have been nice if they had decided to show solidarity with AMERICA? These phonies remind me of the ‘Dreamers’ who protest, carrying the Mexican flag and giving the cameras the bird.

[Susan360]

Don’t they just look precious, with matching scarves?

[mjp]

The whole idea was to show support for Africa,

african culture and black culture creates hellholes and losers

[tomkat]

Must've been a 'Whites Only' thing in force on the House floor, seeing as how all the CBC slaves were segregated in one area.

Their phony 'solidarity' is by turns hilarious and pathetic, along with those silly scarves, yo.
Where was it when the President mentioned the historically high black employment rate, and none of the racist fools would get off their hypocritical asses ??

[FlingWingFlyer]

Kind of like a Kunta Kente cloth or something? Did any of them “jump da broom” after President Trump’s address?

[DariusBane]

I too noticed that during the SOTU speech cloth from a shit-hole culture was being prominently displayed.

Now before I am called racists, let me just point out that in the African continent most places are literally covered in sewage. Shit holes.

[Aut Pax Aut Bellum]

Here I just assumed that they were dishcloths, and that they were just taking a break from helping out in the Congressional kitchen....

[windsorknot]

I’m a certified cracker and I am as “African” as any one of these poseurs.

[tennmountainman]

Was it passed down from the family of Kunte Kente, the original
slave?

[Pirate Ragnar]

Symbols not substance.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Ah, won’t stand for the flag to show support for the country they’re sent to congress to represent, but can drum up some gimmick to show support for Africa - amazing...
