Black Americans are under attack, say members of CBC

Black Americans are under attack, members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) said Thursday, arguing that a slew of efforts from Republicans across the country are an assault on their rights.

“Black people are under attack in America, but we are not victims and we are not powerless,” CBC Chairman and Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) said at a Thursday press event from the Capitol.

“Our fundamental rights are under assault and our very history is being denied. But we will not stand by quietly as it happens. We will never give up when so many people are counting on us to fight for them.”

What upsets the CBC is there are more and more black elected officials that most often don’t agree with the CBC, therefore they are desperate to appear relevant before they are obsolete. All the most notable newest black elected officials are Republicans and Conservative.

If that were actually the case, there wouldn’t be so many at this point, and the remaining would stay in line. It’s just another leftist lie.

The CBC is made up entirely of Democrats. This is more propaganda.

Way back in Africa it was the norm for tribes to fight other tribes. Things haven’t changed.

Seems to me if you do not want to be a victim and you are not powerless, you would be taking action... if you were really under attack. Of course it's much easier to cry that you are a victim and are under attack... and do nothing. If I were black, I'd be asking myself 'what has the CBC... and the Dem Party as a whole... done to improve the lives of blacks in this country? And my answer would be... NOTHING. Further, I would not rely on the CBC and the Dem Party... FOR ANYTHING.

Rep Horsford’s wife agrees. She will probably be partially responsible for the raising of Horsford’s baby mama, when all is said and done.

This is just complete, bloviating horse sh!t, IMO. It just doesn’t happen as they portray. Instead when someone black starts making a fuss about crap, most people just try to get away from them. Don’t need the hassle or the BS.

“We recognize a lot of black people are leaving the plantation, so now we must turn up the volume on everything being racist to pull them back in line.”

For many, it’s too late.

Listen up, Skippy. If black people were under attack you’d know it.

And you wouldn’t be able to stand around complaining about it. You’d be running for your lives.
