Black Caucus Democrats are planning to walk out during Netanyahu’s speech on the security of Israel. The move was reportedly planned after communications with the Obama White House.
In response to this outrageous act, conservative black ministers are holding a press conference to show their support for the Israeli Prime Minister. Urban Cure reported:
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu will address a joint session of congress on March 3rd, and in a political move, leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus are planning to skip the speech in protest of Speaker John Boehner’s invitation to Netanyahu to do so. While the Congressional Black Caucus claims it has “consistently been the voice for people of color,” it seems this brazenly political move couldn’t be further from the voice of black Christians in America.
The Center for Urban Renewal and Education and leaders of the black Christian community will come together to voice their support for Israel and welcome Prime Minister Netanyahu as he addresses Congress. A press conference will be held at the National Press Club on Thursday, February 26, 2015 to address these concerns.

Why are they walking out, no room at the Counter?
What's new?
Let them skip it. The majority of the Black Caucus is so race-centric, they would not be listening to Netanyahu anyway. Same with the Dems too. Go away and stay away! Leave the adults alone for a while to speak of serious matters.
It only reflects poorly on them.
What are the rules on making contributions to Bibi’s campaign?
If it were me, I would prefer it that way.
Cult of Subud.

So now we see the real RACIST party in action.
So the US is going to let Iran get the bomb to stabilize the world situation by making everybody equal. Because it’s so unfair that the US runs the world. O-KAAAAYYY.
Just a bunch of muzzie sympathizers.
That's a 19th century concept. Those skunks don't care about reputation. They want to be the smelly dead vermin in the wall.
Skipping it is bad enough, walking out in the middle of the speech is a very pointed insult. Why?
What a bunch of lowlifes.
Especially amazing that they would pull this in light of the fact that Israel is pretty much the go to place for African refugees and in fact probably has more of them per capita than any other nation on earth, When “Palestinian” activists droned on about how much they have in common with black Americans, I guess they really bought it.
Yes it is, because whether they like it or not, Netanyahu is the leading figurehead for Jews world-wide.
Here is a minority group, that is going to walk out on the leader of a minority group.
They ought to be hanging their heads in shame. That they don’t grasp this speaks volumes.
Sadly, many Blacks are lost in America.
As evidenced by the Black Ministerial group, there are some who truly get it. I respect them for that.
These last few years I am constantly reminded of an off color joke I heard.
“We should have picked our own damn cotton”
Between Affirmative Action, BET, the Black Caucus, adnauseum, I’ve had my fill of the racist blacks in this country.
So tell me again, who are the racists?
It will still be packed. GOP staffers will be filling the empty seats.
“Black Caucus Democrats are planning to walk out during Netanyahu’s speech on the security of Israel. The move was reportedly planned after communications with the Obama White House.”
Stupid, disrespectful, and low-class, but not really important in the scheme of things, IMHO. The CBC is one of the most leftist voting blocs in the entire Congress. It’s unlikely they were going to listen to anything BN had to say in the first place. They might have booed him, or interrupted him, but they weren’t going to listen to him.
So, my feeling is, let them make their classless and pointless little demonstration. It only makes them look like fools and Obama look that much weaker for having his political surrogates pull this stupid stunt. Netanyahu will still get his chance to speak about Israel’s fears, and what he sees coming with Iran. And the rest of us will be listening, and taking notes.
