Black members of Congress made sure they would be heard last night, even if President Donald Trump was doing all the talking.
Members of the CBC (Congressional Black Caucus) wore brightly colored yellow, green, black and red kente cloth accents to President Trump’s first State of the Union address, as a sign of defiance against his “sh*thole* comments about African and Caribbean countries.
“The whole idea was to show support for Africa, particularly after the President called Africa and Haiti s-holes,” said Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) in an exclusive interview with theGrio. “We thought it would be important for us to demonstrate our support in some way.”

Rings on their fingers
Bells on their toes
Bone in their nose
Ho Ho
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.
I guess I should have posted a (BARF ALERT) in the headline.
But seeing how this story was about the CBC and Mad Maxine - a barf alert would have been redundant.
Don’t they just look precious, with matching scarves?
african culture and black culture creates hellholes and losers
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 ??
Kind of like a Kunta Kente cloth or something? Did any of them “jump da broom” after President Trump’s address?
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.
I’d wear my leprechaun outfit...
Here I just assumed that they were dishcloths, and that they were just taking a break from helping out in the Congressional kitchen....
I’m a certified cracker and I am as “African” as any one of these poseurs.

Exactly. See my post 30.
These clowns could not give a damn about black Americans. All they wanted last night was to call attention to how sad, pathetic and miserable they are because Trump is the President.
Kente Cloths as a tribute to their shithole country’s heritage?
I think of what a white person would have to do - in effect- to show such a low-life and ignorant attitude.
Wearing a KKK robe and hood comes to mind. That is a fair contrast. Seriously
Where’s “Sheets” Byrd when we really need him?
Oh look, cultural appropriation!
Was it passed down from the family of Kunte Kente, the original
slave?
What a nice way of empathizing with how they live over there.

And how they want us to live here.
Symbols not substance.
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...
IOW, they were acting like sh!tholes.
What were the White Caucus wearing?
