This week, members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) held a press conference to highlight how Blacks are under assault in America. Examples cited by CBC Chairman Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev) included "Alabama's refusal to create a second majority-Black congressional district and Florida's new education guidelines requiring that students be told of the valuable work skills Blacks learned as slaves."
"It isn't only state level Republicans who are to blame," Horsford complained. "Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz) used the words 'colored people' to refer to Blacks and Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala) says it's okay for white nationalists to serve in the military."
Candidate for the Republican nomination for president Sen. Tim Scott (SC) said "while the CBC has raised some legitimate issues, when I heard the phrase 'blacks are under attack' I thought they were referring to the fact that while Blacks represent less than 14% of the population they are victims of more than 50% of the homicides. Sadly, 90% of the Blacks murdered are killed by other Blacks. Unfortunately, too many Democrats support the no-bail and defund the police policies that allow criminals to prey upon Blacks."
Horsford rejected Scott's stance and cited a recent Journal of the American Medical Association study that blamed "structural racism for Black-on-Black violence. Until we replace apologists for racism like Sen. Scott by electing more Black Democrats we cannot gain the political leverage to turn the tide against continued oppression of our race."
In related news, the "decriminalization" of shoplifting championed by Democrats around the country has led to a 90% increase in this crime over the past few years. These thefts aren't food swiped by starving poor people. They are a new wave of organized crime. In San Francisco, gangs exploit the city's aversion to enforcing laws against simple property crimes by stealing high-margin goods and selling them on the black market. This has prompted many retailers to leave the city. Mayor London Breed is unconcerned "because people can still buy from Amazon and have their purchases delivered." Unfortunately, theft of delivery packages from residential porches is also on the rise.

When the national association of COLORED people changes its name we can talk.
Cry me a river.....
My thoughts exactly.
Well said.
As Yahoo posts an article instructing blacks to attack whites for reparations.
I was born in the same hospital as Michael Jackson and I’ve had black friends since was about 3 feet tall and as a kid I couldn’t understand MLK saying that we should judge people by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin.
I thought DUH! Who would judge people on their color.
But in 4th grade the first black family moved into my town and I became friends with the daughter.
A few months later someone threw a molotov cocktail through their front window.
That’s when I began to understand we had people who judge by skin color.
MLK made major in roads to stop this crap.
Now we are trying to reinstate it!!
We are watching these people rise again. Sad. Very
Im sorry, but parsing and abusing English to say “person of color” to be better than “colored person” is a real stretch.
I will call them colored since they insist on the reversed phraseology.
IF we’re honest we’re all colored people.....just varying shades.
Would he be happy if they were murdered by whites?
