It should have been named the “Donner Party Dinner”.
More fitting for Democrats who eat their own.
The selection of Tom Perez as DNC chair over Ellison highlighted a real issue for blacks, and one that will enshrine Obama in Dem lore forever: Since Dems have to appease the more-numerous Hispanics, it must be done in such a way that it doesn’t turn off the reliable low-information black base - and the easiest way to do so is to endlessly praise the Kenyan Pirate. Didn’t work for Hillary in Pennsylvania, but they had to try; black voters in some key states denied her the White House, and Dems have to prevent a repeat of that fiasco.
