So says the CBC. Obama is the racist. Must be his mothers side.
“Congressional Black Caucus offices have had numerous phone calls from constituents questioning why none of the new appointees will be able to speak to the unique needs of African Americans,” Fudge continued. “Their ire is compounded by the overwhelming support you’ve received from the African American community. As you continue choosing your critical advisors, we want to stress the importance of ensuring every community has a seat at the table. The absence of diverse voices leads to policies and programs that adversely impact African Americans.”Attorney General Eric Holder, appointed in Obama’s first term, remains the Obama administration’s only black Cabinet-level appointee. According to a Politics365 analysis released last week, that’s the fewest by any president over the last 38 years.
Earlier this year, the White House faced scrutiny over an alleged lack of diversity among Obama’s inner circle. Those questions have intensified with Obama’s senior-most Cabinet nominations, including former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) for Defense secretary, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) for secretary of State and Chief of Staff Jack Lew for Treasury secretary.
President Bush appointed five black cabinet members - Collin Powell and Condalezza Rice(Secretary of State), Rod Paige(Secretary of Education), Alphonso Jackson(HUD Secretary), and Eric (place)Holder(acting Attorney General).

The OP is salty because blacks aren't complaining about it. But of course, if we complain, then we're whiners.
It's the double standard, if this was a white President you'd never hear the end of it.
