You're assuming their goal was to keep us out of debt and dumb wars. I happen to think debt and dumb wars were their goal, which means they are effective at advancing their awful political agenda.

In consideration of everything that's been going on in this country today a black caucus doesn't fit in anymore.

It even sound bad to have a label like that as we are all humans regardless of skin color.

Liberals want to allow neutral gender on a drivers license so a color would go against all of that.

I just want people to explain things they say. It helps to not take things out of context. I didn't know asking that person what they meant by that was going to be such a hot topic. I thought for sure that people as passionate as you guys could give a better effort.

Oh well, I do love me some fake outrage.

P.S. BET isn’t even black owned. It’s owned by VIACOM which is owned by white Jews. Viacom purchased BET in the early part of the 21st century.
Pretty sure white males are their largest viewing demographic

I guess I'll just wait for the person whom I originally posed the question to, maybe they can shed some light on it.
I didn’t try. That’s the point.

I see. So white politicians advancing a dumb agenda is great. But black politicians NOT being able to advance an equally stupid agenda is bad because they don’t look the part!

You’re a genius.

I’d rather you take it out of context than explain it to you.

How about that?

In the continent of Africa, black identity doesn't really exist. So if the African Americans knew their original cutures/ethnicities they wouldn't identify as black but as Yoruba, Igbo, Wolof, Ashanti etc.

Made me laugh! Totally agree. They are their own worst enemies.

That would be because you can't explain it. Nothing better than watching someone pussyfoot around explaining vague comments.
