The Collective PAC, according to its website, is a federally registered political action committee. “45 years after Congresswoman Shirley Chisolm’s historic Presidential Campaign & the National Black Political Convention, our 45th President is threatening the progress we’ve made. Join our campaign to recruit, train, fund and elect 45 progressive black candidates in 2017 & 2018,” the organization’s website reads.

The organization’s website asks those interested to donate to candidate running for various political offices, from Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum’s gubernatorial race in Florida to former NAACP boss Ben Jealous’ campaign for Governor of Maryland.

Virtually every candidate The Collective PAC has featured on its website is running or ran campaign as a Democratic candidate.

I'm really confused. Why would an article combine discussion of a PAC with a Funny or Die video?

OP has a problem with them promoting black leadership. The video has a message with a tinge of satire.

"Funny or Die and The Collective PAC have launched a new fundraising campaign to "Reclaim Black Friday," hoping to use the day to support black politicians."

Got it - thanks.

Probably not the best example of co-branding I've seen. Not that a PAC is a brand, but you get my drift. I think a lot of people are going to be confused and think it's a joke. Or just think it's a joke without the confusion.

I'm completely neutral on the PAC.

Every nonprofit in the US is beginning its final end-of-the-year fundraising effort. My mail boxes - snail and electronic - are beginning to fill up with pitches. I think this is rather clever pitch myself. YMMV of course.

Statistics show with educational curriculum testing, very few black Americans are smart enough to achieve a leadership role in society. Look at the ones in leadership positions... They lied to get where they are and lie to stay in power. Show me some that aren't corrupt.
