Congressional Black Caucus getting more Toxic

More toxic political garbage from the Congressional (FOX) Caucus

I guess African American bloggers such as Mirror on America and others will be called "Liberal Activists" again as we continue to report and post on the stupidity of the Congressional FOX Caucus.


Let's go backwards a number of months when twenty-six members of the Congressional Black Caucus signed letters and sent them to Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (DN.Y.) and former Sen. John Edwards (DN.C.) urging them to reconsider their decisions to skip the event.

The CBC also known as the Congressional FOX Caucus
claimed the debates will be an opportunity to "help educate African Americans and others on key issues of national policy. Whatever!!

Hat Tip
: Afro-netizen.com and dnA for the list of CBC members who signed the letter.


Well, the Congressional Black (Fox) Caucus leadership is dropping more (excuse the language) toxic political poop on America's black communities, and based on African American blogger comments we not feel'n good about it.

Unfortunately, Sen. Joseph Biden, former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel, and Rep. Dennis Kucinich have agreed to join in on the poop event. Many African American bloggers, thought it may be over, the CBC would give up.

It's not over as far as the Congressional Black Caucus is concerned. As reported by politico.com, prometheus6, Jack and Jill Politics and others, Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick who seems to be acting like a FOX Network propaganda "stool pigeon" says, We're moving forward no matter what! We're definitely having a debate in Detroit in September," said CBC Chairwoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, who serves on the institute's board and represents Detroit in Congress.

Chairwoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick (MI)
"We may change the format. We might have more than just the presidential candidates," she said.


But she is not alone, there are more stool pigeons dropping poop on the black community. Check out Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), head of the CBC Institute, who said he still held out hope that he could convince the front-runners to attend. He preferred not to dwell on the idea of a lonely stage with Biden, Kucinich and Gravel lobbing bombs at their absentee rivals.



"We're still working to get the other people to reconsider," Thompson said. "Their decision to make Fox News the issue is not a good idea. Whether you agree or disagree with [Fox], they have a viewership."

AAPP: Ok, Let me be clear, this guy Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) may be powerful in the House of Representatives, but I'm with the American public regarding congress. This guy's statement about Fox, proves he is a moron.

This guy is still in denial that Obama, Clinton and Edwards are not attending the FOX/CBC debate, even though he and the other CBC Fox News supporters are "fair and stupid" regrading this redneck shindig. We can all expect Jesse Jackson, Sr., to be there smilin' for the cameras'.








"I Guess Bennie (yes-um FOX) Thompson has gotten very comfortable to those Mississippi rednecks like racially divisive Klan supporter Trent ( the United States would have avoided "all these problems" if then-segregationist Strom Thurmond had been elected president in 1948) Lott.

As Jack and Jill Politics points out, "The CBC's defense of their partnership with conservative propaganda outlet Fox News Channel is becoming increasingly absurd."

Skeptical Brotha was so right back in May of this year about the majority of the CBC selling out to Fox Noise Channel.

African American bloggers such as The Reid Report and many, many others have been concerned for some time about the CBC's DUBIOUS FRIENDS.

We should all remember how and why Kucinich, Joe Biden, Mike Gravel attended the FOX debate when we get into that voting booth. I'm not saying vote for or against a person just because of one position or stand, but I don't think we should forget who stood with black folks, and who stood against and pooped on black folks all in the name of exposure, instead of integrity.



In the meantime, I'm getting some type of poop off (not and endorsement of the product) to fight against the Congressional Fox Caucus, and the candidates who support their efforts to poop on black communities. Because I don't like poop. I Don't l know anyone who does like poop, let alone "Toxic Political poop."

oops... there is one group that does. As a clear example: The Congressional FOX Caucus. But as they say poop happens! Can the CBC spread that toxic political poop around to some other group?

I'm tired of it. What about you?

You know, I thought I had gotten past it - having someone BLACK derisively call us out as LIBERAL ACTIVISTS....

As if LIBERAL is supposed to be a BAD WORD wiht Black folk.

I haven't gotten past it. I'm still offended.

Follow the money.

Follow those $$$$$$, and you will have the answers.

Question Rikyrah -

Which pf the "Liberal, Open-minded" news organizations came to the Congressional Black Caucus to partner with them about a debate?


I was more offended by the last Democratic debate in which all of the "Bush is spending money and cutting taxes" talk never mentioned the state of such spending BEFORE Bush was in office.

So for example the claim was that Bush spent $500 billion in 4 years on the Iraq War and this money COULD HAVE been spent on education to benefit the Black community. None of the questioning panel thought to ask "Mrs. Clinton - your husband WAS IN POWER 'before Bush'.....what was the federal spending on education Before Bush"?

(Psst - here is your answer folks: http://www.ed.gov/about/overview/fed/10facts/title1.gif)

Some of you all "Hate Fox News" more than you care to make note of how the people who you are actually voting for are benefiting from your anger but giving you little in return.

I agree with Rikyrah,

These CBC members are motivated by money & support from Faux. This seemed to be an attempt by Faux to gain clout within the "Black Community" and with viewers in general.

There are other venues that they could have used to sponser a debate... PBS would have been ideal.

The CBC is a serious disappointment. They seem to be more interested in their own selfish agendas rather than dealing with issues that really matter to their constituents and to the nation as a whole.

I'm tired too.

I applaud the CBC in making the effort to host a presidential debate, but I do take issue with the organization, if not all members, for ignoring the call to cancel once the people it is suppose to represent balked at them airing on a network that for the most part ignores blacks, and when it doesn't, demeans us.

I suspect the CBC may have waited too late and the other major media outlets were obligated to other groups.

In that I don't have cable, I'm only watching those that air on broadcast tv. However, I haven't heard about any debate programming scheduled for BET.

Maybe the CBC can politely ask out of the agreement with FOX News and partner with BET. It can only assist in improving the images of the CBC and BET, and maybe Black Americans as a whole.

metricpenny:

Please justify your claims that Fox "ignores" Black people. The report below shows that ABC news is the WHITEST of the news organizations.

(Hey wasn't George Stephanopoulos a part of Clinton's administration? You would THINK that he would be more conscious when it comes to diversity......would you?)

Fox News does not "demean Black people". Fox News has a bias that is counter to the popular ideology among Black people. These are two very different things. I suspect that you don't like Fox because it is CRITICAL of the Black Progressive or the politics that you all are inclined to support. I, a Black man, enjoy watching Fox News and believe that it brings more African-Americans on the air to debate various subjects far more than any other outlet that you could bring in comparison.

I take it that you were not offended with Wolf Blitzer's comment "So Black, So Poor" during Hurricane Katrina? These words in no way exposed his views of Black people? Can you imagine an image in which "So White, So Poor" would be spoken? I think not.

(But the fact that this blog has Keith Olbermann as their "Truth Teller Of The Day" and before him Michael Moore - kinda see a pattern of leftists?.....is indicative of the slant on this blog)
