The Congressional Black Caucus SellOut; Hillary Clinton still wins.

(ThyBlackMan.com) When I first heard that the Congressional Black Caucus had endorsed Hillary Clinton, I couldn’t believe my ears.  And yes, I said the Congressional Black Caucus. The debate over whether or not every member of the caucus agreed with the PAC’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton is nothing but a political ploy. It merely provides establishment-entrenched Black politicians a backdoor to escape having to account for what is clearly an unconscionable act of political betrayal – or, in other words, politics as usual. If that’s not the case, every member who disagrees with Hillary’s endorsement should stand up and express why.

.
These politicians have obviously been in Washington too long. They’ve bought into the political assumption that the people are stupid – well, some of us are, but not all of us. So this clumsy ploy could turn out to be a good thing. First, we can now find out once and for all who actually controls the Congressional Black Caucus, the caucus members themselves, or a group of self-serving lobbyists, and secondly, if it is a dirty political trick hatched by Clinton operatives to mislead the voters, it could backfire if individual caucus members who disagree with this endorsement step forward and say so in no uncertain terms. It’s time that the voters begin to demand that we stop being treated like idiots and assume our rightful place, as the employers of these politicians, not their mindless sheep. And it’s also time for us to start getting rid of those politicians who don’t know the difference – starting with CBC PAC Chairman, Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY).
.
What on Earth could these people possibly be thinking!!!? With this one act, they’ve shown themselves to be puppets of the establishment and of absolutely no use to the Black community. So we should vote every one of them out of office and replace them with people who have sense enough to realize that it was Bill Clinton who created the Prison Industrial Complex, signed NEFTA into law, that not only made it possible, but financially advantageous for corporations to send 2016-CongressionalBlackCaucusEndorsedHillaryClinton-2016-SelloutsAmerican jobs out of the country. He also repealed the Glass-Steagall Act that led to the Great Recession of 2008. And if that wasn’t enough,   Hillary tried to ‘dog whistle’ the assassination of Barack Obama in during the 2008 primaries. So what kind of fools are these, who would endorse such people!!!?
.

 

Bill and Hillary Clinton are clearly Republicans in drag. When Bernie Sanders was out marching with Martin Luther King, Hillary Clinton was working for Republican Barry Goldwater, who pledged that if elected he would repeal the Civil Rights Act.  And Hillary’s conservative predisposition could also be observed in her behavior during her first high-profile position on the Board of Directors of Walmart.
.
During the six years that Hillary was in that position Walmart was undercutting labor unions, paying their workers slave-like wages, and discriminating against women by paying them less than they paid men for doing the same job, and Hillary didn’t say a word. The reason for that was simple – it wasn’t convenient for her to speak out at the time. Speaking out on behalf of women and the working class wouldn’t do anything to promote her ambition. It was a zero sum gain, and Hillary is not motivated by conviction; she’s motivated by self-interest. But all of a sudden – now that she needs the votes of the working class – she’s trying to portray herself as a gladiator for the people, but that’ll only last until she gets into office. Then it’ll be business as usual – paying back political favors (like the $25,000 campaign donation that she received from Walmart just to “explore” the possibly of running), and building up future credits with other corporate elites for her next campaign.
.
The Clinton’s net worth is over $100 million and they control a $2 billion foundation – which is currently under investigation, by the way. So the Clinton’s are comfortably entrenched in the very corporate elitist culture that is keeping us virtually enslaved.

HILLARY CLINTON ON WALMART BOARD OF DIRECTORS
“Mrs. Clinton’s six-year tenure as a director of Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest company, remains a little known chapter in her closely scrutinized career. And it is little known for a reason. Mrs. Clinton rarely, if ever, discusses it, leaving her board membership out of her speeches and off her campaign Web site.
.
“Mr. Walton was vocal in his opposition to unions. Indeed, he appointed the lawyer who oversaw the company’s union monitoring, Mr. Tate, to the board, where he served with Mrs. Clinton.
.
“During their meetings and private conversations, Mrs. Clinton never voiced objections to Wal-Mart’s stance on unions, said Mr. Tate and John A. Cooper, another board member.
.
“’She was not an outspoken person on labor, because I think she was smart enough to know that if she favored labor, she was the only one,’ Mr. Tate said. ‘It would only lessen her own position on the board if she took that position.” http://www.nytimes.com/2007/…/20/us/politics/20walmart.html
.
And then there’s the machinations of Bill Clinton while out of office:
A NO NO-LOSE SITUATION FOR THE CORPORATE ELITE
According to a Washington Post report in August of 2015, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump had a private phone call weeks before Trump got in the presidential race, in which the former president reportedly “encouraged” Trump’s political efforts.  The report by Robert Costa and Anne Gearan  indicated that people close to Trump and Clinton confirmed that the two men spoke some time in May of 2016. It went on to say:
.

“Trump took the call from his office in Trump Tower in New York, according to the four allies, who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly. The call came as Trump was making a final decision about whether to run, and he was candid about his political ambitions and his potential interest in seeking the White House during the talk, these allies said. The 42nd president listened intently and then analyzed Trump’s prospects and his desire to rouse the GOP base, the Trump allies said.

“The tone of the call was informal, and Clinton never urged Trump to run, the four people said. Rather, they said, Clinton sounded curious about Trump’s moves toward a presidential bid and told Trump that he was striking a chord with frustrated conservatives and was a rising force on the right.”
.
And finally, during her 2008 campaign against Obama, while trying to get Ted Kennedy’s support, it was reported by the New Yorker that Bill Clinton said to Kennedy regarding Barack Obama, “A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.” True progressives don’t talk like that. He was sounding just like a White Southern politician behind closed doors – which is exactly what he was, and is – dark glasses and saxophone notwithstanding. They don’t call him “Slick Willie” for nothing.
.
So one of two things have to be in play with these Congressional Black Caucus members – either they’ve become so comfortable with their huge salaries, perks, and prestige that they’ve lost sight of what’s going on around them, or they’ve been corrupted to the point that feathering their own nest has become more important to them than protecting the interest of the Black community.  But either way, it’s time for them to go.

  1. Thank you, Nicholas,

    I’m not letting up on this. Bill Clinton recently apologized to the NAACP for signing into law his crime bill that led to “Three Strikes,” and the mass incarceration of thousands of Black men. Intend to go through everything he did during his presidency to undermine the Black community and then ask the question, what has he ever done for Black people other that go on the Arsenio Hall Show in dark glasses and TRY to play saxophone.

    THE BLACK COMMUNITY’S BLIND LOYALTY TO THE CLINTONS REFLECTS AN ENDURING SLAVE MENTALITY

    Hillary Clinton will never admit it, but considering she has the most powerful and well-oiled political machine in America, and Bernie Sanders is only being sustained by a passionate group of grassroots voters, his virtual tie in the Iowa Caucus and his win over her by a historic proportion in New Hampshire represent a humiliating defeat. But Hillary’s not worried about that, because she intends to more than make up the difference in South Carolina, Nevada, and the various other coming states where there’s a large Black population, and therein lies our story.
    .
    Considering what both Bill, and Hillary, have done to Black people over the years, just the fact that Hillary is so confident that she has Black people in her pocket should be an embarrassment to the entire Black community, because regardless to how sophisticated Black people act,, or how educated or militant we talk, the Black support for Hillary Clinton is a glaring reflection of our enduring slave mentality. If you ask the average Black person to describe just one thing the Clinton’s have done for Black people, they wouldn’t be able to do it, and there’s a good reason for that – because the Clintons haven’t done one thing for Black people, other than Bill going on the Arsenio Hall Show in dark glasses and trying to playing saxophone.
    .
    But that seems to have been enough for us. Just having a White man acknowledge our existence and pat us on the head will cause many of us to love him forever – even if he does beat us every now and then (“for our own good,” of course). And the Clintons have been doing just that every since they’ve been in the public eye – beating us. They talk like liberals, and act like liberals, but they always seem to leave conservative policies that are detrimental to both Black people, and America as a whole, behind.

    This is another typically well written article by this writer. However, it appears that the Congressional Black Caucus along with Bill and Hillary have long been exposed.The question now turns to, what are we do. I say, that every person who is represented by a Black Congressperson should write call or visit their representative’s and demand an accounting of Hillary’s endorsement. My vote is for Bernie.

  3. Shanika,

    I see Hillary is not fooling you at all. I just wish everybody in America could see the light many people just insist on joining personality cults, or becoming one-issue voters. But people like yourself give me hope. Keep spreading the word.
