What?
Life for members of the CBC is not better with a Black president in office?
How can this be?
Maybe it’s because the Democrat Party really loves Black people’s votes more than they really love Black people in general. Of course that’s not the “template” that Democrats operated under to garner 95% of the Black vote.
I’ve been telling my friends these thing for years, but be that as it may, the mental enslavement of Black to the Democrat party continues.
Hey, CBC you’re lucky not more of your members are not going to jail with their stealing taxpayer money via non-profits.
Talk about being ungrateful.

"We concluded they were just kind of listening to us and that then they would go back [to their offices] and conclude that we would do nothing," Emanuel Cleaver II (D-Mo.), the vice chairman of the CBC, said of one dispute. "Because they had concluded there's a black president in the White House and that, to some degree, the Black Caucus, you know, was constrained in expressing its desires. After a while, we said, 'Hey, we see what's going on and it's nothing.' "
