“It’s an issue that will be addressed when it’s relevant to be addressed,” said CBC spokesman J. Jioni Palmer, who punted to previous statements made about the issue.
Of 14 black Republican candidates this year, Tim Scott of South Carolina, Allen West of Florida and Ryan Frazier of Colorado are in reach of winning their districts. While West and Frazier’s races are considered toss-ups, Scott has a comfortable lead over his Democratic challenger and is widely considered a shoe-in.
While the CBC officially has not been clear about who they will allow in next year, Democratic Rep. James Clyburn, a CBC member and House majority whip, said last month that he would welcome a black Republican.
“If Tim Scott is interested in joining the caucus, he would be welcome,” he said.
But CBC Chairman Barbara Lee implied a few weeks later in an interview with The Economist that black Republicans would be welcomed only if they conform to the group’s liberal guidelines. “The CBC has an agenda,” Lee told The Economist. “Our agenda is about lifting people out of poverty, providing middle-class tax cuts, supporting climate-change legislation. Do [incoming black Republicans] embrace this agenda?”
She means lifting people out of poverty with the help of mother government and the Democrat Party. African Americans need to go to the government to get fish because Democrats believe Black folks can’t possibly learn how to fish for themselves.
This is the reason Liberals hate Black conservatives because they don’t want other Blacks to become self reliant and put them out of business.
Liberals preach a never ending sermon of dependency masked by pretty sounding words like “empowerment”, “multiculturalism” and “social justice”.
It all sounds good to the undereducated masses that graduate from liberal-controlled schools.
The CBC is about as relevant an organization as the NAACP is when it comes to looking out for the interests of all African Americans.
