The Congressional Black Caucus Should Thank Donald Trump
By Derrick Wilburn

Rather than attacking at every turn and continually accusing President Trump of racism, as the Congressional Black Caucus constantly does, the CBC should be grateful to Trump for finally doing what no other president in modern history has -- gotten national attention drawn to their districts.

In a recent release, CBC Chair Karen Bass stated, “Today, President Trump doubled down on his racist attacks against Congressman Cummings…” Truth is not racist, but Trump, it seems, cannot criticize any person of color without it being seen as such. However, the issue should not be about racism it should be about truth, and Trump’s accusations about Rep. Elijah Cummings’ (D-MD) district being a rat-infested hellhole are largely true. Trump didn’t call Cummings a “n*gger”, he didn’t say “That black fool is incompetent.” Others may have read that, but it isn’t what he typed.

Black pols like being congress critters and other elected/appointed people in positions of power. They like the money/graft that comes with it and the possibilites of other perks.
They got elected by telling their constituents that all their problems are due to the actions of others i.e. racist cops/Evil Whitey instead of their own actions.
Grifters like Cummings are not now going to tell his constituents that they can improve their lives and their cities by working hard, staying out of trouble, not having babies at thirteen,  not relying on Big Government, or by blaming others for their problems.
Not going to happen.
