(CNSNews.com)  - "I would have to say today is probably the angriest I've ever been while addressing the public and the media," Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) told a news conference convened by the Congressional Black Caucus on Friday.

"And I share the anger of our young kids. When we look at this Congress, we can do nothing but conclude that they are co-conspirators in the devaluation of the lives of men and women of color. And that the systematic devaluation -- from mass incarceration to the lack of investment in communities -- show that we have little faith or concern about their futures."

Blah, blah, blah, blah.  Its all been said before by people of every skin color and congress, including the black caucus, has done nothing.  Just a thought here.  Maybe, just maybe, instead of congress spending so much energy and money on illegal immigrants and mooslims from other countries, they might find the energy and money to do something for citizens of this country.  What this guy has done in reality is open the bidding, and money in the pocket, for the attention of the black caucus which is more interested in their own gravy train than in the lives of American citizens, regardless of color.

Take it up with the democrats who have long since declared that blacks are pitiful hopeless creatures without their oh so benevolent guiding hand.

I thought things would have changed after Robert Byrd's funeral.

You got that right.

Black lives matter.
