Some black lawmakers sought Tuesday to move past a dispute with the White House, saying they are satisfied that President Obama is seeking to provide greater economic assistance to African American communities. But the members of the Congressional Black Caucus continued to insist that the administration’s efforts do not go far enough, even as other African American leaders defended the nation’s first black president.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), who had led nine black lawmakers in holding up a financial regulation bill that Obama supported, said an agreement Monday with House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) has eased her concerns.
Absolutely, they got the message,” Waters said after weeks of closed-door discussions with Obama officials.
On Monday, Frank agreed to Waters’s proposal to steer $3 billion from the federal Troubled Assets Relief Program toward mortgage relief for the unemployed. The bill also sets aside $1 billion for a program that gives grants to state and local governments to buy foreclosed properties and use them for more productive purposes.
Waters said the two proposals would go a long way toward meeting the goals of the members of the caucus.
“I’m always happy when we win,” Waters said. But Waters and some of her colleagues in the caucus continue to express doubts about the administration’s commitment to job creation in black communities.See Story Source
First, the congressional black caucus is racist, no other group or race is allowed to have their own caucus, the cbc should be forced to admit non blacks. How “united” are we really? when blacks can have their own caucus, indians can have their own gov and tribal police and courts and jews are allowed to have their own courts and are permitted NOT to testify against one another and allowed tax breaks in nys and their own community patrol cars and trained by the nypd with PUBLIC TAX PAYER MONEY and only their places of worship receive police protection during their holidays while NO OTHER group in nyc is afforded this. Second, these monkies in suits are RACIAL TERRORISTS.
