Bill Clinton pimp smacked Jesse Jackson, Sr. with Sista Souljah, and Jackson still compaigned for Clinton.
Clinton pimp smacked the NAACP with comments concerning "personal responsibility." This was after the bimbo eruptions started!
Clinton showed white Democrats how to knock around Black voters and still get them to vote Democrat.
It doesn't phase me that the party doesn't support vouchers.
It phases me that Sen. Clinton is saying that when they get control, taxes are going to be raised. (Although if you pay attention, some Republican politicians are raising taxes as well).
Democrats controlled congress and the White House, yet drug sentencing disparity was not fully addressed.
When the late Ron Brown ran for DNC chair, other Democrats said that Brown could not be let to win the position. It took Bill Bradley to step up to the plate and call the comments being made racist. Meanwhile, Clinton sat around and did nothing. After Clinton won the election, he praised Ron Brown by saying Clinton's win would not have been possible without Brown. This appears in the book about Ron Brown, written by his daughter.

I'm pleased to meet you, EBrown.
Democrats take Black voters for granted. Sure, but that's too easily said.
It appears that the CBC is spineless and powerless within their own party. So, what good does it do? Are appearances deceiving in this respect? Did they get one Democrat sentator to challenge the 2000 election results in Florida? The CBC needs more than color to gain power within the party, it needs money to hold its members' seats and eventually expand membership, time to gain seniority within committees and a long-term plan. They didn't get a senator in 2000 to challenge Florida's results, but they do get a rep as the conscience of the chamber. Ask anybody black what they thought about that scene in "Fahrenheit 9/11," and they'll tell you it's not the CBC that looked played out.
After J.C. Watts announced his retirement, he appeared on "Meet the Press" with Charles Rangel, Rangel said, "I wish there were more J.C. Watts' so that I could get more concessions from my party." Rangel has to say something like that. He's on TV, isn't he? ;-)
Bill Clinton pimp smacked Jesse Jackson, Sr. with Sista Souljah, and Jackson still compaigned for Clinton. True.

Clinton showed white Democrats how to knock around Black voters and still get them to vote Democrat. Jury's still out. Verdict on that case will be returned this November.
It doesn't phase me that the party doesn't support vouchers. Me, either. Then again, I don't have kids yet. How about you?
It phases me that Sen. Clinton is saying that when they get control, taxes are going to be raised. (Although if you pay attention, some Republican politicians are raising taxes as well). Good for her. Sen. Clinton can speak freely, since she's not running for the White House this year. Tax cuts ain't been cuttin' it for us, no matter how many reasons and justifications the GOP pulls out of its bag of tricks. Now, I guess I've missed where the GOP wants to raise taxes; I'm still getting over last week's trial balloon about abolishing the IRS for a national sales tax ...
Democrats controlled congress and the White House, yet drug sentencing disparity was not fully addressed. We're talking 1992-'94?
