The CBC chairman isn't doing anything new really, he's basically doing what comes naturally for us, celebrating mediocrity. I rememeber when we use to have to be twice as good in anything we did, our ancestors passed that down to us. Instead we decided to move away from that and embraced "social justice/affirmative action" education set-a-sides, lowered standards ad nauseum. And we're still dropping out at higher percentage, back in the day we were prohibited from going to school, now we can go anywhere we want, we just choose not too or we'll all learn to rap like Jay Z by catching courses at Georgetown University, yeah it's a hard knock life......riiight.

The Congressional Black Caucus was formed in 1971 to advocate on behalf of black Americans and hold lawmakers and the President of the United States accountable for policies adversely impacting blacks. The CBC is often referred to as the “conscience of the Congress.”

Considering the caucus’ history, it’s shocking CBC Chairman Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver admitted to the Root the CBC has been reluctant to criticize President Obama because he’s black. Never mind black unemployment under Obama for the past three years has been nearly double the national average and hit a record high of 16% in 2011....
