It is disturbing to me that in 2018 the Democratic Party has NEVER had a Black woman in a leadership role in Congress. Black women are the lifeblood of the party. It's a sin. And the new incoming Democratic majority MUST fix this. PERIOD. NO EXCUSES.
What I know is that before elections, white Democrats BEG for Black votes and Black volunteers. Then after the elections, those white Democrats take nearly 100% of the leadership roles and then tell Black voters & volunteers to shut up so that we can have "a united front."
Liberals are doing this to Cortez as we speak, telling her to shut up and take a seat, saying she’s “attacking” Pelosi by advocating for the platform on which she was elected. Saying “we can’t afford this shit with an election coming up”.
I’m starting to think liberals just don’t want to be challenged from the left. It will never be “the right time”. There must always be a unified front, and liberals are fine with silencing leftists if it achieves that goal.
This is a product of the “enlightened centrism” pushed by Schumer/Pelosi and their most ardent supporters who somehow, after the last two years, firmly believe that making concessions with Republicans is the way forward. That more of what got us here is the answer.
Log the midterms proved one thing, it’s that people want progress, and that’s taking shape in the elections of so many with strong leftist/labor platforms. America is sick of empty identity politics while the bottom falls out of our economy. Intersectionality or gtfo.
You say none lead but Im so confused isnt Maxine Waters going to be leader of her committee?
And Elijah Cummings.
This is all well and good. Black leadership in Congress is a MUST. Agreed. But not Speaker of the House! That position demands expertise at management and leadership levels. PROVEN "know how" to get stuff done! At this time @HouseDemocrats can't afford less.
Wait... So "Black leadership" in Congress lacks expertise and leadership abilities? I'm going to give you a chance to clean that up a bit. We'll wait.
let’s not make it all about race. i spent the 80s doing 100s of hours of unpaid volunteer work for J. Jackson. i was one of few whites on that team. I supported Jackson for his vision, not his race
Keep talking, Shaun. This is critical that you use this platform you have fought for to say the things others find difficult to read. I am really proud that I somehow found you. Your strength gives me hope. Lots of it.
Sounds like more black leaders should be running for office.
Plenty are.
Not true.
Really? I thought Obama’s administration was pretty diversified. I’m hoping for a black president or VP by the name of Kamala Harris in 2020.
Michelle Obama / Kamala Harris in 2020 
Real Talk...
Until last week, there were not even WOMEN in Leadership roles. When you get to the JOB, you don’t act like an activist. You take that energy and ASK to be put on a Committee yo make REAL change! Shaun- Why are you assuming that no black women are going to be on the committees
