    Whenever anybody tells you that the Congressional Black Caucus voted for the 1994 Crime Bill, show them this video. And watch Bobby Rush repudiate it. Watch him say it was the single worst vote he ever made. Watch him apologize to God and to the community.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1130129485548969984 …

    Watch @RepBobbyRush He is the congressmen for the South Side of Chicago. Watch him, nearly in tears, say the 1994 Crime Bill was the worst thing to happen to the Black community the past 50 years. And listen to his deep remorse for voting for it. pic.twitter.com/PedaRJjxKE

        Damn shame that WB Rick is still serving time. Damn shame Kwame Kilpatrick is doing 28 years for politics in Detroit. That's the way it was in all of Michigan politics. They set him up and took the city. The same crooks who used this as a way of politics.

        I appreciate his remorse but I also feel that a former Black Panther should have known better than to support something like that in the first place

        Showing remorse for voting for it means they were responsible for it, no?

        To think that I could have been caught up by association at 17 years old. The hood was riddled with selling drugs. I didn't sell any but I counted the money. Every guy thought that the mobs were in charge. All kids in the hood lived like whiteboy Rick.

        Nah. Watch how the neighborhoods he represents are faring. Black people like Rush are go-along Democrats who show up to the Bud Billiken Day Parade, then sleep comfortably in downtown hotels while the community burns.
