Corporate interests and Black issues aren't mutually exclusive.

You can not put black politicians in the same box as white ones when it comes to the corporate money they receive. Alot African American house members wouldn't be able to campaign without corporate dollars because they represent poorer black districts. Their constituents cant support them monetarily as other candidates could.

Thats why the Collective Pac The Collective PAC | Fighting for Equal Representation a black owned superpac is against progressive Democrats eliminating Super Pacs. We rely on that money to bring our issues to the forefront.

Too many progressive voters on this forum, think black politicians should mirror what white progressive candidates do. No corporate money, no pacs etc. Maybe 2-3 black candidates can pull that off, the rest sadly can not.

We have to start thinking of progressive policies from a Black viewpoint instead of a Monolithic white one. If you all continue to just believe in what white progressive candidates tell you what to think, "what's fair", "what represents the middle class" you guys are going to vote for positions that will kill movements any black candidates will have.

You're killing the movement without even realizing it, it's scary to read what some of the "progressive" people in here post, while not understanding how it will negatively impact Black politicians representing black populations.

We don't always fit in the box the progressive white liberals say everyone should.
Breh,
I always think Black first. Corporate interest is a major problem. I’m not killing the movement if I call out a CBC member, or PAC that accepts money from the private prison industry. I not against accepting some corporate money depending on the company, but accepting money from Prison, and Tobacco lobbies is not good. When I say we need a Black Lobbying group, I mean a group that we don’t have to worry about selling us out for a check.

i wish more black men would recognize this, feels like many black men want black women to just care about their black struggle and not voice frustration with/fight back against their struggle as women, specifically the double edge sword of being a black woman, as well.
That’s because those black men don’t want black women to have any autonomy. They like the patriarchy, they just wish there was a black man on top.



Peace out Kamala.

the CBC is our lobbyist group.
I don’t like replying to your posts because they are misinformed, but at least that’s policy where you can have an opinion. This here tho is factually incorrect.

Neither the CBC or CBC Foundation are a lobbying group or our lobbying group. That’s absolutely not the purpose of either group. The CBC is a caucus of legislators on Capitol Hill. The CBC foundation is a nonprofit and legally cannot lobby since they are a 501(c)3.
