Black Excellence alert! First time in history 2 black Senators to serve!

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Our homeboy Duval Patrick appoints long time aide "Mo" Cowan as interim senator for the state of Massachusets! If you recall Jon Kerry's departure last week via his recent appointment to the Secretary of State in Obama's majority white cabinet left a vacancy in the Senate which Gov Duval was commissioned to fill.

Thanks to the efforts of another great brother in Duval Patrick, this country is about to be blessed with the minds of two great African American brothers in our Nation's senate.

Here's hoping one of these brave brothers will introduce a prison reform bill while in office..

I think "excellence" might be a bit of an exaggeration.

 

[GetInTheTruck]

Weren't these two appointed?

They weren't elected. No "excellence" about it.

This still reflects poorly on the US.

 

[El Bombi]

One of those nikkaz is not black excellence, but black c00nery.

U.S. Senate: Art & History Home > People > Senators > Ethnic Diversity in the Senate

You can pretty much count ALL minorities in the history of the senate with your fingers and toes...plus 4. Bottom line is that this shyt is just sad. Excellence or not the tinting of the Senate is long overdue.

it terms of population numbers I think it makes sense

Stop it breh, neither of them are nikkaz and we need to keep our hand in every pot so neither of them are c00ns

Well, it'll be that way until enough black people get money behind them and run on that Patrick and Obama, everyman vibe. Unless, people want to go to a proportional system I don't these numbers changing any time soon.

I beleive since the end of Reconstruction, there have only been 6, now 7 black senators. The only three Senators to be popularly elected was that light skin Senator from I believe Connecticut who used to mess with Barbara Walters, Obama, and Carolyn Mosley Brown. Out of the three populary elected Senators, two of them were fair skin, or as they used to say in Malcolm Xs time members of the blue vein club. I don't really see this as progress. I'll wait to see if the Scott guy from South Carolina, and this guy can win their Senate seats in a popular election

Tim Scott will win again in sc, republicans will make sure of that, this new guy Cowan is just a place holder, he is not going to run for reelection, the next black senator will probably be Cory booker

because we rely on cacs.

watch how the latinos muscle senators in with votes.
