Is there a place for Blacks in the Progressive movement?
Advertisements [?]
Let me clarify. Is there a place for Blacks in the progressive party, besides delivering 90% of the Black vote election after election and receiving crumbs as a result?

Is the tent big enough for genuine diversity at the table with different ideas and opinions? Or are Blacks like children? Better to be seen and not heard?

This country is moving more to the right and unfortunately this party is too.

There will be a time when the party can not depend on this constituency. Blacks may not go repub, but they just might stay at home come election time. They just might get tired of being pimped.

Disenfranchise is a bitch and folks better recognize. There are not enough soccor moms and nascar dads to make up votes that the party will lose.
