Democrats faced intense backlash on Monday over a political stunt that they pulled in an attempt to show solidarity with the black community over death of George Floyd.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY), and other top Democrats took at knee at Capitol Hill while wearing Kente cloth, which, as noted by The Washington Post, “comes from Ghana, where people wear it to show patriotism or celebrate a special occasion.”

Army combat veteran Jeffrey A Dove Jr., a Republican running in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District, responded: “Does wearing kente cloth and taking a knee mean you are all of a sudden ‘down with the struggle’? This is why people hate disingenuous politicians. Speaker Pelosi was there for the 94 crime bill. She is part of the problem.”
 
That is what politicians do they pander to a voting bloc..

Pelosi and Schumer could care less about blacks other than their votes every election year! Staging something like this was nothing more than "posing"! It's the same thing that Joe Biden is doing when he eulogizes a piece of human garbage like George Floyd! They play the game and then head back to their gated estates for cocktails...laughing at how gullible the average black voter is!

You want to know who really cares about the black community? It's someone who does things for them that creates jobs and puts food on their tables! It's someone who makes their community safer...not takes away the last line of defense. Take a good hard look at what liberal policies have done to the black community over the past sixty years and tell me that they REALLY care about the welfare of poor blacks in this country!

Somewhat - but the black vote is secure - I would say that this was virtue signaling to the mind numb white Progressive libs, while not really caring if they offend the black crowd.

Why are they wearing that stupid shit anyway? Not the whites...the blacks. That is a cultural symbol. They have no cultural attachment to Ghana, or Africa. Most of them couldn't find Ghana on the map.

The vast majority of them are culturally American. I don't know if there are any first generation Americans of Ghanaian decent in Congress...let alone immigrants. If there are I bet they are thinking;
"WTF is this crap...was George Ghanaian?"


Was George Floyd Ghanaian? Probably not...as in most definitely not...American blacks are just a pitiful mess.

Unfortunately no cultural attachment to America either and couldn't find their own city on a map.

in the course of my dabbling with the written word, I learned that Kente cloth is VERY EXPENSIVE for africans -----and is used as a kinda status symbol.
( I am just sharing my remarkable erudition) Some
people are actually OFFENDED by the show of wealth

You’re correct about the vast vast majority of the black vote. To bet otherwise just wouldn’t be prudent. The problem for the dimocrats is what percent of the black votes don’t go their way? Six percent forecasted last time turned into 8% on Election Day. Obviously more black people thought for themselves rather than follow the same dim hucksters again, and you can bet the comrades at the DNC are concerned this go-round.

Blacks will likely vote 95% or more for the democrats.......so what do the democrats care what Black Americans think or want? The democrats run the cities that were burned looted and where innocents were murdered by antifa and black lives matter fascists.......the democrat party has complete control over those cities....the police departments from the Police Chiefs to the recruits, to he education system that churns out high school drop outs, and children who can't read, or do math......and yet Black Americans will march out and vote to give the democrat party more and more power.........and then they ask, why do we suffer so much? Why are 75% of our children born without fathers....but then vote for the democrats over and over again...........young black men are murdering other young black men in the 10s of thousands......the democrat party does not care, they get 95% of the Black vote no matter how many young black males murder other black males........t

The democrat party only pretends to care about Black Americans a few weeks every two years so that the Black Americans will give them power through their votes....while Black Children die in poverty and crime............

Stop giving power to the political party that is racist to its core.....the democrat party is the home of racism, misogyny, violence and hate.........

There was no husckster involved.

Prior to Candidate Trump the black vote was irrelevant.
Neither side had to address any legitimate concerns that they had.
No matter what the Dems did to them or the Republicans did for them they were going to vote Democrat.
So strategies were put in place that excluded that community from the equation.
Republicans still won plenty of elections.
So who did the Black block voting hurt?
African Americans.
