How naive can you get?
Ask yourself who Bush would benefit from acknowledging, much less adopting, these position.
Right. Not at all. We are in the phase of the cycle wherein the mainstream has decided Black folks interests clash with its own. Stupid as that is...
Black lawmakers ask Bush to adopt agenda
By Associated Press | January 27, 2005
WASHINGTON -- Its relationship with the White House strained over the last four years, the all-Democratic group of black congressional members used its long-awaited meeting with President Bush to ask him to adopt its agenda for closing racial disparities.
The 43-member Congressional Black Caucus presented Bush with its eight-page agenda during a private meeting. Representative Mel Watt, a Democrat from North Carolina who is the new chairman of the group, said Bush agreed to read the agenda and take it under advisement but didn't offer much response to it.
The agenda asks for more spending on education for poor and minority students, healthcare for all Americans, promotion of affirmative action, aid to impoverished African and Caribbean nations, and a guarantee that Social Security benefits continue to be paid, among other requests.
