  • The Congressional Black Caucus’ Racist, Sexist Obamacare Campaign

    03.26.2014 | News | |

    As the calendar races toward whenever the hell the real Obamacare enrollment deadline is, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) took to Twitter to promote its #BlackMenEnroll campaign.

    The pathetic push targeted at black American men is not only racist, but it’s blatantly sexist. After I started retweeting the CBC’s racially targeted tweets with the hashtag #BlackMenEnroll, people on Twitter were still shocked with disbelief.

    Oh, the stupid is real.

    Here’s tax cheat Charlie Rangel urging black men to enroll:

    And here you can see Rep. Hank “Guam might tip over” Johnson pimpin’ Obamacare:

    And here is Rep. Barbara Lee holding her #BlackMenEnroll sign:

    Rep. Lee recently called Rep. Paul Ryan a racist for talking about poverty in inner cities. Would Barbara lee find it racially incentive if Rep. Paul Ryan took a picture of himself holding up a sign that read #WhiteMenEnroll?

    Last month, CNN reported that only 19% of Latinos and 20% of blacks have looked for health insurance plans on healthcare.gov or their state exchanges compared to 28% of whites, according to a Commonwealth Fund survey.

    In the end, this shamelessly racist and sexist campaign to encourage a subgroup of Americans to buy a product they clearly don’t want to purchase tells you all you need to know about the Congressional Black Caucus and the hubris of the Democratic party.
