Rep. Cedric L. Richmond, Democrat from New Orleans and chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, has written a three-page letter basically telling Trump and his admin that he won’t be attending the CBC to meet with him because Trump and his administration don’t care about Black people!

The June 21st Letter said:

In written communication dating back to January 2017, we have shared the priorities of the Caucus as they relate to the Black community. We are serious about the work of advancing the interests of our people and the goals of the CBC. As a result, we took advantage of every opportunity to educate you on the needs of the Black community and provide you with the information and solutions necessary to act on them in good faith. Through an objective assessment, we have seen no evidence that your Administration acted on our calls for action, and we have in fact witnessed steps that will affirmatively hurt Black communities. While we agreed to explore possible future discussions when we first met, it has become abundantly clear that a conversation with the entire CBC would not be entirely productive, given the actions taken by your Administration since our first meeting. While you can solicit the engagement of individual members of our caucus, the CBC as a caucus declines your invitation to meet at this time.

Strong words and it must be bad when the Congressional Black Caucus actually says this!
