GAY DESIRES AND BLACK NEEDS ARE VERY DIFFERENT

Artur Davis: Most Blacks Don’t Equate Gay Rights with Civil Rights
Daily Caller – Artur Davis interview – 18 minutes

On May 29, Artur Davis announced he was leaving the Democratic Party and becoming a Republican. Formerly a Democratic congressman from Alabama, Artur Davis now identifies as a Republican.

While in Congress, Davis served on the House Ways and Means Committee and was active in the Congressional Black Caucus. In 2008, he gave a speech seconding Barack Obama’s nomination for president at the Democratic National Convention.

In 2009, he joined just 38 other House Democrats in opposing Obamacare. Davis opted to not run for re-election in 2010 and instead ran for Alabama governor. He ultimately failed to win the Democratic primary and left Congress in 2011.

The Democratic Party is not the big tent anymore and certainly not home to any conservative idea that would embrace issues that lift up the Black Community. Americans know that politicians spend money and have little faith in their elected officials. Under ObamaCare all companies (large and small) will game the system—drop insurance coverage and reduce hiring to remain under the government threshold.
