To all my Political heads: Why no Black lobbyists in Washington?

- Start date
Ya know I looked for this kinda stuff last year. There IS a black lobbying group. Probably not the kind we'd be interested in though. Alan Keyes was on the board or something.
There may (and should) be others but I lost interest after that. Just as soon as I win the lottery.....

You need black money
If nikkas weren't so worried about Gucci and Prada and put that money to influencing politicians the black community as a whole would be in a much better state

Not much of a Washington-type politics guy...but from what I can tell it's because we don't put money behind these politicians...unlike the Hispanics, gays etc we have yet to understand that money is the language of political representation.
short answer most have no problem operating within the current system...they made itforget the overall black plight or some kind of independence. as long as they can get a top job at a law or lobbying firm after leaving congress they're fine. same for think tanks for those that are into research . joint center for political & economic studies was another think tank focusing on black issues...last i heard they were broke. even now the website is down
guess the government grants dried up and not enough wealthy blacks donated to it
