Because our greatest strength is our greatest weakness.
We are natural leaders full of independent thought. It prevents us from falling into groupthink but makes it harder to coalesce around one cause. Our needs and goals are different and we act accordingly.
Most American Jews are pretty similar....white, of central or eastern European descent. Their grandparents and great-grandparents started out in NYC/Chicago etc....many arriving after the Civil War. Plus......they are white-ish. The anti-Semitic hate died around the time people got scared of Muslims. Today they aren't much different than Greeks or Italians here. Allows them to benefit from white privilege when needed but they can lean on their Jewish community when true solidarity is the goal. Most ethnic whites just blended into whiteness but Jews didn't push ALL their cards to the middle of the table.

They got several red states in the country creating laws against criticizing Israel
which is literally a direct violation of the 1st ammendment.
Florida passes law protecting Israel from criticism
the jews got the juice

Sadly us ADOS blacks don’t have our own country that can bankroll these organizations like Israel bank rolls AIPAC.
The first thing you have to do is come up with a name the clearly defines your group of people that the group will accept, by and large, and the public will not immediately be drawn to vilify. You also have determine if blackness in general is enough. The more narrow your group is, the more difficult it’ll be to digest because it will come off as discriminatory.
It can’t have a connotation that it is a group against the establishment or that it condemns any group of people.
That is the first hurdle.
Then you have to find a non-threatening person that the represented group also respects, to champion it.
That is the second hurdle.
And those are two very big hurdles considering the reality of this country.

PACs are about money. Politicians please those who give them money, not votes. Votes mean nothing if you don’t have the finances.

Black Executives Join Forces, Forming a PAC to Back Them Up
A few dozen wealthy black athletes and entrepreneurs could accomplish this no problem however there’s no strength of purpose or collective vision.
