The Patriot Post® · DNC's Black Caucus Chair Touts Her Black Panther Past

Once again, Democrats have exposed their racist instincts — from recent revelations of Democratic National Committee deputy chair Keith Ellison (MN) and his connections to anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan to now Virgie Rollins, chairwoman of the DNC’s Black Caucus. A video has surfaced from a recent meeting of the Black Caucus in which Rollins is heard unapologetically touting herself as a former member the Black Panther Party.

Rollins states, “I’m a former Black Panther, and when we talk about the movement, as a former Black Panther with Angela Davis and Kathleen Cleaver, it was important … to make people understand it was about the movement for us. Educating us. We got out and we taught kids, we fed the hungry, and we clothed the naked.” Ironically, Rollins also invoked Martin Luther King Jr., ignoring the fact that he was opposed to the Black Panthers and their call for violent revolution, as well as their overt anti-white racism. Democrats have thoroughly killed his dream.

Rollins appears to have invoked her past as a means of demonstrating her credibility to caucus members, which may be the most disturbing aspect of the video. Rollins says, “We’ve got to be out here in masses in the midterms if we want to change this country because it’s all about changing the Congress now. [Democrats] cannot win without black folks and women, so it’s up to us.” Later she adds, “We’ve got to turn back to the revolution because it’s important. They depend on us.” She isn’t wrong — Democrats depend on perpetuating the “victim” status of blacks, women and immigrants, in particular. But Democrats don’t do anything to help such people, because their victimhood is far more valuable.

No member of the Congressional White Caucus was available for comment.
