"No other ethnic political apparatus in this country is so firmly in the pocket of one party as African-Americans and the Democratic Party. For decades, Democrats have pandered to African-Americans at election time, then forgot their promises a day later. And yet, we keep coming back, waiting for more empty promises.
"The Black Press is complicit in this abusive relationship. Let’s look at one recent example. In the run-up to the 2010 elections in Illinois, no black media outlet completely ignored every Republican primary. All of them. The mainstream press, on the other hand, weighed in on both the Democratic and Republican primaries. Justifiably outraged by this, Republican nominee for the Congressional seat currently held by Jesse Jackson, Jr penned this open letter to the Illinois Black media."
