Congressional Black Caucus Lashes Out at Black Democrat Turned Republican, Artur Davis
Nobody likes a turncoat. Everyone watched as former Senator Alen Specter, a Republican who became a Democrat in 2009, was defeated after his party switch. So no one should be surprised at how Artur Davis, a black Democrat who recently switched to become a Republican, is being treated by his former Democratic colleagues. Not surprisingly, his black colleagues are most critical of his decision to change his party affiliation.
Davis’ switch is viewed by most as a strategy for reentering politics since he failed miserably in his attempt at getting the Democratic nomination in his
bid to become governor of Alabama. Since running as a Democrat didn’t work, Davis is re-entering politics as a Republican, and throwing his support behind Mitt Romney to boot. To make matters worse, Davis, who supported candidate Obama in 2008, is scheduled to speak at the RNC convention.
For fourteen members of the Congressional Black Caucus, this was the final straw, causing them to write a letter to Davis announcing their displeasure.
“Given the magnitude of your recent transformation, we can only conclude that, rather than a true conversion, your actions are the result of a nakedly personal and political calculation or simmering anguish after failing to secure the Democratic nomination for governor of the State of Alabama in 2010,” the members wrote in a letter addressed to Davis.
Four years ago, Davis seconded Barack Obama’s nomination at the DNC convention, so it is doubtful that Davis has had a change of heart in less than four years.
The CBC letter ended with another admonition of Davis, stating ”We regret that you have chosen this course, but are confident that the American people see your pronouncements for what they are and come to the same disappointing conclusion of your former colleagues.”

Just because you are Black(skin tone only) doesn’t exempt you from being a lamebrain idiot….The only significant factor between a Black man and White man is the skin tone….Everything else are the same such as the heart, kidney, liver, blood, et cetera…….

This un-organization is full of Boule’ negroids!!!
God help him he cant help himself. Such a stupid sellout. Let him go he is not worth the blood that was shed for him to vote. The best thing you can do for him is vote and make sure that you register someone else to vote. Pray and Vote Obama 2012
What an idiot.
Arthur Davis is far from being an idiot. He is just trying to get him another government job. Arthur is capible and confident enough to be a excellent public servant, but trying for the Governership of Alabama was a stretch. He might be lacking in character but, Arthur Davis is no idiot.
WHITE FOLK DID NOT VOT EFOR HIM WHEN RAN FOR GOVERNOR AND GOT WHAT HE DESERVES – NOTHING-GUSSUST WHAT HE IS GETTING FROM THE REPUBLICANS – NOTHING – VOTE OBAMS, VOTE OBAMA, VOTE OBAMA
It will take Artur Davis a long time to see the light regarding the Republicans.
Herman Can now the light regarding the Republicans, for a while he were thinking the Dem’s killed his Campiagn, Caom dodm’t relize that his non-friends were standing beside him on stage. Two many white working class American claimed to like his 999 plan, that was a HOAX, but Cain though it was real.
If Herman Cain relizes how the Republicans were treating President Obama, he would have know that there will never be another Black in the W.H., which cancel any chance of a Brown man becoming President or VP. Marco Rubio. No way were the Republicans establishment would let Romney choose Rubio as VP.
And THAT THE WORD FOR Artur Davis.
So that is why Hispanics call Black People Black Anglos. It must be a by product of empire.
I Tell You. The United States Is Getting More And More Ignorant “n*****s” And Not Nearly Enough REAL AFRICAN AMERICANS That’s Willing To Support A REAL AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN AND PRESIDENT. I Am Doing What Father God And Lord Jesus Want Me To Do. Trying To Save Our Children, Our Women And Our Race. Also Trying To Make Sure President Obama Get Re-elected But I Wish Father God And Lord Jesus Would Let Me Start Removing These Racist From This World And These Ignorant “n****r” Pieces Of Trash.
Where is the freedom that Dr King fought for, it is sad that any one that does not look up to Mr: Obama is trashed and called all kinds of dirty names, the same people that lambast Davis will go to work tomorrow for the white man that they talk down on, I wonder would they tell the man to his face what they say on this web site? no I doubt that would happen from cowards, this is a free country so let people choose from their own mind, stop having an in line march for black America that is where the chains are.
Your right Joe L those cowards that we may work for could’nt handle the truth-they fathers and great grandfathers a many of them stole and pilferaged from every soul on earth to acquire whatever business they may own; and depending on what it manufacturers you best to believe minorities have supported it.
As I asked of you before-can you use your leadership skills and help us—
Boycott Christmas 2012
The real Chains are, trying to be Accepted where you are really not Welcome. Davis is only being Used as a p**n,to be Thrown Out after Use…Wake Up!!
He even looks like a black republican!!!!!
Yes, Davis has a right to be a turncoat, and by the same token people have a right to have an opinion about it and speak out on it. This negro seconded Obama’s nomination four years ago! Now he’s speaking at the Republican convention just four years later? He couldn’t win with the home team, so now he’s sleeping with the enemy just so he can advance his own political career. Obviously, this negro has no moral core and will do anything to further his own selfish aim. He would rather side with a bunch of racist Republicans than care for the welfare of black people. He deserves all of the criticism that he gets. PRAY AND VOTE FOR OBAMA in 2012!
In the words of Richard Pryor’s aunt when she saw him with a white woman on his arm ” umph umph umph boy you ought to be ashamed of yourself turning into a republican”
He’s just another white n****r.
I CALL THEM negroids, which is a chocolate covered caucasoid! In other words; there one in the same just like both of these parties!!!
DemoncRATic presidents, along with rePOOPlikkklan presidents owned slaves, even when they were in office, so why back up any of these racist devils?
NOW YOU KNOW!
It is SUPPOSED to be a free country. As such, the man has the right to switch parties. I doubt that he will succeed with the Republicans. They will USE him but they will never TRUST him.
Those who believe that Autur Davis has the right to be in whatever party he chooses are missing the point. It’s what that party represents. Hundreds of years ago, when Lincoln freed the slaves, Most Blacks were Republicans. The Republican party isn’t that party anymore, and Blacks know it. They also know that Artur Davis is an opportunist first, politician second. Blacks are concerned because it DOES matter which party gets in office. Davis’ concern seem to be which party will get HIM in office.
