8184: The Madison Avenue Senate.


When the 112th Congress is sworn in this coming January, there will be zero Black U.S. Senators, which inspired MultiCultClassics to create a name for the governmental body: The Madison Avenue Senate.

Look for the elected officials to do the following:

• Insist that Blacks simply aren’t interested in being senators, opting for more lucrative careers in hip hop or the NBA.

• Grumble behind closed doors, “There’s an Afro-American in the Oval Office—what more do these people want?”

• Hire a lame duck Chief Diversity Officer.

Delegate diversity to minority delegates in the U.S. House of Representatives.

• Declare, “We’ve got to do a better job with diversity.” Then do absolutely nothing for at least the next 80 years.

• Complain that all opposition is being orchestrated by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

• Organize a Congressional Diversity Development Advisory Committee featuring lots of friendly celebrities—except Kanye West.

• Admit in a self-deprecating tone, “Hey, I’m just an Old White Guy.

• Sponsor a special U.S. Senate ADCOLOR® Award.

• Reposition themselves as having a cross-cultural agenda.

• Launch inner-city minority youth outreach programs to woo future candidates—because, doggone it, Blacks aren’t even aware that the U.S. Senate exists.
