Congress Never Wanted Black Power In Washington DC. Many Repubs Are Afraid Of DC Becoming 51st State

The House passed a bill today to make Washington, D.C. the 51st state, marking the first time a chamber of Congress has ever voted in favor of giving the city of 700,000 people voting representation in the legislature. Here are some of the arguments.

The measure will now go to the Senate. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who has already said he won't bring it to the Senate floor for a vote.

A growing number of Democrats have spoken up in support of statehood since the House bill was introduced in January 2019. The call became even louder after President Donald Trump called in the National Guard to police the streets during protests and unrest following the killing of George Floyd.

But why are so many Republicans afraid of DC becoming the 51st state in the union? Radio show host Mark Thompson said during Friday's edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered, " Congress never wanted Black power in DC".
