Bye! She done nothing for the blacks .

[mustangs]

As a black person i can say bye she has done nothing for our people.

[glimpsesofmylife]

She did nothing for anyone but herself. Cussed out her assistants, was always there to keep the lies up.

[cueoneful]

She Did Nothing For Minorities. NOTHING.

[graceweber]

I doubt she worked hard for the public.

Oh that is so sad, no more entitled congresswoman who asked the airline to move someone out of the first class seat so she can have that seat..!!

[pallmall]

So hold up, we aren't suppose to cheer about this right??

[chriscosby]

Didn't she think we landed a man on Mars?

[mikusoxlongius]

Today, as a Huwite man, I feel a little less hated.

[josejosejose]

YouTube removed all my comments about this congresswoman. I wonder why?

[pilljr.]

She always seemed angry anytime she was on tv.

[Mbowman]

I'm sure they'll blame trump!

[joycemclean]

She won’t a good congresswoman she had to much hate in her. Hate is like a wound keep picking at will never heal!!!

You know you're getting old when these early Hip Hop greats start passing away..

[adamweingart]

She hasnt done a dam thing for the blacks

[samuelhowie]

Condolences to her family. It does seem odd that it's another case of hiding a Representatives health condition from the public.

[PoppoFitz]

Remember… As much as she had characteristic flaws and such… Remember the people who voted for her… They are the problem!

[wqipmrs]

Sad but this is better for the black community. She was horrible for black people

[speaklife]

Shame on her for running for mayor.
I am glad she will BOTH be on the ballot!!
Horrible congress woman who enriched her self - GREED and did NOT do ANYTHING for us in Houston!!

RIP and my condolences to the family, the Republican party must stand tall on our values and show class in times like this, that could very well be the deciding factor for some undecided voters, THEY MIGHT ACTUALLY WANT TO LEAN TOWARDS THE PARTY WITH CLASS so let's think about the importance of our party gaining votes, AND REMAIN CLASSY👍🏾
