This claim is wildly inaccurate. Some black politicians may have supported it at the time. Several articles says that the black politicians were pressured into supporting it. The bill was introduced by Jack Brooks, drafted by Joe Biden, and signed into law by Bill Clinton. The bill was based on Bill Clinton's campaign promise to be tough on crime. It was not lead by black leaders.
I believe black leaders led the 1994 crime bill too. This is a pattern. (See: Pete Buttchug, Obama, Copmala, etc.)

Good to know. I was just remembering off the top of my head.
