I Called the Congressional Black Caucus, Congressional Hispanic caucus Congressional Native American caucus, and said why is this caucus, based on skin color, not descrimination. Silence on the line.
Can you imagine the outrage that would ensue if there was a congressional white caucus?
Agre completely. And while we’re at it, let’s let a computer draw up the Congressional Districts for all the states. Enough of this gerrymandering by Party to assure certain seats are ALWAYS one party or the other.
*agree*
Not my monkeys, not my circus.
If they want to live in a monochromatic world, where only the color of their skin is a qualifier, then let them live in obscurity.
They are living in the land time forgot.
Martin Luther King dreamed of day where people would be judged on the content of their character and they still want to issue an APB: Look for Black Guy.
Stupid....
” Can you imagine the outrage that would ensue if there was a congressional white caucus?”
That has to happen if we want to end all the other identity based caucuses, and it has to happen forcefully with all the confidence and moral indignation we can muster, to put an end to their vile hypocrisy.
I agree. No groups based on skin color. Let’s strive to be colorblind and bring people together. Group with similar needs but not based on race.
So many people don’t have one race anyway. It’s unscientific to force them to “choose one” and pits races against each other. Why the hell is Obama “black?” Or Mariah Carey??
All but the bikini caucus. They need to maintain their historic place in cheezy beach movies. I will be on the streets with my bull, uh, horn ...or is that beaches? Can someone give my a ride? I’ll supply the umbrella.
The truth is that probaby the black caucus started because they perceived slights against them societally. In 2016 white males have good reason to feel slighted against.
Hear Hear !
Totally agree. We are all Americans.
Let’s not. That’s the quickest way to get the Communists back into power. Dems need to be corralled into as small amounts of areas as possible.
Exactly. That is the main reason for the rise of the alt/right.
The attacks against whites is way over the top - a lot of it coming from pathetic, inappropriately guilt-ridden, self-loathing whites.
If sane whites don’t start pushing back forcefully, we’ll soon be third class citizens.
I know this is a little rude, but how about a Vagina Caucus, and a Penis Caucus, and perhaps a few caucuses based on Sexual Behavior? Maybe a gender-confused caucus, too. We know that there will soon be a Muslim Caucus if they elect Ellison to head the DNC. We can be a congress of competing caucuses and tribes, to reflect the benefits of racial, cultural, sexual, and gender enrichment and diversity. Forget melting pot, lets celebrate the benefits of special tribal interests.
Don’t laugh. The California legislature has a caucus for the gay and lesbian members. There are enough such open homosexual people there to actually form a caucus.
Newt Gingrich defunded them once:
In late 1994, after Republicans attained a majority in the House, they announced plans to rescind funding for 28 “legislative service organizations” which received taxpayer funding and occupied offices at the Capitol, including the CBC. Then-chairman Kweisi Mfume protested the decision. The House did abolish the legislative service organizations, including the CBC, by a voice vote on H.Res.6 on January 4, 1995, which prohibited the establishment or continuation of any legislative service organization...”
Deplorable caucus.
Now start calling universities across the nation & ask why they have Hispanic Cultural Centers & Womens Centers, etc., etc...& no white cultural centers.
May we soon see Political Correctness retreating and on the run.
