Congressional Black Caucus plans to disrupt House Tuesday

Maybe a better way to look at the numbers is to take deaths as a share of the victims’ population (based on 2014 population estimates from the US Census bureau). That’s a measure of the risk to any person of dying at the hands of each ethnic group. Here again, whites are at far higher risk of being killed by other whites than by blacks. It does, however, underscore that a black person runs a far higher risk of being killed by another black person than for any other combination by far.
Homicides in the US by millions, victim and perpetrator:
Blacks killing whites – 4.4
Whites killing whites – 10.1
Whites killing blacks – 1.8
Blacks killing blacks – 52.3

Maybe the Black Caucus should take a more extended look at the problems of the people they wish to represent before they decide to disrupt things even further. It’s easier to see the splinter in someone else’s eye than the log in your own.

Ryan should hire 100 clowns and have them intermingle with the democrats when they pull this crap.

[knarf]

Just truth in advertising

"and now, unsurprisingly, they are emboldened."

I milked THAT one to death when obumbled first entered office

Recall how emboldened blacks were and sympathetic the media was

They both jumped for joy with the obama presidency

[hal ogen]

These racist pigs need to get a clue. Fools.

[Lexington Green]

Another commie circle-jerk.

Non-Black membership
All past and present members of the caucus have been black. In 2006, while running for Congress in a Tennessee district which is 60% black, white candidate Steve Cohen pledged to apply for membership in order to represent his constituents. However, after his election, his application was refused.[3] Although the bylaws of the caucus do not make race a prerequisite for membership, former and current members of the caucus agreed that the group should remain "exclusively black". In response to the decision, Rep. Cohen referred to his campaign promise as "a social faux pas" because "It's their caucus and they do things their way. You don't force your way in. You need to be invited."

Rep. William Lacy Clay, Jr., D-MO., the son of Rep. William Lacy Clay Sr., D-MO., a co-founder of the caucus, said: "Mr. Cohen asked for admission, and he got his answer. He's white and the caucus is black. It's time to move on. We have racial policies to pursue and we are pursuing them, as Mr. Cohen has learned. It's an unwritten rule. It's understood." Clay also issued the following statement:

"Quite simply, Rep. Cohen will have to accept what the rest of the country will have to accept—there has been an unofficial Congressional White Caucus for over 200 years, and now it's our turn to say who can join 'the club.' He does not, and cannot, meet the membership criteria, unless he can change his skin color. Primarily, we are concerned with the needs and concerns of the black population, and we will not allow white America to infringe on those objectives."
