CNS News: If blacks don't vote, 'snatch' the 'color back,' says Cleaver
By: Devonia Smith
September 22, 2012
Friday, CNS News surfaced a C-SPAN video of Chairman Emanuel Cleaver of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) passionately demanding that African-Americans who don't vote, "ought to give us their color back." The video was taped the evening before when Cleaver was speaking to a CBC forum on the subject of voting rights.
There was no laughter from the audience when Cleaver angrily declared, "They (blacks) aren't worth the color if they don't vote; they ought to give us their color back." Apparently, that wasn't strong enough because Cleaver vehemently added, "Their African-American credentials need to be snatched!"

how shallow they are to define themselves by the color of their skinThat's not shallow, that's good economic sense-- for the very reason you mention.

I wish politicians, talk show hosts, or anyone who gives a damn about this country would employ this tactic.
Once attacked, they should hold a press conference in which they stand there and do nothing but repeat the original quote with proper attribution in response to all questions.

I suppose this is like being accused of racism, but, it only works if I believe it.

No but there is going to be a bunch of colorless folks walking around. Will it become another special interest group? This crap is getting a bit old at this point. For a Post racial President we sure spend alot of time talking about skin pigmentation.

The concept of “race traitors” is itself racist.
