If you are black and you don’t vote, you do not deserve the color of your skin. That’s at least how Congressional Black Caucus head Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) put it during a recent speech on voting rights.
After explaining the struggles blacks had to go through to get the right to vote, Cleaver launched into a tirade against those who decide not to exercise it.
“That’s why I become so angry at any African-American who refuses to vote,” he said. “They are not worth the color if they don’t vote. They ought to give us their color back. Their African-American credentials need to be snatched if they don’t vote.”
“That’s an insult to the ancestors and the people who brought us to where we are right now,” he added. “There’d be no Black Caucus but for the black men and women who fought and died that we might have an opportunity to gather here in Washington that there would be 42 members of the Congressional Black Caucus.”
OOOOOO.......that is SO raaaaaa....cisssss!
What are us melanin challenged human beings worth?
3/5th of a human being.
I despise this man.
Of course they must vote democrat.
Of course they must vote democrat.

I still cannot comprehend how something called a Congressional Black Caucus is constitutionally allowed to exist.This is a governmental entity whose sole purpose is to effect legislation that is favorable to one segment of the population based on skin color. Same for the hispanic caucus or a white caucus if ever one was created. It seems to violate the letter and spirit of the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment.
It’s a Democrat tool to keep Blacks on the plantation.
“If you are black and you don’t vote, you do not deserve the color of your skin.”
Of course if they were to vote republican he probably wouldn’t be as sanguine.
In which case, Cleaver and his cohort would demand not only the color, but the skin itself...
And there's be no NAACP without white Republicans who helped found it. In fact, the first president of the NAACP was a white Republican.
Field-Negro = Democrat
House-Negro = Republican
You slaves on the plantation better vote like the overseer says.
Hey Mr. Cleaver. If the Democrats had won the election in 1860, you would still be picking cotton.
PANIC IS SETTING IN!
Why insult your own people when you and the media are already telling us that "definitely, absolutely" 0kaka is winning? How many times did you RATs announce that the election is over?
More racism from the left, yet “respectable” conservatives continue to navel gaze.
Congressional Black Caucus is a loony bin full of crooks and people like Emmanuel Cleaver who love emote and act out for the TV cameras to get it back to their ignorant benighted constituents who will never vote them out of office, no matter how crooked or crazy they are
These idiots are over the top same as Reverend Wright was
