As a white liberal running in a majority African American district, Tennessee Democrat Stephen I. Cohen made a novel pledge on the campaign trail last year: If elected, he would seek to become the first white member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Now that he's a freshman in Congress, Cohen has changed his plans. He said he has dropped his bid after several current and former caucus members made it clear to him that whites need not apply.

I don't recall Jada Pinkett Smith or Al Sharpton screaming bigotry. Do you?
The term “racism” was invented by communists. Leon Trotsky was one of the first to use it. When whites engage in favoritism toward other whites (and therefore discrimination against non-whites), it’s called “racism”. When other groups engage in favoritism, it’s called “ethnic solidarity”. When you buy into these word games, it’s called being a useful idiot.
Racist is an interesting word, after all who are the real racists? A person that loves their race, is proud of all it’s accomplishments, wants to live with their own kind and preserve their heritage? Or is a racist someone that is trying to destroy someone’s heritage through mass foreign immigration, diversity, multiculturalism and race mixing?
Whitey is welcome, but not eligible for awards.
Funny how the old becomes the new, as in Separate But Equal.
All the CBC is good for is discriminating against whites. And now they want Affirmative Action in Hollyweird.
We know who the racists are.
Cohen is a liberal dope who buys into this whole racial privilege and racial bean counting system that Libs set up. So he is getting what he deserves. Welcome to the world of being a self-imposed lower class citizen, Steve.
A “racist” is someone who sees their race as superior to other races, on the basis of race alone. “Racism” is acting on that belief.
The increasingly convoluted PC definition and use of it (like when it comes to Muslims, who are by choice members of a religion, not a race) is an example of how the Left employs language and labels to dominate the debate and drown out opposing views.
I’m still upset that Mia Love joined that mob..
How long will it be before the Mudslimes have their own caucus in Congress?
Correct!
The Congressional Black Caucus does a pretty good job representing Muslim interests.
And if you say Islam is not a race, the liberals will come back with, “Well, the vast majority of Muslims in the world are `people of color’, so yes, it’s racist to be anti-Muslim!”
FWIW, a liberal who calls any Arab a `person of color’ will get his throat cut. Arabs believe they are the whitest of white people.
Has he made that clear to the 60% in his district? It might open a few eyes.
