Ask a past black Senator, who became President, and past Chairperson of the Congressional Black Caucus, who is now beginning a 15th term in Congress:

The Congressional Black Caucus called for Rep. Steve King (R-Ia.) to be removed from his committee assignments Saturday after remarks he made about white supremacy earlier this week.
CBC chair Rep. Karen Bass (D-Ca.) linked King's comments to President Trump and asked for him to be deposed.
“Like Donald Trump,” she said, “Steve King has sought again and again to give comfort to white supremacists, something that should never be allowed in the halls of Congress or the Oval Office.
Bass characterized King's remarks as "racist" and the Iowa Republican needed more than just condemnation.
“If Republicans really believe these racist statements have no place in our government, then their party must offer more than shallow temporary statements of condemnation. Instead they must actually condemn Mr. King by removing him from his committee assignments so that he can no longer affect policies that impact the very people he has made it clear he disdains.
"Anything less than substantive actions is another tacit acceptance of racism from the Republican party”, Bass added.
ETC...
Ask a past black Senator, who became President, and past Chairperson of the Congressional Black Caucus, who is now beginning a 15th term in Congress:
I call her MoFo Tlaid.
How about Levin (their Levin not our Levin) who threatens violence?
Can he be thrown out of committees?
The Recucklicans will probably go along with this.
The Racist History of the Democratic Party
And note the author.
Isn’t the Congressional Black Caucus, by Definition a Racist group??
F the racist black caucus and I mean that with every fiber of my body.
I learned a long time ago to see the real thing and in context before making up my mind. The media has been fake news for longer than just Trumps term.
The only people who care about that in any numbers are white Republicans over the age of 60. Ever presented a lib with that information? They know. They do not care.
Congressional Black Caucus calls for Steve King to be removed from committees

Oh, yeah?
Well, I call for the Congressional Black Caucus to be removed as a blatantly racist organization of hateful, leftist sub-intellects.

EXCERPT .....the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) voted Sheila Jackson Lee as the new chairwoman of the board overseeing the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, the leadership development arm of the CBC........America can look forward to more eager Black leaders like icon John Conyers (forced out of Congress for molesting women), Alcee Hastings (used $220,000 tax dollars to settle sex complaint), Jesse Jackson Jr (incarcerated), Corinne Brown (incarcerated), Chakah Fattah (incarcerated), Black Muslim Andre Carson, Black Muslim Keith Ellison, Yvette Clarke (wrote off $120,000 tax dollars and massive amts of “stolen” govt issue tech equipment)......
Congress has a Black Caucus Racism Problem

/ FR Posted by SJackson
The vicious cycle of racism and thievery in the CBC must be broken. The Congressional Black Caucus had a front seat to #MeToo with the revelation that $220,000 had been paid out to a staffer alleging sexual harassment by Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL), a former judge impeached for bribery whose girlfriend has been on his payroll to the tune of $2.4 million, and that Rep. Conyers (D-MI) had his own sexual harassment settlement. That scandal forced Rep. Conyers to resign and hand the seat to his son at the behest of his wife, Monica, who had been convicted of bribery.
Corruption, fraud and bribery are ongoing problems at the Congressional Black Caucus.
After two decades of financial scandals, Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL) was convicted of running a fake charity and sentenced in December. Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) was sentenced last December for bribery, fraud and money laundering. His son, Chaka Fattah Jr, was already in prison on unrelated bank fraud charges. Around the same time the wife of Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Il) had wrapped up her prison sentence after her husband had ended his prison term a year earlier on fraud charges. Hardly a year goes by without a criminal case involving a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. Bribery and fraud, fake charities and money laundering to pay for the high life are familiar CBC themes . Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. bought a gold Rolex, Michael Jackson and Malcolm X memorabilia, and mink capes. Rep. Brown stole from poor children to pay for an NFL luxury box (won’t you take a knee) and a Beyonce concert. Chaka Fattah Jr. bought Hermes ties and a Ritz-Carlton condo.
These aren’t aberrations. They’re part of the culture of corruption at the Congressional Black Caucus. The year that Barack Obama, a former CBC member whose level of corruption outdid any of his former colleagues by climbing into the high stratospheric billions and using the Justice Department to run a massive slush fund, took office, every single House member investigated on ethics charges was CBC. A former study suggested that a third of CBC legislators had faced an ethics probe. That’s what a culture of political corruption looks like.
But the Congressional Black Caucus has consistently blamed all of its corruption troubles on racism. And CBC members would always play the race card. Rep. Corrine Brown had improbably claimed that Obama’s DOJ had targeted her because “I’m a black woman with a mouth.” It’s the same old racist excuse. And racism is the usual cover story for CBC corruption.
When Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) was accused of stealing a woman’s first class airplane seat, she claimed that it only happened “because I was an African American woman, seemingly an easy target.” The woman she casually accused of racism had no previous idea of who even stole her seat. And as a Democrat and a human rights activist was probably angry about her lost seat, not the politician’s race.
No one can be too surprised at a politician receiving preferential treatment at the expense of ordinary citizens. Especially a politician who had once allegedly howled, “You don’t understand. I am a queen, and I demand to be treated like a queen.” It’s the eagerness with which CBC members shut down any conversations about their corruption with casual accusations of racism that is the real problem. The worst offender in the Conyers sexual harassment case wasn’t actually the congressman in question. It was another Black Caucus member who came to his defense by accusing his victims of racism. Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) allegedly claimed that Conyers’ accusers were all white women. And suggested that the accusations were somehow racially motivated. Other CBC members threatened Democrats who criticized Rep. Conyers and there were suggestions that the calls for his resignation were racist. “Do you go and stalk white people’s houses or just come to the black neighborhoods and stalk our houses?” Monica Conyers demanded.
The claim that Rep. Conyers’ accusers were “all white women” proved to be a lie. But it shouldn’t have mattered what race the women accusing a politician of sexual harassment were. Nor should it have mattered what race the passenger whose seat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee allegedly stole might have been. The reflexive accusations of racism by Congressional Black Caucus members hurled at their alleged victims and at any attempt to bring them to justice is at the root of the CBC’s culture of racial corruption. The Caucus is a racially exclusive body. And it uses race and racism as weapons to protect its privileges of power. It doesn’t admit white politicians who represent African-American districts. “It is critical that its membership remain exclusively African American,” Rep. William Lacy Clay Sr. (D-MO) had written.
Referring to a white Democrat’s membership bid from an African-American district, he declared that, “he does not, and cannot, meet the membership criteria unless he can change his skin color.” It’s the same familiar mantra of slavery and segregation but with a politically correct twist.Rep. Clay has paid out nearly a million dollars in campaign funds to his sister’s law firm.
He made a dumb comment and is getting burned. I’m sure he misspoke, but Republicans get cut no slack, and they need to know that and act accordingly.
If the members of the Congressional Black Caucus had been vetted for subversive activities and affiliations/associations since the late 1960’s, some would still be in jail for treason (Conyers, JR., Crockett (d), Mitchell (d), Hawkins (d)(admitted former Communist Party member), Cynthia McKinney (still insane, anti-Semitic and anti-white after all these years), Danny Davis, Barbara Lee, Ron Dellums (d), etc.
One good documentation source on many of the above is the book “The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress”, 2013-2015 edition, Trevor Loudon, Pacific Freedom Foundation. Go to www.keywiki.org for more information on these and other reds in the CBC.
who is fueling that i wonder?
Here's the quote from the NYT interview, and a link to the NYT article.
Steve King:
“White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” Mr. King said. “Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?”
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/10/us/politics/steve-king-trump-immigration-wall.html
To the typical NYT reader, "white nationalist" and "white supremacist" mean "Nazi." The sign that King did not intend his words to have that meaning is the third term in his list, "Western civilization." While white supremacism and white nationalism were compatible with the Nazism, most of Western civilization definitely was not. 70-85 million people died to prove it.
King is not a Nazi or a racist. My guess is that King intended to say that he misses the days before "white" became a four letter word, when it was generally considered good to be proud of our nation. If so, he did a terrible job of saying it.
The left's outrage against King is, as usual, ridiculous. A fair interviewer would have immediately asked King to clarify his statement, but the NYT is not interested in fairness. The agenda always comes first.
However, I think the right has a valid complaint against King for not choosing his words more carefully. Gaffes lose elections. King's gaffe is now being used to smear ALL Republicans.
The Congressional Black Caucus are the racists in this story; Bass is flexing her muscle....Ms. Bass, just because you don't like what Rep. Steve King said doesn't make him a racist.
Sure, right after they censure all members of the Congressional Black Caucus who have supported Louis Farrakhan.
THE POST OF THE DECADE.
Ok, 1/3 there is offensive and I’m sure he didn’t mean he was in favor of white supremacy.
But as far as the rest, I’m right there with him. I’m white, I’m a nationalist, and I believe Western Civilization, which was largely white, created the modern world. We’re willing to share the fruits of My White Culture with those willing to appreciate them. And if you don’t, then quit appropriating my culture. Things like electricity, modern medicine, etc.
On the general topic, there’s this, which nails it:
