Rep. Byron Donalds, one of only two Black Republicans in the House, says that he has been snubbed by the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).
Donalds' communications director Harrison Fields told Fox News that the Florida Republican has engaged with multiple members of the CBC, an influential and officially nonpartisan group, to tell them he’s interested in joining but still hasn’t gotten an invite. Other freshman lawmakers were inducted into the group six months ago.
"Since starting in Congress, our office and the Congressman have engaged with several CBC members expressing his interest in joining, but all we've got is the cold shoulder," Fields said. "The sad reality is although the Congressman and those in the CBC share the same race, the (R) behind his name disqualifies him from membership today."
...Former Rep. Mia Love, Utah, was the group’s last GOP member, who three years before she joined in 2015 said members of the group "sit there" and "ignite racism."
The shutout draws parallels to that faced by former Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., who was denied admission to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, after a bitter back-and-forth and a final vote among members to keep him out.

Badge of honor.
It’s a blessing to be thrown out of a house of ill repute. Or is he complaining he aint black enough and actually wants to be part of the tribe of miscreants
Black Marxists and racial fascists don’t like Black Republicans at any time.
The CBC proves this all the time. If you checked the background records of most of the current and esp. past CBC members/leaders, you would find pages upon pages of documentation of their support for communist fronts and causes including those from the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), the now shriveled Trotskyite “Socialist Workers Party”, the Trot/Stalinist “Workers World Party” (and its fronts IAC, ANSWER, leadership in United for Peace & Justice, and Maoists of the NION (Not In Our Name) and/or the Revolutionary Communist Party’s “Refuse/Resist Fascism fronts.
The greater majority of past and present CBC members could not get a real security clearance on their best day (foreign ties to Communist Cuba, Marxist Venezuela and Bolivia, supported the Marxist FLMN in El Salvador and the communist Sandinistas in Nicaragua, the SACP/ANC in So. Africa, the Marxist SWAPO in SW Africa, the reds in Mozambique, Angola and Guinea Bissau/Cape Verde, and some support/ed the PLO/Fatah, Hamas and Hezbollah as an arm of Iran and its terrorism movement.
I think I’ve made my point.
Call it what it is...a segregationist group of libs.
He is highlighting their hypocrisy, not really complaining but just forcing them to go on record that they do not live up to their advertised beliefs.
Bryon Donalds is calling the CBC out for hypocrisy. Gary Franks had the same problem in the 90s.
Same thing happened to Rep Allen West (R-FL). Black Dems don’t like dissenting views in their little club.
Will they conduct an exorcism ceremony that strips Mr. Donalds of his blackness? Remember that Biden proclamed during the presidential campaign, “If you don’t vote for me, you’re not black.” So in our brave new world, we can choose not only our own race, but also that of others.
Every time I see one of their press conferences I can’t help but be reminded of a Mystic Knights of the Sea lodge meeting. There are multiple Algonquin J. Calhouns, Kingfishes, Mamas, Lightnings and Andys in the caucus.

That makes him more of an oddity. No wonder they don't want him. They are afraid he might convert too many of the members to the Republican side of the aisle.
We all knew that.
