Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) has called on Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to demote the official coordinating Haiti relief efforts for not having enough minority staffers.

The House Judiciary Committee Chairman sent a letter to Clinton on Thursday after Rajiv Shah, administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, showed up at a meeting with the 42-member Congressional Black Caucus without any African American staffers in tow.

Didn't somebody famous that has a day named after them say something about judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin? I guess that does not impress John Conyers.

Why in the world does the coordinator of Haiti relief efforts have a meeting with the black caucus?

Conyers wouldn’t care how many more will die in Haiti, so long as politically correct “diversity” can be ensured in every part of the bureaucracy at all times

I stepped in some ‘Conyers’ in the cow pasture just now. Really stunk, too.

Don’t you mean rable rouser not rebel rouser? I could see how Conyers might cause rebels to be roused but I’m thinking you mean people of color who depend on handouts getting all worked up fo being disrespected.

So much for merit hiring. Conyers doesn’t care about how effective the relief effort is, only about the composition of the group tasked with delivering it.

Just not the “correct” minority, lol!

To what weirdness has Conyers sunk to, eh?

Blatant Quota-ism.

This is a joke, right?? They’re still pulling starving, crushed survivors out of f**kin’ rubble and this asshat is worried about racial bean counting the rescuers?!

EVERY black person ought to be insulted by this. If ever there were a teachable moment for blacks on their slavish devotion to “civil rights hucksters, this is it.
