Racism in Congress: The Black Caucus

Capitalism Magazine ^ | December 23, 2002 | Ron Pisaturo

Why is the media silent on this issue? A Congressional White Caucus dedicated to advancing "white interests" wouldn't last 2 seconds before being obliterated by the nonstop media maelstrom.

Two hundred years from now, no history textbook will mention the Trent Lott incident or even Trent Lott. But the textbooks will contain statements such as this: “Even as late as the 21st century, brazen racism was entrenched in American government. There was even a gang of Congressmen that called itself ‘The Congressional Black Caucus!’”

I doubt it. 200 years from now, whites will be a virtually extinct and hated/persecuted minority all over the world very much like the Jews. Programs like affirmative action will be seen as necessary to break the oppressive evil hold of white males on the government. Organizations like the Congressional Black Caucus will be seen as noble for standing up against the most evil group in history. Remember, history is written by the victors, the average white woman has only 1.4 children when you need 2.1 to break even. In 200 years whites will be a minority in both US and Europe and because of their disproportionate success in job/academic fields they will be hated and envied and laws will be passed to discriminate against and hold them back. Think about it, if whites can't get a fair shake on affirmative action, etc today, how the hell can you expect it in 200 years when you're a minority?

When you look at macro economic picture, you have to look at them as a group.

This is exactly the collectivist racist reasoning that this article is about.

[Tailgunner Joe]

Anyone who restricts their own market on racial grounds is restricting their own potential profits.

You should not accuse people of racism so lightly: it's an insult and a sin when you have no reasons whatever for such an opinion.

Note also that you provide no reasoning in your posts. I tried to explain to you the errors. Like child, you merely repeat yourself. I am not interested in such exchange.

Have a merry Christmas.

You claimed that racist restrictions on free enterprise do not cause competitive disadvantage. That is patently false. All resrictions on free enterprise cause competitive disadvantage to those who are restricted. I challenge you to refute this.

Your argument that blacks had no way to purchase any theoretical 'services' is also patently false.

The fact that blacks as a collective have less than whites is irrelevant to the workings of an open free enterprise system. Individuals are free to purchase whatever they can afford. Their race is irrelevant.

[TopQuark]

GO buy a book, Joe.

[Tailgunner Joe]

Not all additions of a member productive by himself make the group more productive.

Is an individual unable to be productive because the majority of his collective race is unproductive?

Free Enterprise is a system of individual well-being. It is Socialism that is concerned with the collective well-being of groups, whether they be racial or socio-economic.

Actually, I don't think the CBC is racist.

The CBC gives new meaning to the word "racist."

Bookmarked.

Ah, the minority caucus of the minority party. How prestigious. What set them off today? Oh, I see, they think that THEY caused Lott to step down. Hmmm. Nurse Ratchet - double the medication!

Let's start with 'honkey'.....No doubt, Al and Jesse use this phrase with regularity.

phrase=term

I wondered how long it would take for someone to focus on the Black Caucus. The rampant racism in this country is the disease of the Democrats, not the Republicans. That needs the spotlight until it is wiped out.

[TAIPAN22001]

Amen and Amen!

[goldstategop]

A Congressional White Caucus would be immediately seen as segregationist and racist and would not to be tolerated. Ahh but the enlightened standards of our society deem some forms of racism to be more equal than others. The CBC is nothing more and nothing less than a liberal segregationist group pursuing that nefarious agenda known as liberalism.
