What the hell? That's crap. That's racist. That group is flat-out, no-bones-about-it racist. WHY is there a "Black" caucus in Congress?!
Call me wrong on this one, but if a group of white members from Congress started a new caucus and said that only old white men were allowed to be members, they'd all individually be lambasted in the press and labeled for life as racists. Hell, even if they actually voted for, but then stopped someone from joining who was not old and white, they'd still be called racists, even though they gave the person a shot (regardless of intention).
If everyone truly wants a color-blind society, KNOCK IT OFF with the stupid "Black [This]" and "African-American [That]" BS and integrate with society. And, the same goes for you numbnuts KKK jackoffs and white supremacist idiots.
Would the Congressional Black Caucus allow a Latino Congressman into their fold? Somebody should ask. What about an American who has a Chinese heritage?
Oh, and on that one... You're an AMERICAN, not a Chinese-American. You're not an African-American. There is no hyphen because your citizenship is with the United States of America. If you call yourself a, "Greek-American," you have dual citizenship. What's that? You don't have citizenship in Greece and the US? THEN YOU'RE AN AMERICAN [PERIOD] [NO HYPHEN]. Get with the program, you snooty pinhead.
