Black Caucus: Whites Not Allowed

[Cold Dirt]

This is hilarious, liberals here love to think that the democratic party isnt full of racists...yet the biggest black liberal caucus proves them wrong....again........

What if this was a group of rich white conservative politicians that wouldn't allow a black conservative member to join?.....they would be labeled racist by the same people that think its OK for a rich black liberal democrats to show bigotry to a white liberal.........

Come on those who love to use the race card here......tell us how these racist liberals and part of the democratic party, justified this blatant racist denial of a white liberal into their ranks because of his skin color...................


The Politico

As a white liberal running in a majority African American district, Tennessee Democrat Stephen I. Cohen made a novel pledge on the campaign trail last year: If elected, he would seek to become the first white member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Now that he's a freshman in Congress, Cohen has changed his plans. He said he has dropped his bid after several current and former caucus members made it clear to him that whites need not apply.

"I think they're real happy I'm not going to join," said Cohen, who succeeded Rep. Harold Ford, D-Tenn., in the Memphis district. "It's their caucus and they do things their way. You don't force your way in. You need to be invited."

Cohen said he became convinced that joining the caucus would be "a social faux pas" after seeing news reports that former Rep. William Lacy Clay Sr., D-Mo., a co-founder of the caucus, had circulated a memo telling members it was "critical" that the group remain "exclusively African-American."

I do not believe that any person is better than anyone else by virtue of their Race, Color, Background or Religion and I suspect that those who have posted before me on this thread think likewise.
Should they have a different belief than what I am saying is fairly pointless to them.
The only reason a club, however exclusive is set up, is to propose views that are in agreement with all club members, thus one has / had those who espouse racism such as the KKK or the Neo-Nazis.
On the other side we have this so called Black Caucus.
All these clubs have the same ideal in common, namely promotion of their own beliefs, those beliefs to be exposed to as many of their adherents as possible, as well as influencing those who actions may be pursuaded to enhance their beliefs to their advantage.
In setting up a Black Caucus these people are guilty of the practise of Racism as much if not more than those of the KKK or Neo-Nazi's, in fact there is little to distinguish between either side.
Prejudice and Racism is practised as much by the Black Caucus as it is by the KKK or Neo-Nazi and it is to most people equally distasteful.
The fact that these Black Politicians can be freely elected largely by virtue of
White Politicians recognising that all people ARE created equal and enforcing that Constitutional Law.
It is not surprising that this Caucus has been set up, as it was no no surprise to see the KK or Neo-Nzi clubs, each particular club wishing to force it's particular viewpoint onto society.
Unless and until people learn that it is their best interests to cooperate with each other we shall continue to have dissent within our society.
Having divergent views is natural and will continue, but divergent views because of Race, Religion, Background or Color will in the end be the cause of our downfall.

Good post other than the part about people that has posted before you......

I am far from being a racist, a my 7 month old son godfather is a black man that saved my ***...twice.....in Iraq.

I dont however see racism alive and well in this country on both sides and against many different minorities...........

But for some liberals here to claim...champ and jallman....that there is no racism in the democrat party is just pure bunk and nothing but a pack of lies told by liars

It's a relatively minor point, and largely a matter of semantics, but, strictly speaking, the Congressional Black Caucus is not racist.

Racism is a belief that one race is inherently superior, genetically, to another, ie that the "other" race is not...quite...fully human.

Bigotry, on the other hand, is simply a dislike for, and a desire to not associate with, another race.

The congressional black caucus is bigoted, not racist.

Not allowing someone to join because they are white is indeed racist....they are basing their decision based on race.....

bump for champ......come on buddy....I know you have seen this thread....why you hiding from it like a little sissy?????

please lie to us some more and tell us that this is not racism in the democrat party...................


you lied and said you liberals got rid of all the lefty wacko's yet the racist blacks within your party rears its ugly head once agin.....

The Politico

Please don't act like the Republican Party is full of EOE humane individuals seeking American and human solidarity. Americans have this nasty reality of solely viewing within black and white. Worst if your skin tone isn't "primary".

Liberals see this disorder and use it for their means within social and political avenues in minority but not collective because that would be stereotyping.

Conservatives will not confront this disorder, rather mock it and avoid until ones true feelings come forth within societal banter i.e. George Allen of recent. Seems, given Conservatives wish to be separate and not individual thinkers, that is collective.

Both are serious disorders my country doesn't need any longer but for you Sir, not to see this disorder within Republican avenues, is like notioning Cancer doesn't kill nor is it a primary medical concern.

This is one of the more "balanced" political forums for all to share and emphasize towards. That realization isn't shared else where including chat forums, where a person's God given skin tone and Republican pride if not of "primary", may be attack at a higher percentage without any form of negative confrontation if any deserves racial inferior enmity.

I will combat next to you Sir on how you feel but I cannot blind myself into believing the Republican Party in majority, doesn't have the same disorder you are foolishly deeming a Liberal problem.

If you conceive colors as a form of human identification, you are continuing the problem in America and not finding a valid end solution. Yes, I have mentioned this notion toward others regardless of their outside human appearance. I use "Sir", and "Ma'am", and other humane respects. I typically ask someone their names or simply, research using "google.com". Try it rather then continuing the disorder of color or racial identification.

Ok, I was just trying to get some of the liberals here to explain why this is happening when they claim there is no racism in the democrat party.

 

[Kasmos]

I am a very liberal individual, and although I am not Democrat nor Republican, I think that there are racists in both parties. Anyone who says one party is more racist then the next is an absolute moron.

Now that doesn't mean that one "administration" isn't more racist than another "administration", because quite frankly my opinions on Bush and his administration would probably urk a lot of you.

 

[Captain America]

What they should do is induct a token white boy, much like the traditional "all-white-he-man-woman-hater's-club's" do. They need a white Tiger Woods.

To think there are not still, in this day and age, a plethra of exclusive organizations out there that bars whites, blacks, jewish, gentiles, <fill in the group here> is naive.

In our age of political correctness, we are more discreet and civil about it perhaps, but the underlying principles are still there in stone. Of course it's not right. But if you wanna dog out the blacks for doing it, one should make sure their own house is in order first before they start throwing stones. (Something about a plank and a speck come to mind as well but I digress.)

Maybe they should let Eminem join their caucus. He's as black as Tiger is white.

That way, everyone can pretend that we are all just one big happy family and we can all go home and plop on the couch, drink beer and flip through the channels, knowing the world is at harmony and peace.

I dissagree. Could whites do the same thing? so it seems there are different sets of rules for different people.

Ok, I was just trying to get some of the liberals here to explain why this is happening when they claim there is no racism in the democrat party.

I'll adress your wierd notions of the B.C., they are not a civil rights organisation. Your assumption that they are "2 faced democrats" organisation is as flawed as every other post you've ever written on this forum. They're not civil rights leaders, they werent there with Martin Luther King Jr or Malcom X. They were simply formed to protect the interests of African Americans in the U.S. .They weren't formed to promote equality among "the races". They were formed to advance the interests and voice the issues concerning African Americans and African Americans alone. Not Asian-Americans, not Italian-Americans and not even Hispanic-Americans.

Your assumption that they are a democrat only organisation is troubling too. There have been 3 Republicans elected to congress since the caucus was started. All 3 were asked to join and all 3 refused. Not because they didn't agree with the goals the caucus established for itself but because of simple partisanship. My opinion is they probably chose to be republicanish and not co-operate with democrats for the good of African Americans.

Now I'll adress the current issue at hand. I dont agree with the actions of the Caucus simply because they are doing a disservice to African-Americans. The goal of the caucus is to advance the views of their people; considering the fact that 60% of Stephen Cohen's Constituents are African Americans, their refusal to accept him as one of their own shows that their actions aren't really helping African Americans.

I hope this was helpful to you C.D.

Super post, Hatuey.

Super post, Hatuey.

I do try but it's hard when 90% of everything posted before I is partisanship. Hows it hanging?

Man, I'm about as anti-NAACP nonesense as you'll see in anyone, but this argument is ridiculous. The Black Caucus is an interest group, and it, like any other interest group, discriminates against those who do not share those interests. Although on specific points there may be white people who agree, the fact of the matter is that, when dealing with reality, there are differences between growing up white and growing up black, cetaris paribus, and from that there are black interests. In the same way I can't join the teachers union, white people can't join the black causus. This isn't racism, it just seems like racism, as they tend to walk a very fine line, and they tend to end up on the side of racism (but not in this particular case).

Bingo. :applaud

But what I question is this. Why can't we start an organization and call it the "White Caucus" without being labeled racist? Why doesn't my local community college have a "White Student's Union?" They have a Black Student's Union.

I think just about every group has their own exclusive organizations that cater to their particular interests and is exclusive to their interests and people only. That's just reality. I can't join a soriety. Women can't join a fraternity. For every organization inclusive to blacks only, you will find a hundred white organizations that are inclusive to whites only but for some reason, it is not acceptable for the whites to just come out and say it.

Imagine the reaction. You are walking down the hall and the sign on the door reads, "White Student's Union." Can you even IMAGINE the stink that would cause? Yet, at my local community college, there it is as big as Texas, right there on the door..."Black Student's Union." And for some reason, that is ok.

 

[Stinger]

They were simply formed to protect the interests of African Americans in the U.S.

What issues are unique and specific blacks?

They were formed to advance the interests and voice the issues concerning African Americans and African Americans alone.

And those are specifically what?
