In Time Magazine's October 3, 2005 there was an article written by Joe Klein about some things that Congressman Charles Rangel (New York). Congressman Rangel compared George Bush to Bull Conner. Bull Conner was the Police Chief of Burmingham, Alabama when the Civil Rights peacemarchers rode through. He attacked them with pit bulls and water hoses. what did Bush ever do to him??
The article went on to quote Congressman Rangel as saying that what happened in New Orleans and with african americans in general was because of white racism and republican neglect.
The article continues, with Mr. Klein, that some of the Civil Rights generation are "browbeating whites." I'm not quite sure what he means by that. But statistics show that there are 2 times as many poor whites as there are poor blacks. why does no one ever mention this??
But it was suggested that if the Congressional Black Caucus was really interested in ending poverty then they should change their name to the Congressional Anti-poverty caucus and work with congressman, both hispanic and white, who have large numbers of poor in their districts.
