That's interesting. He wasn't a Congressman until 2007. :lol:
A white Congressman who tried to join, Stephen Cohen from Tennessee, in 2006.
To say that the marginalized shouldn't organize is simply blaming the victim.
"Maybe she shouldn't have been wearing those yoga pants."
Yep, and the CBC is racist.

Actually, what I said was that in order to make this a post racial nation (where color is irrelevant), we not to stop separating by color. What would be nice is if our governmental leaders knew that as well. They intentionally separated themselves by color. That sends a message that it's okay to separate by color.
I am NOT wasting my time with a semantic fight with a troll. Racism encompasses more then just "We are better than".Who do they feel they are superior to?

When color is irrelevant, so will the CBC.
Black Caucus: Whites Not Allowed
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."
Other members, including the new chairwoman, Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, D-Mich., and Clay's son, Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-Mo., agreed.
"Mr. Cohen asked for admission, and he got his answer. ... It's time to move on," the younger Clay said. "It's an unwritten rule. It's understood. It's clear."

So you think that the lawmakers should continue to make color relevant. Got it.
They don't have that kind of power. Color is relevant whether or not the CBC exists. White men joining makes as much sense as men explaining to women what child birth is like.
Who have they turned away?
I am a realist. If you realize what I'm saying, you see I'm agreeing with ya'll.
"Black Guys Can't Play Hockey" actually sounds like it would be a box office hit. cast some black comedians, put them on skates, and let them do their thing. America would eat that **** up.
So what? Ted Cruz looks and acts white and he is Canadian, so cant get more white than that.. no offence Canadians! Also the chance of him winning in a general election is slim to non considering the basic mistakes he is already doing. Got to love him trying to repeal laws that are not even laws... /clap.
Marco Rubio.. yes, the Cuban American who managed to piss of the Cuban American community by claiming he was a refugee... brilliant choice!
Ben Carson.. who? Another token black dude in the GOP, just like Michael Steele up to and after the Obama win?
Keep being in denial about the GOP white man problem....
My thought, is that there really very few people impacted by this, its just being used as a wedge issue.
Yes, my white husband is so much more powerful than the black Congressmen and Senators, Thor. Thanks for the reminder.
My obstetrician was a male. He was perfectly qualified to explain child birth to me.
But you're right, the Congressional reps have no power to lead by example. None at all.
I don't know if you're serious or making troll posts, but either way, have a good Thursday.
Nobody has to be turned away from anything for it to be racism either.
Are you just as upset about the sexist Women's Caucus?
Another lefty who is the true arbiter of authentic ethnicity.
Cruz and Rubio aren't authentic because they "act white", at best they are merely "white hispanics", like zimmerman.
And Carson isn't really black because hes a conservative.
I can't tell if you are serious either. Did you really just use your husband in a comparison to a Congressman. Anecdotal evidence is bunk.
I'm sure your gynecologist has experienced the pain of childbirth. I read a book about torture so now I know exactly the pain that John McCain went through. :roll:
Tell me how sexist this is:
The Women's Caucus - Women's Policy, Inc.
No all 3 are morons and their actions show so. So are you saying that their idiotic actions are representative of the Hispanic community? That lying is a Hispanic trait?
Oh no he is black, and that his problem and the fact that you are in denial over this, exposes yet again the problem. The core of the GOP wont vote for a black man, they have made this very clear time and time again. How many votes did Herman Cain get? He was by far the superior business candidate after all... wonder what held him back.
I have no idea how sexist it is. You'd have to ask them. But I didn't realize we were trying to make it so that nobody sees male and female when they look at humans. I do believe there's been an ongoing effort to make it so that people look at each other and don't see color. Or are the politicians just funnin' with us when they say that?
My husband is a white man. According to you, he has power that they don't have.
So nobody is allowed to weigh in on something unless they themselves have experienced it? Please go to the abortion forum and tell that to the men posting in there. Actually, by your logic, anyone who posts here on anything having to do with a President, Vice President, Senator, Congressman, Governor, etc. shouldn't be doing it, unless the poster has actually done the job.
Why should men care about effectively reducing abortion rates?
Sounds like your typical GOP propaganda to me. All those poors are trying to take whats yours. They're worse than you, lazy, stupid, easily manipulated! And they're after you! They want to destroy your way of life! Attack the institution of marriage! War on Christmas! War on Christianity! They're being intolerant of your intolerance! Vote GOP, we'll stop them.
Sound about right?
