I'm a little confused by your use of pronouns here:

Yeah, but it is the Republican leadership in the House that has forced ALL, that's EVERYONE, of the BLACK members, ALL BLACK CONGRESSMEN, into the fully segregated, step-n-fetchit Congressional Black Caucus.

I mean, it is very smart of the Republicans to do so, because it segregates them (the Republicans, or the CBC?) apart from everyone else in the party and makes it seem like they (the Republicans, or the CBC?) are doing meaningful things. They (the Republicans, or the CBC?) are not, they (the Republicans, or the CBC?) are doing nothing but race baiting, blaming whitey, and picking up whatever scraps they (the Republicans, or the CBC?)can.

So, you can't blame all this racism on the democrats. It is the Republicans who are so cruelly keeping down and segregating all the black members of Congress!


Even if one makes the most nefarious possible interpretation of your statement, how exactly, does putting congressmen into a caucus do anything to "cruelly keep down all the black members of Congress"? Do they not still have the same votes as the rest of Congress? Are they barred from appointments on committees? Please explain. Also, please explain how this is different from any other type of caucus (i.e. the House Democratic Caucus)

IMHO, De Lay and a few others should apply for membership into the Black Caucus. Either they are accepted (in the spirit of diversity) and put an end to the idiocy of the caucus statements put forth by Sheila Jackson Lee and Corrine Brown and other members of the Democrat Socialist Party, or they are rejected and can scream "racism" at the top of their lungs, maybe getting Jesse Jackson and Marion Frances "Mugabe" Berry to support their cause. How could the media resist reporting on a story like this?

When the House of Representatives, the people house, has a color barrier...?

Or better yet, they can sue, up to the supreme court and let Sandra Day O'Conner decide...
