An interview was conducted with Obama's chief spokeman, Robert Gibbs, by WND correspondent Les Kinsolving about the race requirement for joining the exclusive Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and the remarks made by Rep. William Lacy Clay (D-MO).
To date, three Congressman, Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA), Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn) and Rep. Anh ("Joseph") Cao (R-LA) have been denied membership into this exclusively racist club because they were - "judged solely on the color of their skin and not the content of their character". -For some odd reason - I swear the current members CBC have heard these words before.
From WND --
Kinsolving continued, "Since the members of Congress who have applied to join the Congressional Black Caucus have been turned down because, as the black caucus' William Lacey Clay put it, 'they are white and the caucus is black...'
Kinsolving reported Clay said, "Mr. Cohen asked for admission, and he got his answer. He's white and the caucus is black. It's time to move on. We have racial policies to pursue and we are pursuing them, as Mr. Cohen has learned. It's an unwritten rule. It's understood."
...Clay later issued an official statement from his office: "Quite simply, Rep. Cohen will have to accept what the rest of the country will have to accept – there has been an unofficial congressional white caucus for over 200 years, and now it's our turn to say who can join the 'the club.' He does not, and cannot, meet the membership criteria, unless he can change his skin color. Primarily, we are concerned with the needs and concerns of the black population, and we will not allow white America to infringe on
those objectives." More...
On Inauguration Day we heard how "white people need to start doing right," then we hear Obama's administration does not want the stimulus money going to white construction workers or professionals because that would not be fair.
What do you think the reaction would have been if Bush said, "Blacks need to start doing the right thing and stop having illegitimate children, selling drugs & being criminals"?
We can clearly see the - "our day has come" mentality has taken over the White House. Will Barack, our racially confused President, allow this to become a "we're getting ours" presidency and show us 'victimhood at its' finest' or will he keep his campaign promises and transcend race?
The latter does not seem likely.
In the game of "pick your battles" you routinely fail
ReplyDeleteThe intent of the post was not to pick a battle but more of making a statement of fact. The Congressional Black Caucus is racist - their own member admits it.
ReplyDeleteAs for picking what you deem is my penchant for picking losing battles -- doing what is right is more important too me than winning a battle.
If you would like to debate the above post and my
statements - I would be more than happy to oblige you.
