"WE'RE NOT RACIST, WE JUST WANT TO BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY"

I have always had a major problem with the Congressional Black Caucus. My problem is that only blacks can join. Non-blacks can be Associates or Friends or something stupid like that, but they can’t be full fledged members. If they were a country club or American Legion, that would never fly, but as a member of the United States Government, well hey, racism is cool.

Because I am dealing with Congress and blacks, I mean African-Americans, I know there is nothing I can do about it. Well, it seems William Tancredo (R-LA) didn’t get that memo, because he has introduced a rule to abolish all race-based congressional caucuses. His theory is the same as mine,:

“A race is something over which we have no control. Everything we are told is we should ignore it, that we should try to eliminate that as a distinction in our society,”

As you can imagine, this doesn’t go over well with the left. Check this out:

“First of all, it’s hard to believe that a member of the United States House of Representatives can be that insensitive to diversity by even entertaining the notion of such a resolution, but given the source of the filing, I am not surprised,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), a Black Caucus member.

Insensitive to diversity? Just how diverse is the Congressional Black Caucus, Bernie? Are all your white members keeping everything in balance? What white members? EXACTLY, YOU RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ll be blunt. As long as the African-American community allows racists like this speak for them, they will ALWAYS be treated differently. You can’t demand racist prerogatives like this and not be treated with racism.
