No, no, I think the race element is accurate. Just like when Democrats held a vote to hold a white president’s white officials in contempt, the Congressional White Caucus–excuse me, I mean the Republicans–walked out in an effort to protect their fellow white men. It’s so obvious. ---

Maybe its sarcasm, maybe they are just playing “lets pretend we are knuckle-walking, brain dead troglodytes and see if we can fool anyone!” I’m going with that. Not going there myself, I can make up my own jokes. ---

The members of the Congressional Black Caucus ARE RACISTS, they are also beggars, tax-cheats, and treasury thieves. :eek: If they hadn’t been elected they would be fleecsing the flock of some made-up African-Baptist-Extraterrestrial Holiness Tabernacle and Bingo Parlor. You will not find bigger hyppocrites in politics as the CBC. If I were elected to Congress and started the Congressional Caucasian Caucus, I would be accussed by EVERYONE in politics and mediawhoredom of being a Nazi-Racist-Baby-Killer-SOB :smack:(which I am Not). As far as I know, the black members of Congress that belong to the GOP stay away from the CBC. ---
