I have not heard of anyone denied membership in the Congressional Black Caucus. Who is saying they were denied membership? You can't back up this statement with any facts.

........that such a racist institution as the "Congressional Black Caucus" exists? The members of this group of scalawags have reused admittance to whites into their little exclusive group since the inception of the caucus was founded in 1969.
This particular variety of hypocrisy reigns supreme within the halls of American power where, on the one hand universal lip service is paid advancing the idea that America should become a color-blind society, while on the other hand these private, racially-based caucuses are officially sanctioned, tolerated and have their pompous, self-inflated pronouncements concerning American society and politics taken seriously.
Think about this: how would these august congressmen react to the formation of something called the White Congressional Caucus? I guess they really didn't get enough Jim Crow back in the day, and want to still perpetuate it's legacy through the exercise of this clubby payback.
The issue at hand is the perception that a group of people who have only ethnicity in common would automatically have political interests in common.
This idea is no different whether it is advanced by the CBC or David Duke: that people have RACIAL interests that are unique to their race and that the instruments of state power should be used to secure those interests. The idea is no different morally based upon who is advancing it.
There are two problems with the idea.
The first problem is that it is FALSE. The mere fact that I am of a certain ethnicity does not mean I have certain political interests in common with other members of the same ethnicity.
But, if we neglect that, and say that I am wrong and say that, yes, ethnicity in and of itself is sufficient basis for assertion of unique political interests .... then the mere act of making it "right" for the CBC but "wrong" and "evil" for David Duke is unfair hypocrisy.
The CBC shouldn't even exist. But if it is going to exist, then a CWC(white) and a CJC(Jewish) and a CAC(Asian) should excite no adverse comment.
What people also fail to grasp is that if a Representative is there representing Blacks, whites, Asians or Jews -- he is busy representing a racial agenda which, at its core, MUST by definition be at variance with the Bill of Rights; and most certainly does not represent the best interests of his constituents.
I am not offended that politicians would act in a stupid and hypocritical fashion. After all, they are politicians and probably can't help themselves. They are the ultimate useless parasites.
But I am very offended that so many Americans are so fucking stupid as to accept this crap. Because those idiots outnumber me and by virtue of the magic of democracy get to impose their will on me.
Did you know that the size of the human brain has been consistently shrinking for the past 10,000 years? An average Cro Magnon was likely as bright as our most intelligent modern humans.
A Cro Magnon would certainly know better than to permit a lot of what is going on.
