Will the liberals join me in calling for the end of the Black Caucus and the the Black Mayors Conference?

I'd be okay with that.  We have equal rights already, I've never expected anything more than a reasonably even playing field. We didn't always have one, but as a group we seemed to do ok anyhow. Now that we do have an even playing field, except of course for the fact that we have to score higher than EVERYBODY else, including white people, to get into schools, jobs, etc, but  aside for that, I don't see much that we have to bitch about. So feel free to start with us.

soft in the head you be....

........ No really, it's doing wonders for your political party that you keep alienating minorities around you...lo

Racial division and exclusion is horrible when Republicans or whites do it, but perfectly fine when libs and blacks do so.  

...libs like fiddles in the best tradition of Jack's idol and fellow Mensa member followme.

You couldn't even muster the courage to oppose a government group that discriminates against a person solely based on the color of their skin, but you were all too eager to point to some person's Facebook rant. Too funny.

...You have the same tell - when you lose an argument and are made to look foolish, you declare victory: "Yeah...I think we're done here. "

If I "lost" that argument, that would mean you are in favor of racial discrimination. LOL

So Jack I know you were their listening with your group of scum!
I see the GOP still kept him as leader.
The GOP does not mind the KKK because of their actions

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"

"'The lady doth protest too much, methinks' is a quotation from the 1602 play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. It has been used as a figure of speech, in various phrasings, to indicate that a person's overly frequent or vehement attempts to convince others of something have ironically helped to convince others that the opposite is true, by making the person look insincere and defensive."

Because moderate Matt would have taken a clear stand against racial discrimination.

...when you stated that "we are in the process of getting rid of all vestiges of racis (sic) and discrimination."

Have you not been paying attention to the news in the last 10 days? The last 10 years? The last 50 years?

That's one of the reasons I quit talking to Bird Brain. There was just no ending a thread with him. Like Matt he would argue the smallest details, and argue them for days, only to claim victory once the other person grew so tired of the subject they quit answering.  

...the need for the existence of the two black groups mentioned.  So why are you now changing your tune and talking about CRITICIZING these groups rather that ELIMINATING these groups?  You see, that's why you wanted to quit when you said "I think we're done here."  ROFLMAO!!  Now that you've demonstrated the level of your intelligence, we really are done here!

...claim  that "we are in the process of getting rid of all vestiges of racis (sic) and discrimination."

Funny, I don't! I guess you're just not that important to me!

And, despite GaG's claims, I don't keep score, and I can't ever recall claiming I won any argument. I've stated, several times, that that is not my intent, but to have a dialog. Now, if someone says something I feel is unsubstantiated by them, I will hold their feet to the fire for them to back up their claims. Gag's whole thing about parsing words is just his way of saying ' being held accountable to what one says.' I notice he never says anything about Ed, who strains at gnats while swallowing camels.  

Now, Gag would say you are parsing words!  

Yes, I actually think that many of these organizations have outlived their usefulness, and now actually create more rifts than they solve.

In your defense you are better about this than Laffy and a thousand times smarter than fatgirl, but there is no denying that you will argue minutia for days, long after the horse is not only dead, but his name forgotten.

...in this thread to "prove" Bill O'Reilly still had a radio program on the air.  He became so desperate that he had to hook up with quad, for God's sake.

You still can't or won't recognize what "on the radio" means. Hear goes again. You turn on the radio to the correct station at the correct time and Bill O's voice comes out of the speaker. Voila.  

I used to be the only person that refused to "give in" to matt's never ending obfuscation via his changing the subject.  

but I am not Jewish, so it's not really like I should get a vote.

with you of course.

Sounds like an interesting idea, but you'd be very displeased with the results.

I have been claiming to be a lesbian trapped in a man's body for years now.  

What people often forget is that we are not that far removed from jim crows times and thus the names of these groups reflect that, but also it is telling that the founders of these groups never thought that society would get to this point that we are at in 2015. There are number of different caucuses in congress and they are just a means to organize to specific interests. The Black Caucus should rename themselves in honor of the first black congressman and turn to a more future looking objective that is race neutral, but at the same time continue push laws that improve the situation of black folks by helping out everyone.
