Congressional Black Caucus

[Gunny]

WHY do we have this? It it not racist by its very name and nature? If it's not because "they're black" well ....

We need a Congressional Christian Caucus. You know, just to "represent". After all, they're "just Christians".

How about a Congressional Pro Life Caucus? After all, we're only against murdering the innocent. Just to "represent".

Does this Black Caucus that doesn't sound Constitutional actually DO anything besides be black, disrespect the President and give a springboard for Rangel's antics? What do they actually do? Look out for the best interest of blacks?

First, that's exclusionary BY RACE; and,

Second, it needs to be investigated after last night's show at the SOTU because obviously the best interest of blacks is NOT what they are about and partisan politics IS.

[High_Plains_Drifter]

I haven't met a person yet that can explain why this double standard for blacks obviously doing things that if whites did would be considered RACIST and leftists heads would be exploding.

But I think you better just check your white privileged, Gunny... you're really pushing it... that and your toxic male masculinity... you're going to be triggering liberals like crazy, ya know. You're not allowed to question because you're a white male.

[aboutime]

Things from liberals, democrats, socialists, snowflakes, and just stupid Haters in this nation have gotten really, really bad, and stupid. But I wonder WHEN...they are going to OUTLAW White Cars, White Lines on highways, milk, and any reference to White all together.

Shucks. How long before the Congressional Black Fiasco tries to sue the WEATHER CHANNEL for telling ALL OF AMERICA...when it's gonna SNOW????:laugh:

Seriously though ... The Congressional Black Caucus by title is "Congressional" and "Black". Which by definition means an official, Congressional entity exists within the US government that is exclusive to "blacks". Congress, by LAW and definition represents ALL people, regardless of race, gender and all the rest of whatever crap they added nowadays.

So, help me with the math here ... the way I see it is the existence of this exclusive group within the Federal government is unConstitutional BY its existence within the US Federal government.

[Elessar]

I had never given it much thought, but can now see your angle and have to agree.

Selective exclusion with an official sounding name attached to it.

And Yes, The Congress is supposed to support ALL races, religions, and genders.

The blacks will milk this until white people finally tell them, FUCK THIS, WE'RE DONE PLAYING THIS GAME, and we don't give a rats ass if you call us RACIST because you've WORN THAT OUT, and shown us that YOU are the REAL racists. EVERYONE is going to be on the SAME PAGE HERE, unless BLACKS want to come right out and say, well we can't compete on a level playing field here, we're not as smart as everyone else and we're lazy. But now if people want to say THAT'S NOT TRUE, then WHY ON EARTH do the BLACKS need all these things that are obviously intended to give them an ADVANTAGE, like AFFIRMATIVE ACTION? If they're just as smart as everyone else and work just as hard at trying to achieve, then why do they need all these special things JUST for BLACKS? See, that's the dirty little secret. Google LOVES to bury it about THEN PAGES BACK, but you can search out which are most the intelligent races and blacks are very near the BOTTOM.

But as it is, the blacks have just milked this RACIST bull shit to the point of an absolutely INSULTING double standard. In fact, we should all just call them niggers, because they call each other nigger. Just turn on Spotify to any station or genre that plays RAP and you'll hear NIGGER within the first 30 seconds, time and time again, nigger, nigger, nigger. Now if blacks HATE being called nigger so bad, then WHY are they SINGING about calling each other nigger? Makes ZERO sense... ZERO. So if you ask me, they must LIKE to call each other and be called nigger.

They are raised from birth believing they are owed something. The lack of logic and reasoning behind that belief is what makes zero sense.

Hard to get people to give up on the belief they can get something for nothing. Look how many people still hunt treasures. You tell them it isn't there and they look at you like you just walked off Mars. Blacks believe because their ancestors were possessions they are now owed something. I got money says "something" would NEVER be enough if it was offered.

I say get a freakin' job and make yourself useful;

Want to hear one even better than that, just this year a white Republican who represents a district with quite a large black population tried to join, and they told him no.

Let them have their nigger caucus . And that's exactly what it is, they don't represent black people , nor do they reflect black people. They reflect and resemble the nigger portion of the black population.

I would bet substantial money that the average IQ of CBC members is at least 20 points below the average IQ of the rest of Congress. AT LEAST 20 points.

[Gunny]

How many people of color are in the house freedom caucus?Does it meet the standards of the Constitution? It must be something good or you wouldn't have brought it up, and I probably would have heard of it. Meaning I haven't because the media likes to downplay or omit anything the right thinks is good.

I would be happy to debate you about whether blacks themselves and American society as a whole was better off when blacks were slaves than they are now.

You would, of course, lose that debate.

Well they keep voting for democrats.

[Gunny]

How many people of color are in the house freedom caucus?I misread your post. My question for you is how many "people of color" have tried to join and been denied? My guess would be zero, or they'd had heard about it on the farthest corner of the Earth. Blacks are denied NOTHING in this country out of fear on the part of whites of being called a racist.

I wish they'd take up calling Mexicans racists, because they are and don't care what anyone thinks about it.

Is there a report that non blacks have tried to join the black caucus and were denied?

For petey....Of course Black (UNEDUCATED) Americans always vote for Democrats because Democrats DO NOT WANT INTELLIGENT, KNOWLEDGEABLE Black Americans to learn how Democrats have been using them, abusing them, and lying to them since LBJ Promised them the GREAT SOCIETY...that the Democrats keep lying to Blacks about...telling them VOTE FOR US and WE WILL GET YOUR GREAT SOCIETY. They've been doing that for 50 years, and Look how OBAMA helped them????

[High_Plains_Drifter]

Is there a report that the freedom caucus has stated that their "freedom" caucus is open for any race to join?
Is there a report that says anyone has ever been denied membership of the freedom caucus because of race?

See how EASY it is to play your childish little games?

[aboutime]

How bout you trying to join the NAACP, or the Congressional Black Caucus, and let us know how that worked for you???

[STTAB]

Is there a report that non blacks have tried to join the black caucus and were denied?

In fact it's well known that white members have been denied entrance to the CBC , you ignorant fuck

https://www.politico.com/story/2007/01/black-caucus-whites-not-allowed-002389

To recap:

In America if you own a golf course and a black man wants to play on it, you can't deny him simply because he's black, but a Congressional Black Caucus can deny entry to non blacks.

A perfect example of why liberals should be chemically sterilized so that they can't further pollute the gene pool.

[STTAB]

Hey Petey , where are you to admit that yes, the CBC discriminates based on race?

[Black Diamond]

[Gunny]

Is there a report that non blacks have tried to join the black caucus and were denied?I believe that was answered in post #8. Since the source posts here, you can take it up with him.

I don't care to. I find the question ludicrous and arbitrary as it means nothing, nor does the answer. I think they call that a red herring, matter of fact.

Has anyone yet figured out exactly what it is they supposedly do? Besides be black and let everyone know they are?

Obviously they apply their bias and racism looking for unfair advantages for blacks, something for nothing... reparations.

But that's OK... because... they're BLACK.

Common, American Black people are being held captive as SLAVES....by the Black Caucus members in Congress to perpetuate the BLACK CAUCUS MEMBERS Theft of Black American Money through EXTORTION...that NEVER PAYS OFF.

The woman needs help. She should be relieved for cause. "Cause" she is a freakin' fruitloop. If I was the DNC I'd BEG her to quit trying to "help". Like, STFU already.

The sad truth though is, everybody knows she's a joke. They'll just replace her with another Maxine Waters or Elizabeth Warren.

[Gunny]

Looks like Liz is gonna tell us who the Black Caucus represents. :) This ought to be good :laugh:

Never mind. She's got a black woman on who is whining about Trump not giving Obama credit for "all he accomplished" in 8 years. :rolleyes: She hasn't answered a question yet.

Since its establishment in 1971, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) has been committed to using the full Constitutional power, statutory authority, and financial resources of the federal government to ensure that African Americans and other marginalized communities in the United States have the opportunity to achieve the American Dream. As part of this commitment, the CBC has fought for the past 46 years to empower these citizens and address their legislative concerns by pursuing a policy agenda that includes but is not limited to the following:


reforming the criminal justice system and eliminating barriers to reentry;
combatting voter suppression;
expanding access to world-class education from pre-k through post-secondary level;
expanding access to quality, affordable health care and eliminating racial health disparities;
expanding access to 21st century technologies, including broadband;
strengthening protections for workers and expanding access to full, fairly-compensated employment;
expanding access to capital, contracts, and counseling for minority-owned businesses; and
promoting U.S. foreign policy initiatives in Africa and other countries that are consistent with the fundamental right of human dignity.

For the 115th Congress, the CBC has a historic 49 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, representing 78 million Americans, 24 percent of the total U.S. population, and 17 million African-Americans, 41 percent of the total U.S. African-American population. In addition, the CBC represents almost a fourth of the House Democratic Caucus.

In other words, the CBC is a mob within a mob. What is the difference between its expressed goals, and the goals expressed by Joe Bob Smith, white Congressman?
I laugh/scoff/sneer or what ever you want to call it at:




promoting U.S. foreign policy initiatives in Africa and other countries that are consistent with the fundamental right of human dignity.




Odd. I must have not seen THAT part of Africa.:rolleyes: Haven't heard about it on the news other than we throw money at them while militant bands and/or Islamic extremists wipe out whole villages.

"Using full Constitutional power" to promote exclusively one group over another. One of those (the Constitution) is specifically exclusive to the other by law.

Congressional Black Caucus for Blacks Only?
By Brooks Jackson

Posted on January 31, 2008

Q: Is the Congressional Black Caucus racially exclusive?

A: Yes. It has never had a white member in its 36-year history. However, its stated mission is to work for "America’s neglected citizens," whatever their color.

FULL QUESTION

What exactly is the Congressional Black Caucus? Is it a racially-exclusive group, and, if so, how can such a group exist within Congress?

FULL ANSWER

The CBC has always been an all-black organization. It was founded in 1971 with 13 members. It is currently made up of 42 House members and one senator, Barack Obama of Illinois. All are African American, and all are Democrats.

But while the group’s membership is racially exclusive, its stated goals are not. The group’s stated mission is to "empower America’s neglected citizens – including but not limited to Americans of color" and "to ensure, insofar as possible, that everyone in the United States has an opportunity to live out the American Dream."

MISSION

Since 1971, the Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (at times referred to herein as the “CBC” or “Caucus”) have joined together to strengthen their efforts to empower America’s neglected citizens – including but not limited to Americans of color – by more effectively addressing our legislative concerns. The Congressional Black Caucus is committed to utilizing the full Constitutional power, statutory authority, and financial resources of the Government of the United States of America to ensure, insofar as possible, that everyone in the United States has an opportunity to live out the American Dream.

The legislative agenda of universal empowerment that the Members of the Caucus shall collectively pursue shall include, but are not limited to: the creation of universal access to a world-class education from birth through post secondary level; the creation of universal access to quality, affordable health care and the elimination of racially based health disparities; the creation of universal access to modern technology, capital, and full, fairly compensated employment; the creation and or expansion of US foreign policy initiatives that will contribute to the survival, health, education, and general welfare of all peoples of the world in a manner consistent with universal human dignity, tolerance, and respect, and such other legislative action as a majority of the entire CBC membership from time to time may support.

Source: CBC "Press Kit"

The organization’s no-whites policy was tested most recently last year by a newly elected House member, Stephen I. Cohen of Tennessee, a white man who represents a 60 percent black district previously held by Harold Ford Jr. During Cohen’s 2006 campaign he was quoted as saying that if elected he would try to become "the first white member" of the Congressional Black Caucus. But shortly after being sworn in the following January, Cohen told another reporter that he dropped his bid after hearing from several current and former caucus members that whites need not apply.

"I think they’re real happy I’m not going to join," said Cohen, according to Josephine Hearn, who covers the House for Politico.com. "It’s their caucus and they do things their way. You don’t force your way in. You need to be invited."

Hearn quoted caucus member William Lacy Clay of Missouri, son of one of the CBC’s founders, as confirming that. "Mr. Cohen asked for admission, and he got his answer. … It’s time to move on," she quoted Clay as saying. "It’s an unwritten rule. It’s understood. It’s clear."

As for how such an exclusive organization can exist within the House, there are many caucuses set up to represent specific groups or causes. They are properly called Congressional Member Organizations, and the list includes dozens with very specific names.

The House’s rules governing such organizations allow House members to form them (and to include Senators) and to allocate some of their normal staff people and office funds to support them. But the groups may have no office space of their own, and they can’t employ anybody directly, accept donations from outsiders, use the Franking privilege to send mail postage-free or have "separate corporate or legal identity."
