"i am black and I completely agree. I am glad these things have come up in society

You are always prefacing your post with the same stupidity: "I am black"! LOL

Just make your point, 'cause there is NO WAY of authenticating your mindless claim of blackness in cyberspace.

THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IN CYBERSPACE IS THE COGENCY OF ONE'S ARGUMENT!

If you are really Black, you have a problem.
If you are non-Black, you have an even bigger problem.
Either way you have a problem, 'cause we can only see the 'pigmentation' of your arguments; and they are pretty colorless! LOL

"If members would form a Congressional WHITE caucus, how would the debate change?

Posted by mbcsmith at 09:14 AM : Jan 26, 2007"

Don't be obtuse, guy.
The BULK of the Congress is ALREADY a Congressional White Caucus!

It's just that when you have such and overwhelming majority, that is UNLIKELY to be challenged, you don't even need to name it Congressional White Caucus!

Why do you think that there was no assistance to New Orleans during the national disaster of Katrina? The Congressional White Caucus deemed that there should be no assistance to N.O. and Louisiana!

"To Agnim---Are you nuts? You have to be, because the statements you made have no basis in fact. In all my readings about Tancredo (I%u2019m not saying my impression is absolute): he has no affiliation with the KKK.

Are you one of those who allowed to peep behind KKK sheets? LOL

Your so-called "reading about Tancredo" is obviously not accompanied by an intelligent drawing of conclusion about what you've read!

Tancredo is a white supremacist race baiter who hopes to cash in on the racism he knows is very prevalent (even if subtle) in his American demographic.

The Congressional Black Caucus is meant to promote the civil rights that the white supremacists, like Tancredo, have always sought to trample.

The CBC is not an anti-anything caucus!
And the CBC POSES NO THREAT TO AMERICA OR TO AMERICANS!

White supremacists like Tancredo are hell bent on thwarting the aspiration of the Black people of America, and mindlessly keep America back in the process.

Yet white America will not repudiate this closet KKK member, Tancredo.
This is because quietly, too many of white America (his constituency) are hiding behind the same KKK white sheet as the likes of Tancredo!

The article clearly states that Rep. Cohen did not apply nor did the CBC deny him membership. So why is Rep. Tancredo making a moutain out of a mole hill? Presidential politics, energize your base with a wedge issue.

Race is still a "hot button" issue forty years after the Civil Rights Movement because we as a society have never honestly addressed the inhumane way we treated black people for two hundred years. Me thinks that Rep. Tancredo protest too loudly. Democrates have issues to address on this topic as well, but what did twelve years of Republican congressional leadership accomplish? Very little.
What has Rep. Tancreado done to genuinly make race relations better in America?

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo.........is 100% correct. One only has to recalled what another famous Republican said in 1963. Martin Luther King said...... "don't judge someone based on the color of their skin ......but instead on the content of their character".

Does anyone have an issue with that?
