… it just depends on who’s doing it:
There could be another clash in the offing about who should be able to join the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).
Cao, the first Vietnamese-American elected to Congress, told his hometown paper, the Times-Picayune of New Orleans, that he’s interested in joining the CBC. He also said he’s seeking a seat on the House Ways and Means Committee and the House Appropriations Committee.
And though Cao is a minority from a minority district (his district is 64 percent African-American, and 3 percent Asian), the CBC has never admitted a non-black member.
It’s true. Even a super-liberal was excluded solely on his race:
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) learned that after he was elected to succeed Rep. Harold Ford Jr. (D) in a majority-black district in 2006. Cohen talked about trying to join the caucus but backed off when leaders made it clear he wouldn’t be allowed to join.
This powerful caucus discriminated against a Jew, and they’re about to discriminate against an Asian — just because — they’re different. Right here in America. And obviously, no one’s going to condemn their actions, because, well — that’s just the way it is. Cue Bruce Hornsby:
They say hey, little boy, you can’t go where the others go,
‘Cause you don’t look like they do.
Said, hey, old man how can you stand to think that way,
Did you really think about it before you made the rules?
He said, Son,That’s just the way it is.
Some things will never change.

RonL,
Oh, they’re on it. Expect stern denunciations of the Congressional Black Caucus ANY MINUTE NOW for their hypocrisy and blatant discrimination …
As I said, ANY MINUTE NOW …

Wait until Ted Kennedy hears about this! He’s spent a lifetime rooting out Discrimination and promoting equality in the name of “Real Irish Thinking”. {sic}.

The Japanese and the Chinese don’t allow any other race to gain a toehold in their respective countries, in the name of preserving their blood and soil.
If history has taught us anything, it is that men will always adhere to their own tribe. The sectarian strife in Iraq is a case in point. another example has been the historic enmity between Pakistan and India.
The foolish Britons and French now see their national racial identities being absorbed by alien Moslems. They are adopting the human zoo paradigm of the central bankers, which will lead to their European racial eclipse.
When the world traveler goes to Sweden, Holland, or Spain, one sees the same alien influence wreaking havoc, in the form of terrorist activities perpetrated against the native populace.
In the case of the United States, the casual observer can see that the American people are no longer prejudiced against the black race–as evidenced by the election of an African American to high office– and even regard the African influence as having been crucial to the founding of our republic.
The only discrimination against Obama is that he apparently is NOT a United States citizen, and therefore his elevation to POTUS constitutes a Constitutional crisis.
The CBC is basically saying: “Mi raza primero.”
It’s okay to love your own kind, folks. For the more spiritually advanced, it is humankind.
