I know they do. So you keep chipping away at the so-called majority and start having all kinds of sub groups of cuscus - exactly how many would be left in a "White male conservative caucus?
1) how do you figure that
2) so if they were, then it was the white racist caucus that pass all the anti-racist laws.Click to expand...
Might not see Zaac for a while; gonna have to do some real figuring and liberalizing to answer this one.
Course he could go back to LBJ's quote re: the civil rights act, but he wouldn't like it. (At least I THINK it was LBJ.Click to expand... -

Your buddy rev branded the BCC racist. So like I said, we might as well brand the WCC racist too.
And y'all do very little debate in this forum anyhow. Generally yall give the political conservative talking points and proceed to try to denigrate and make feel stupid anyone who doesn't agree with ya. -

I wish I had been around for the start of this thread...for reasons...
Question: Who is more deserving of a spot in the Congressional Black Caucus?
A. A black representative from a majority white district, or
B. A white representative from a majority black district
According to the CBC, the answer to that question is, without a doubt, A. Tennessee Democrat Steve Cohen won the election for his district in 2006. His district is over 60% black, while Cohen is white. He requested membership in the Caucus and Missouri Democrat William Lacy told Cohen he could not join because he was white. It did not matter to them that Cohen represented a "majority minority" district. It mattered to them that Cohen was not black. -

Yet, a politician who was a member of a white only public group has been chastised in the past.
Here is one example -
In the 1980s the Congressional Black Caucus actually did extend membership to South Carolina Rep. Robert Tallon (D). Rep. Tallon promptly mistook CDC co-founder Rep. Augustus Hawkins as being 'not black' either!

righteousdude2 said: ↑... I couldn't help but ask, do we have a Gongressional white Caucus, and the answer are "No!"
So why don't we have a Congressional White Caucus? ... And while I'm at it, should there not also be a Congressional Asian Caucus? A Congressional Hispanic Caucus? And a Congressional Caucus for Minorities in Congress?
...I have to ask when the white folk and Asians and Hispanics are going to have their very own Asian Entertainment Awards? or a White Entertainment Television?...
...
I have to wonder why the white women have not yet started their very own network on cable television that is designed specifically for white women, or Asian women, of Hispanic women, or for Pakastani women?
Are these black only networks in some way disparaging or racially segregating television when it comes to having a channel or award designed specifically for the black woman?...
... but would they be welcomed by the leader of the black music awards, black women's channels, and black caucus without being called retaliatory racism?...Click to expand...
SAG Awards nominees for Best Cast/Ensemble often indicate nominees for the Oscar Best Picture. This year they are The Imitation Game, Boyhood, Birdman, Theory of Everything, and the Grand Budapest Hotel. Biggest snub was “Selma,” which didn’t start screening until late, and “Into the Woods,” which SAG audiences loved. They will each be Best Picture nominees anyway.
Some surprises among the actresses. Naomi Watts in St Vincent is very nice. Jennifer Aniston for Cake–I didn’t think it was possible, but good for her. Nothing for Emily Blunt or anyone else in Into the Woods except Meryl Streep. Rosamund Pike in Gone Girl also a stretch.
And no Gugu Mbatha Raw or David Oyelowo.
Indeed, it’s an all white SAG this year in the movie categories. Black actors only rated on TV. Selma” has a 100% on RottenTomatoes.
