Black Caucus, white wash
The Congressional Black Caucus loyalty oath:
I pledge allegiance, to racial identity politics, no matter how much my corruptocrat colleague of color stinks to high heaven.
The Hill: Congressional Black Caucus comes out strong for Rangel.

» Reuters's Freeland: 'Anorexic' Americans Think Tax Bite Too Heavy When In Fact It's Dangerously Thin
Welcome to the Age of Obama.
RAAAAACIST!
fast forward a few years…..
Black President
Black VP
Whites a statistical minority
NAACP and The Black Caucus STILL going strong.
WHEN will these RACIST groups be forced to disband???????
It’s always about race isn’t it?
Maybe they should re-read Pat Buchanan’s article on race. Where’s the gratitude from the Black community?
I’m getting real sick of the openly racist blacks in this country.
add la ratza to that list please….
Unless I counted wrong or did bad math, looks like the percentage of blacks in Congress is greater the overall percentage of blacks in the overall population. Gerrymandering must end in 2011 or 2013. Immediately.
Race over principles. How come they’re not Republicans?
The reason why donks — of any color — won’t take out their garbage is because their hatred of Republicans trumps all other considerations.
If you’re a donk and a crook, you’re an embarrassment to other donks until you utter the Magic Words: “… But my enemies are right-wing Republicans!”
At which point, no matter what you’ve done, all is forgiven and forgotten and the phalanx forms around you.
You have to admire the donks for this lock-step capability: it almost gives literal meaning to the phrase, “Honor among thieves.”
Added a couple of items to it.
Slavery was SUCH a huge mistake. Just think what this nation would be like without it… sigh
Fair is Fair where is the White Caucus?
It’s been a year! How long does it take to decide if not reporting a half million dollars in a savings account was deliberate or an innocent oversight? Does anyone really believe a politician would forget he had half a million dollars stashed away, even for one moment? And that is just one of many violations. If Rangel was a Republican, none of these people would be objecting to his removal.

A lot of these Black racist socialist / communist clowns went to Cuba and praised Castro for the fine way he helped out the Cuban People–into second class citizen lifestyles of shortage and peonage.

Now they are bringing the same “quality of life” to the rest of us as they get rich at our expense.

If I recall correctly, J.C. Watts (R-OK) was denied admittance to the Congressional Black Caucus for the crime of being a Republican. This group is not only racist, but partisan!
Politicians just don’t get it. This is not about race, gender or political affiliation. It is about a different form of bigotry….how there are two sets of rules and laws in America (for the average Joe and the set for the so-called elites).
We all know that if anyone of us had “forgot” to disclose over half a million dollars to the IRS we would be sitting in jail right this minute. That is what has the American public outraged…not just Republicans, or Democrats or Independents, but all Americans!
So true. Having just finshed reading MM’s “Culture Of Corruption” I am coming to believe those of us who work hard and raise our families, black or white, are a bunch of saps. The “elitists” suck us dry and slap us around at will. The congressional black caucus is just part of that corruption.
Maybe I will run for congress and join, after all I am 1/16th black! And, I am offended, it should have been the African-American caucus!
Anyone taking a loyalty oath above and beyond what is necessary to hold public office, as set forth by the Constitution, should be tried for treason.
Huh? You mean that statement is just hyperbole? You mean it isn’t true? Just another mis-representation of the facts? A fabrication?
Yep, I understand agendas and soliciting emotions to advance a point of veiw, but this issue is entirely too easy just using the facts.
How can Rep Rangel manage the House, Ways and Means Committee when he cannot manage his own affairs? How can he do his job effectively with this cloud hanging over his head? How can he be trusted? If he is hiding, or unaware of his own finances, what is he hiding. or unaware of on the Committee.

So being a black politician in the “black caucus” means to be corrupt, lack integrity, and generally lie to oneself and one’s own constituents about what’s going on in Congress. It is silly to have these kinds of groups backing the likes of Rangel and exist to continue identity politics of the worst. Some of the groups that come to mind are:
1. The Latino Caucus
2. The Progressive Caucus
I’m sure there are more but these are examples that I can think of. All that minorities are taught anymore (and I’m not saying “all” of them) is that they perceive themselves as “victims” and so they’ll commit a crime, steal, lie, to get what they want. It is entirely wrong when civilians do it and even moreso for our politicians to do so.
Rangel is being protected and absolved by people in his same victim identity group. They don’t know anything else. And neither do many minority constituencies in the US.
Rangel, and others like him, who make laws for us but don’t follow those same laws, should be put in jail. But they won’t. Because not only are they protected but many of their constituents view them as heroes which is sad at best.
We are becoming a Banana Republic. Laws mean nothing to the politicians if they can be broken and ignored so easily.
I think it’s time for a White Caucus.
Or maybe an “Everyone Else Caucus”.
Of course, the black Democrats could always form an offshoot and shove recalcitrant members into it:
“The Jackass Caucus”. Works for me.
Uncle Sam’s Plantation.
If Rangel’s district were drawn based on the minimization of the geographical perimeter for all districts in the state instead of the racial composition of each district, he would be out of office. Gerrymandering is the only reason he has lasted this long.
Charlie Rangel and the Black Caucus – the gifts that keep on giving.
It’s hard to believe, but these clowns are actually bringing racism back into style. They are so repugnant – as a group – that people are learning to hate them again, as a group.
How can anyone use the term “character” when discussing Charlie Rangel?
Slavery was America’s Ishmael – the illigitimate child of Abraham who ultimately fathered the middle eastern muslim peoples.
People in the Georgia have said “jokingly”, “If we had known what slavery would lead to, we would have picked our own damn cotton.”
People in
theGeorgiaSo, if the black caucus discovered a white Republican doing what Charlie Rangel’s done, would they be singing the same tune? I think not. Calling Rangel a crook is raaacist, right?
They studied under Charlie Manson….Helter Skelter-
Race War on!
Keep in mind that people of African decent will NOT be in line for power for very long. Demographics suggest that latin americans will soon be in the majority, not blacks – they never will be. If they want to dominate the political landscape and profiteer, they had better hurry it up. Latins will not be sympathetic to their complaints.
If Rangel was a Republican, they’d be at the gates with torches and pitchforks.
Hope is not a plan; not all change is good. WE are the civilian national security force! I never read in the Constitution or law books where being a particular color or race excused you from criminal or civil penalties. The resistance is here! The resistance is NOW! RESIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My God! Can’t anyone in DC smell that odor? What is that smell? It comes from the rotting carcass of common sense. It mingles with that other odor given off by the utter hypocrisy of it all.
These lowlife hacks called representatives make me sick. I see no redeeming value in anyone of the CBC or the Democrats as a whole. It’s like watching the all those idiots stand behind Bill Clinton. They have long since been unworthy of any respect from me.
Where did I put that Lysol?
I am looking at all those faces but I cannot seem to see William ‘cold cash’ Jefferson?
Anyone know what happened to that fine outstanding man that this same Black Caucus stood up in solidarity with?
You have read “What if” books? Like, “What if Germany had won the war?”
I would like to read a book that looked at the United States today and said, “What if there had been no slavery and the border had been protected?”
But it would probably be too damn depressing…no Crips, Bloods, La Raza, Rap Music, prison riots, free school lunches, welfare, inner cities, etc.
I live a majority black area and most of said residents would vote for Hitler if he were black-and had a “D” in front of his name.
It’s all about race-it’s only about race.
Mark this day on the calendar and sing glory hallelujah. Today marks the beginning of post-racial and post-gender America.
How do I know? Vile and corrupt women and minorities can now obtain positions of power and wealth and act with impunity, just like white men.
“But, but, but 150 years ago there was slavery and all our people are still victims.”
Poor Tiger, poor Oprah, Poor Barrack, Poor Kobe, poor T.O., poor Nancy, poor Barbara, poor Dianne….
Poor Charlie.
cubbiegal; yes it is only about race because they have a long history of getting guilt ridden whites to give them whatever they demand if they demand it loudly enough with a rent a mob from acorn. alas wait until next year, from a cardinals fan.
Race trumps everything for ethnic grievance groups.
A better name for this group of bitter partisan race-baiting opportunists would be;
The Caucus of Corrupt Congressional Black Con-artists
The Black Neo-Com Consortium
The Honkey Payback Cabal
The Union of Socialist Sycophantic Revolutionaries
Pick one.
Cheapseat
I agree. My attitude is that everyone’s ancestors have been discriminated against-mine because they were Jews, my husband’s-Irish, my ex-(and hence our son)-American Indian…
My family wasn’t even in this country at the time of slavery.
I won’t be played by the “white guilt” card.
Btw-If it’s the Deadbirds and the Spankees in the WS I hope the ground opens up and Godzilla eats both teams.
Go Red Sox.
I have no use for these “hyphenated americans”. We, as a nation, must stand firm in our national identity of Americans first. Allegiance to any other distraction serves only internal division and diversion. Groupings such as these only reenforce that the primary focus of these groups belief is American second. I could have sworn that the elected “officials” SERVE ALL THEIR CONSTITUENTS EQUALLY WITHOUT DISTINCTION TO CLASS OR RACE.
Hypocracy, thy name is the Black Caucus or any other pseudonymic identifier. If by chance a Caucasian or WASP Caucus were to be formed, would there be any doubt of the first words formed by these inherently racist groupings?
LMAO. The Congress Black Caucus (We protect the brothers and sisters of color) is whitewashing (no color pun intended) the antics of sleezebag Charlie Rangel “I’ll commit no corruption before I am assured of personal gain”. I am so glad that they could find the time while they are soooooooooooooo busy working on healthcare, the economy, the war in Afghanistan, etc. etc. to champion their beloved model of truth, justice, and the American Way, CHARLES RANGEL, CONGRESSIONAL MANWHORE!
CAUCUS SLEEZEBAGS OF A FEATHER, GATHER AT THE TROUGH TOGETHER. OINK OINK OINK.
I’m so old that I remember when Bill Cosby was actually funny, but the first pithy comment I ever heard him say was that hyphenated Americans will ruin this country. I don’t know if he originated the idea, but that was the first time I heard it.

Cosby recently said that he thought a lot of the disagreement with Obama was “racially motivated”.
I have had more than enough of these bigots who think they can get a pass on being racist just because they’re black.
Enough already.

This “surrounding the wagons” around a crook keeps the black community bogged down in corruption. Yes, white politicians are crooks too but they can be moved out. White politicians need black ones to turn out the Democrat vote so they fund them and look the other way. No one really puts pressure on them. There fore many, many good people live in terrible conditions because of instances like this outright thievery being covered up in Rangel’s case by the US congress.
Silly Rabbit. Slavery reparations are non-taxable.
MSNBC just released the story of Michelle’s slavery roots. I’ll wait for the mini-series.
speaking of slavery anybody catch the news story about MO’s slavery roots…

Congressional Black Caucus.
Do they have any non-black “members”????
If they don’t, someone better “Affirmative Action” their arses into compliance. Maybe that Judge… what’s her name… oh yeah…..Sotomayor…. She could deal with that. As I recall, that’s her expertise.
If you can’t have a “Congressional White Caucus”, then the CBC is inherently racist. By anyone’s definition.
ACLU? Bueller? Bueller?
CBC is the Congressional KKK.
Black Racism is still racism by any definition.
Congressional Black Caucus.
Even the name is racist.
Where are the black conservatives to rage against their representatives? The black community will be forever wanting until they throw off the yoke of corruption.
Congressional Black Caucus = RACISTS
Can’t have one, that would be racist..and who said anything about “fair”, this is politics.
What if blacks could assimilate to our culture the way every other immigrant population has? Why is it inner city blacks “can’t find a job” but Mexican illegals find work everywhere? Why isn’t my supporting someone who refuses to work not slavery since I have no choice?
Be careful with what you demand in terms of Rangel’s resignation or removal. It can be turned against us with a series of harrassment accusations such as Sarah Palin has faced in the last year. If mere accusation and investigation is cause for removal you give your enemies a hefty tool. They WILL use it.
On precisely what terms should Rangel be removed? Be sure to phrase it very surgically so that it doesn’t become so broad that somebody who tosses a nickle to a panhandler and declares it as an office expense would face a charge of misuse of funds leading to his removal from Congress.
{^_^}
And many of us are just to the right of Attila the Hun! We’ve seen first hand what left-wingers are capable of.
It’s Obama who is racially motivated. Income redistribution is more acceptable and easier to do that “reparations” for blacks.
