IÂ’ve argued this point for some time now, and IÂ’m glad to see a prominent voice speak in agreement with my point.

There was never a good reason for any members of Congress to create a group whose sole criterion for membership was race (or ethnicity in the case of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus). The CBC (Congressional Black Caucus) is so color-based that even congressmen representing majority-black districts who are not themselves black (such as Rep. Stephen Cohen, D-Tenn.), who applied for membership) are not allowed to be members. Such a group, if it existed anywhere else in America, would properly be declared racist and would be either legally or morally forced to shut down.

Imagine the likely hubbub over the creation of a Congressional White Caucus if you have any doubt as to how wrong the existence of such groups really is.

It is just too bad that it took the CBCÂ’s kowtowing to Castro to get people to look at the essential wrongness of the groupÂ’s existence.
