NAACP Leader Balks At Idea Of Congressional White Caucus [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | February 17, 2017 | Ian Mason

Cornell William Brooks, President and CEO of the NAACP, was at loss for words Thursday night as former Reagan adviser Jeffrey Lord injected a hypothetical Congressional White Caucus into a debate on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360.

The racially charged exchange began during a discussion of President Trump having asked an African-American reporter from a black-focused new radio outlet if she knew the leadership of the Congressional Black Caucus.

“Frankly I used to think the Congressional Black Caucus, when it was first formed, was a good thing,” Lord began. “I changed my mind on this. I don’t think there should be any caucuses in the House of Representatives that are divided by race. I mean, heaven forbid, if David Duke got elected and wanted to form a Congressional White Caucus, that would be appalling,” he said, explaining his change of heart.

“Sir, Jeffrey, that is…I’m looking for a word here. Beyond…it’s completely preposterous. To compare the Klan to the Congressional Black Caucus,” Brooks smilingly replied, visibly upset by the analogy his fellow panelist drew.

“You would be okay with a Congressional White Caucus? Really?” Lord shot back, interrupting Brooks’ explanation of the Black Caucus’s purpose. “I didn’t say that,” was Brook’s immediate reply.

Not content with a mere explanation of the differences between the CBC and this hypothetical White Caucus, Brooks demanded an apology for the comparison. “Frankly, sir, you should apologize for even putting the Klan and the Congressional Black Caucus in the same sentence,” he told Lord.

It’s not a Cong Black Caucus; it’s a Cong Collectivist Black Caucus. Conservative black congresspeople are not allowed in the door.

It’s that whole tolerance and diversity thing going on.

Just change the name, “CBC” to anti American Marxist professional victimology grievance group and invite the Democrats of all colors and religions to join. Oh wait, would not that just be the Democratic political party?! The racial spoils co-oalition?! The pay me to not attackkk you group?! The we don’t want equality, we just want extortion of you forever group. CBC might be easier to remember.

If there’s a CBC there can be a CWC. There should be neither.

The NAACP guy told Lord that the CBC was not about race. Does that mean a white congress critter can be a member of the CBC? No? How many white congress critters are members now? Zero? Conclusion: the CBC is a racist organization.

These black and “Hispanic” caucuses are racist.

What is the difference between the racist KKK and the racist Congressional Black Caucus? The Klan didn’t allow communists in it.

You should give some type of warning! "Before reading the following, make sure you are not in the process of eating and or drinking. You have been warned!!!"

I almost drowned (from my ice tea.) :-)
