Quote:How is it a racist organization? Because it all black? Congress is 99% white.

 

Because it's a group of elected people that only represents black people.  It's not about ALL people, only black people.  The very name alone should tell you that.  How does the Congressional Black Caucus represent me?  The organization should just go away.

 

Congress is made up of two houses.  The House of Representatives is supposed to be the voice of the people.  The Senate is supposed to represent the States.  I find it offensive and improper for a member of the House being in the CBC because that member isn't representing me, that member is representing black people.  The same could be said regarding a member of the Senate belonging to the CBC.  That member is only representing black people within the state rather than representing the state overall.
