Racisism Ok in Washington if your Black

As a white liberal running in a majority African American district, Tennessee Democrat Stephen I. Cohen made a novel pledge on the campaign trail last year: If elected, he would seek to become the first white member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Now that he's a freshman in Congress, Cohen has changed his plans. He said he has dropped his bid after several current and former caucus members made it clear to him that whites need not apply.

"I think they're real happy I'm not going to join," said Cohen, who succeeded Rep. Harold Ford, D-Tenn., in the Memphis district. "It's their caucus and they do things their way. You don't force your way in. You need to be invited."

The Politico

It kills me that after all the ground work by early American racial equality pioneers and the struggles we have made it through that it's being tossed aside for selective segregation.
If there was a whites only caucus holy crap the media and black leaders would be throwing a massive fit, yet nobody dares say a word about this highly racist group.
America will never be one nation as long as this mindset continues to be accepted.
I imagine MLK and everyone else who gave their lives fighting to bring us together are rolling in their graves.
