NAACP Leader Balks At Idea Of Congressional White Caucus

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.

There is no Congressional White Caucus. Nor is there a White Chamber of Commerce or a National Association for the Advancement of White People. Why not, you might ask? Because those would be considered “racist” organizations, would they not? If white people, rather than Hispanics, created a national organization or non-profit called “The Race,” would everyone be okay with that? Yet Hispanics have done it and mum’s the word on acismra! (Piglatin for “racism”)

White people are not allowed to create organizations designed to support themselves in America. I have to wonder, aside from the obvious (that liberalism is another word for raging codependence that has been mislabled “Political Correctness”), why white, black, Asian or Hispanic Americans allow this racism to continue. After momentary consideration, I guess I can see why black, Asian and Hispanic folks don’t complain about this racism. They are the beneficiaries of this kind of blatant racism….

WATCH:


“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.

    I love it when the “Civil Rights” crowd show their true colors, so to speak…

    Force the issue: minorities don’t want equal rights, they want special rights and none for whitey. Brooks’ false righteousness begs the question: why can’t whites organize their own white caucus?

    I concur with why can’t whites be equal in all things. I brought up the same issue in Reno, Nevada on Chamber of Commerce titles for others but not whites. The phone directory had quite a listing of these Chamber of Commerces with not a one for whites. Asian, Black, LGBT, Hispanic, etc… I asked about this with the Reno Gazette Journal and the response given to me from their representative was “that is the way it is”. I must have hit something for the listings were removed. I am a single white male, age 62, with no benefits from any programs because of I am not married, no family, having to work because I have too. Painful to do so, but since I do work in pain I can’t receive any assistance for anything. Oh well………….
