Can you smell the hypocrisy?
Did you hear about the liberal Democrat who was recently elected to Congress by voters from a majority black district? As is usual, the newly-minted Congresscritter joined like-minded fellow pols in the Congressional Black Caucus, where they work to advance the causes of their black constituents.
Oh, did I say he joined the Black Caucus?
Sorry 'bout that.
He tried to join the CBC, but was refused entry, 'cause it's a NO WHITES ALLOWED club.
Turns out the very pale, very Jewish, Congressman Cohen (Dem., TN) was not welcomed by the members of the Caucus, the color of his constituents notwithstanding.
Yessiree, Bob. Jim Crow, multi-culti 21st Century style.
Which is as good an excuse as any to quote from the late Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s most famous speech.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Someone needs to ask the racists who run the Black Caucus if they've ever read King's speech. And if they understand it. And whether they join in the slain civil rights leader's dream.
Shameful.

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakan et al. only use King's speech when it suits their racist causes. These bozo's will always make race the first and only issue when it comes to a black person being wronged.
