Congressional black caucus gets soundly booed at Health Care reform protest

Watch as members of the CBC walk from the capital to their office. They were booed for their support of the Health insurance reform bill not because of the color of their skin. I never heard the "N" word where I was, and these people were treated the same as the other members of congress that supported the bill. It is another shameful example of using the "race card" to promote your agenda. Anyone that believes this crowd was made up of racist thugs is fooling themselves. The crowd was large and energetic and there is a great deal of anger and frustration over this piece of bad legislation, however no violence or destruction was evident. Conservatives just don't operate that way. If you have a video that shows what these congressman claim than post it for all to see otherwise I call BS!

There should be a Congressional White Caucus with Whites only. To support the white people achieving greater equity and to protect the fundamentals of democracy.

It would be a very diverse group. :-)

Shouldn't you call this caucus a RACIST group? If it were all white they would.

The Black Caucus is officially non-partisan, but in practice it has been closely identified with the Democratic Party, and tends to function as a lobbying group within the wider Democratic Party. Prior to 2010, only four black Republicans have been elected to Congress since the Caucus was founded. It may be time to get away from these types of racial groups.

@melskilove The Caucus is officially non-partisan, but in practice it has been closely identified with the Democratic Party, and tends to function as a lobbying group within the wider Democratic Party. (major problem) Prior to 2010, only four black Republicans have been elected to Congress since the Caucus was founded. If ur going to post a statement, you should give the facts to go along with it to help others learn.
