Do you not see the different rule of thumb here? Do you not see the ridiculous agenda to label black people racist here? Seriously I don't know what experiences in life you people have been throw to think like this...

Republicans Walk out of House in Protest
I think comparing protecting two black men, at all costs, to what you want to work against the GOP proves much more toward the racial slant than about anything else you could have done. How long had the Dems been back in control of the House when they tried to steam roll a re-vote? That one reminds me of the way school kids do when they don't get the result they want. You know, vote over and over till we get what we want.

2. What do you mean "you people".

3. For someone as comfortable as you are throwing charges of racism at every perceived slight, you sure do seem sensitive when on the receiving end. You can't have it both ways and in an increasingly ethnic society....get used to it. You will see more and more charges of racism leveled at previously insulated groups as the color lines continue to blur.
You jumped into the debate with a defensive stance to the OP’s argument… This argument included “is there any doubt they're racist?”… If this wasn’t your attitude or intentions it wasn’t made clear with the statement about Clinton and Rev. Sharpton…

When I mentioned “you people” I was referring to all individuals biased by a heavy conservative slat… That type seems to live in a paradox (fairness is racist, progressive is evil, up is down, etc.)…

Lastly I agree with you about me being comfortable calling out racism… I call a spade a spade with no regrets… But I’m never sensitive about the receiving end because I’m not racist, I don’t agree with racism and I don’t care about people bearing false witness (the lord will settle it out in the end)…

Luckily your book only includes pictures... People's heads might explode if it included written word...

This list includes the Democratic caucuses... How would sending a letter to groups that include Hispanics, blacks, whites and Asians racist? Think about it ROY...

No, I didn't defend the OP...I responded to florida.bob with a humerous jab at how all these wild charges of racism get thrown around...even at the Clintons. In the very next post to the thread I followed up calling the actions of BOTH sides politicking which both refutes the OP's claim of racial motivation by the CBC and points out my belief that the actions vs. Holder are political.

I know you have to kinda read and maybe even think about what I write since "you people" apparantly can't tell where a person stands on a topic unless they include "*******" or "teabagger" in their posts.

Oh, and I'm a fiscal conservative, social liberal so I confuse the heck out of the linear (flat line) thinkers around here.

Black Lawmakers To Walk Out On Eric Holder Contempt Vote
The Congressional Black Caucus will walk out of the House chamber during Thursday's vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.
No big deal. They have their constituents to answer to. If their constituents don't like it, they'll vote them out. If they don't vote them out, then i don't see why i should care about it when i have my own Congressman to worry about.
