This is from 2010 but you get the idea...
"WASHINGTON (AP) — The Congressional Black Caucus says it will allow two recently elected black Republicans to join the group if they ask.
The all-Democratic caucus had wavered over the issue since Tim Scott of South Carolina and Allen West of Florida were elected last week. Chairwoman Barbara Lee had pointed to the group’s liberal mission statement as a potential point of conflict."
Black caucus says it will welcome Republicans | theGrio
So as the link I supplied hinted, this is strictly about Democrats and they admit how it will be presented.

Of course there's no Republican Black Caucus because there are only two African American Republican members of the house and zero African American Senators. Cong Tim Scott (R-SC) and Cong Allen West (R-FL) could causus in the cloak room.
