Several days ago I read somewhere that the president is directing the managers of all federal agencies to assure diversity. I put 2+2 together and realized that the directive and the memo are likely related.

Taken together I find these activities very troubling.

You ain't seen nothing yet. If B. Hussein gets in for a second term.Boy Howdy!!!!

Howdy!!!!!

"And all of a sudden the very racial identity that we had deemphasized because it kept us behind the walls of segregation we now embraced because it brought us social programs, affirmative action, and advantages in American life that other groups did not have."

What is interesting is the turn of a phrase in this sentence...

"“You can spend a lot of time trying to win over white independents, but if you don’t pay attention to your base, African-Americans, if you have not locked up your base yet, you’ve got a serious problem,” said CNN contributor Roland Martin."

I was struck by the phrase calling HIS BASE to be African Americans ,,,also found it interesting that he WILL get the 90% no matter what....would appear that the vote will be based on something other than who is best.

"But that doesn’t mean every black Obama supporter will vote for him happily — nor does it guarantee that turnout will approach the stratospheric levels of 2008, even though Obama needs a huge showing from his base to offset the expected loss of swing voters in states like North Carolina, Virginia and Pennsylvania."

I am sorry to say but this is a logical progression for blacks, asians and hispanics

The population is shifting and whites are becoming a minority. The day will come that this will cause whites to vote for white just to hold some political power (voice) It would be naive to think otherwise. This is no different than that of the 1900's when Irish voted for Irish, etc. Every ethnic group fought for political power some more overtly than others

BK good post filled wih facts. However I never stated that a caucus any caucus was good or bad. I did state that the Black caucus has a purpose and should not be singled out and other caucuses ignored. Thed black caucus for better or worse has every right to exist.

The Democratic party will never let go of the race issue. It is necessary to cause and maintain division and to prepetuate the victim mentality that keeps the African American dependent upon the Federal government and the nanny state. They cause the problem so they can come in and save the day!

and as for "I read it somewhere" and then accusations please stop.

Thank you wayne. Just out of curiousity, I thought I'd see if there was a list of every caucus in the US Senate and US Congress. OMGoodness. I had no idea. Take a look at this list for the Congress!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucuse...tates_Congress

Congressional Horse Caucus. Congressional Shipbuilding Caucus. Congressional Ski and Snowboard Caucus. The list is longer than the list of clubs in TV. Do they get paid extra for attending caucus meetings?

That is the most honest truthful statement that I have read on this board.
