If you're sent to Washington to represent a geographical area that damn well better be your position. Or is it acceptable to openly represent only a portion of the people residing in that area?

Because, they would argue, the rest of the legislature is, as a practical matter, the “ white caucus”.

Do you?
You support the existence of the Congressional Black Caucus. Would you support the existence of the Congressional White Caucus?

If you do a google image search on black caucus you might just think it's to mean mug everyone
I'd say at least 70% of the images are like that

Even that would be fine, if heads didn't explode when white people got together to do the same. Everyone knows the very suggestion would be met with wailing and gnashing of teeth about the new KKK. If it's wrong, it's wrong. For everyone.
100% Agree

to protect the entitlement programs that were set up by white people(democrats). Not realizing that these same white people(democrats)are using them for political reasons only. They certainly don't want them for neighbors or hanging out buddies. They just want their vote every few years.

Here's something to ponder for anyone who believes this caucus is anything but racially motivated.
William Jefferson was a distinguished member of the black caucus. When Joesph Cao won Jefferson's seat, representing the same district that Jefferson once represented, the black congressional caucus fought like hell to exclude Cao from their group.
It's all about race and nothing else. Except for their concern about Guam tipping over.

Agreed. Ready to support the Congressional White Caucus now?

Alright. Now tell me how many on the left would share your sentiment. Would there be protests in the street? Why?

It's simply "reverse racism", but if your white you will be called a racist for saying this.
