The Congressional Black Caucus renewed calls Monday for President Obama to nominate more blacks to Cabinet posts.

“You have moved forward with new Cabinet appointments and yet, to date, none of them have been African American,” the group's chairwoman, Democratic Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge, told Obama in a letter. “You have publicly expressed your commitment to retaining diversity within your Cabinet. However, the people you have chosen to appoint in this new term have hardly been reflective of this country’s diversity.”

“It’s embarrassing as hell,” Democratic New York Rep. Charlie Rangel, a founding black caucus member, said in early January

A caucus spokeswoman on Monday named three potential black nominees that Rep. Fudge suggested to the president, all Democrats: North Carolina Rep. Mel Watt for Commerce secretary, California Rep. Barbara Lee for Labor secretary and South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, for Transportation secretary.

Hey Charlie, we have a black president & a black leader of the Justice Department. I suppose you think you should be in some other leadership capacity since you're such a fine upstanding citizen & roll model. Pfft!

The Congressional Black Caucus is racist by definition - how about a Congressional White Caucus?

I hate racists and I especially hate racists who claim other people are racist when they are, in fact, the racists. :)
