In an interesting tid-bit of striving for “equality amount all races”, the Black Caucus has barred a white law maker from joining their “club”.

A white lawmaker in Tennessee has been barred from becoming a member of the state’s Black Caucus. State representative Stacey Campfield says he attempted to join the black political group in order to better serve the large minority constituency in his precinct. However, the Knoxville Republican says a leader of the Black Caucus told him that, because he is not black, he cannot become a full member or even obtain a copy of the group’s bylaws without a court order or an attorney general’s opinion.

Since the Black Caucus has always been very vocal and critical of other racial issues, I find it extremely interesting that they would take this route. What does this say to America? “We want blacks to have the same thing as whites, but not letting whites have the same things as us.”

Now to be fair to the Caucus, Campfield, the congressman attempting membership, has a questionable motive. He has said less then flattering things in the past and may have ties to the KKK. If all this is so, then I think the Black Caucus needs to be forthcoming on these details and have solid proof of them. Then deny membership on those charges, not his skin color. If they can pull that off, then I would fully back them on this. If they can’t prove it, then it’s all hearsay and another avenue, such as acceptance, needs to be walked down.
