President Obama ended last night's speech to the Congressional Black Caucus by urging members to get their constituents to the polls to defeat the Republicans in the Nov. 2 elections. "Tell them that the time for action is now," Obama said at a CBC awards dinner. Among Obama's comments: Each and every time we've made epic change -- from this country's founding to emancipation, to women's suffrage, to workers' rights -- it has not come from a man. It has come from a plan. It has come from a grassroots movement rallying around a cause. That's what the civil rights movement made possible -- foot soldiers like so many of you, sitting down at lunch counters, standing up for freedom; what made it possible for me to be here today -- Americans throughout our history making our union more equal, making our union more just, making our union more perfect, one step at a time. That's what we need again. I need everybody here to go back to your neighborhoods, to go back to your workplaces, to go to churches and go to the barbershops and got to the beauty shops, and tell them we've got more work to do. Tell them we can't wait to organize. Tell them that the time for action is now, and that if each and every person in this country who knows what is at stake steps up to the plate, if we are willing to rise to this moment like we've always done, then together we will write our own destiny once more.

You have an issue with free association?
No, would you object to a Congressional White Caucus? Do you think it might be kind of racist? Could hObama withhold his condemnation of such a group? Would the CBC and NAACP denounce them as racist? Membership should be based on the content of their character, not the color of their skin, IMO. But then it wouldn't be a BLACK caucus, and they'd have to have very low standards for charcter, to find members from the ranks of congress.
We have problems with black racists and the congressional racist black only caucus. Hondo makes a good point. And well you are just you.
How many black members in WHite Power? The KKK? The Lancaster Country Club in Buffalo? Racism is AOK in yinz's books as long as it's Massuh Whitey doing the racin'...
I don't object to anyone freely associating. Got it?
