Racism! Whites not allowed in Black Caucus

We read:

"Freshman Rep. Stephen I. Cohen, D-Tenn., is not joining the Congressional Black Caucus after several current and former members made it clear that a white lawmaker was not welcome.

"I think they're real happy I'm not going to join," said Cohen, who succeeded Rep. Harold Ford, D-Tenn., in a majority-black Memphis district. "It's their caucus and they do things their way. You don't force your way in. You need to be invited."

Imagine the hysteria if there were a white caucus that blacks were barred from! ANY group wherein blacks were not allowed would be accused of racism so there are clearly a lot of racists in Congress -- black ones.

It rather reminds me of an old Australian political joke:

Q. What's the difference between a caucus and a cactus?
A. With a cactus, all the pricks are on the outside.
