Tom Tancredo, a Congressman from Colorado, has taken some tough stands on issues. He is real tough on ILLEGAL immigration and he wants to get rid of the ILLEGALS. I admire the fact that he believes that they are a problem that needs to be dealt with. Today he decided to take on racism in the Congress.

Tancredo called for abolishing the racist caucuses that exist in the Congress. He wants to do away with the Congressional Black Caucus, the Hispanic Caucus and any other race based caucus. It is about time these racist organizations were taken to task. Tancredo believes that it is hard to portray an image of a diverse, color blind America, with race based caucuses in the Congress.

I have been saying this for years. While we are at it we can get rid of the Black Miss America Pageant, The United Negro College Fund, and the NAACP. These groups do nothing more than widen the racial divide in this country. There are those who will call Tancredo racist. In one of life’s ironies, the organizations that have membership based on race, will call him a racist for trying to abolish their groups.

White only organizations always come under fire especially if a politician uses their organization. Let a country club that has a white only membership be used for a white politician’s party (wedding reception etc.) and that politician is forced to apologize, and account for his actions. Let some group that is a white organization refuse membership to blacks and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are marching in the streets. I imagine if they had a Congressional White Caucus there would be real problems and Jackson would tell us how terrible white America is.
