Now why wouldn't the Congressional Black Caucus welcome Black Republicans?
Could it be because they are free thinkers who don't buy into the
race-bating/victim vending/poverty-pimping tactics of Democrats?
Remember, this is the same CBC that gave us Charlie Rangel and Maxine
Waters.

:
*Three black Republican House candidates are in a position to possibly join
the 2011 congressional freshman class, but the official spokesman for the
Congressional Black Caucus refused to say Monday whether they will be
invited to join the traditionally Democratic group.*
“It’s an issue that will be addressed when it’s relevant to be addressed,”
said CBC spokesman J. Jioni Palmer, who punted to previous statements made
about the issue.
Of 14 black Republican
candidates<http://dailycaller.com/2010/11/02/congressional-black-caucus-mum-on-whether-it-will-welcome-black-republicans-in-2011/#>
this
year, Tim Scott of South Carolina, Allen West of Florida and Ryan Frazier of
Colorado are in reach of winning their districts. While West and Frazier’s
races are considered toss-ups, Scott has a comfortable lead over his
Democratic challenger and is widely considered a shoe-in.
While the CBC officially has not been clear about who they will allow in
next year, Democratic Rep. James Clyburn, a CBC member and House majority
whip, said last month that he would welcome a black Republican.
“If Tim Scott is interested in joining the
caucus<http://dailycaller.com/2010/11/02/congressional-black-caucus-mum-on-whether-it-will-welcome-black-republicans-in-2011/#>,
he would be welcome,” he said.
*But CBC Chairman Barbara Lee implied a few weeks later in an interview with
The
Economist<http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2010/10/congressional_black_caucus?page=1>that
black Republicans would be welcomed only if they conform to the
group’s
liberal guidelines. “The CBC has an agenda,” Lee told The Economist. “Our
agenda is about lifting people out of poverty, providing middle-class tax
cuts, supporting climate-change legislation. Do [incoming black Republicans]
embrace this agenda?”*
40 + years of voting Democrats into office has made thing worse, not better,
for the black community. Poverty rates are higher and how will supporting
climate change help the black community when it raises everyone's energy
bills?
