How come there is a Black Caucus but not a White Caucus in the USA Congress?

Why is it ok for black people to be racist but not whites? When will white people have the right to organize and look after white interests? When whites are a minority in 2040? When Whites are 10% of the population? When there are no White people left?

    Oh come on now...you know that a white caucus would be a racist thing. Anything with whites is racist. Didn't they drill that into you at school?

    Blacks, and other minority groups, are greatly outnumbered in both houses of congress. Making an all white caucus would have lots of members (if whites joined), and frankly what would be the point of having one. Also, i agree that a black caucus has limited things to do, and should not be present when our country is trying to blend, not seperate the races.

    Institutional racism still exists and very powerfully. When that ceases to exist, through such measures as voter disenfranchisement, then the black caucus will cease to exist.

    But lets not fool ourselves - the vast majority of Congress is already the White Male Caucus - their voting and legislative record speaks directly to that. They just don;t need to name themselves that.

    It's not really racist. There wouldn't BE a Black Caucus if it wasn't for unfairness during the Civil Rights era. Hurts, huh?

    It's called the Tea Party Caucus.

    When minority groups scream equality, they actually mean equality with benefits and the evil white man must provide.

    August 2010 – Obama went to great lengths to speak out on multiple occasions on behalf of building an Islamic mosque at Ground Zero, while at the same time he was silent about a Christian church being denied permission to rebuild at that location.

    2010 – While every White House traditionally issues hundreds of official proclamations and statements on numerous occasions, this White House avoids traditional Biblical holidays and events but regularly recognizes major Muslim holidays, as evidenced by its 2010 statements on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha.

    October 2011 – Obama’s Muslim advisers block Middle Eastern Christians’ access to the White House.

    February 2012 – The Obama administration makes effulgent apologies for Korans being burned by the U. S. military, 51 but when Bibles were burned by the military, numerous reasons were offered why it was the right thing to do.

    November 2010 – Obama misquotes the National Motto, saying it is “E pluribus unum” rather than “In God We Trust” as established by federal law.

    January 2011 – After a federal law was passed to transfer a WWI Memorial in the Mojave Desert to private ownership, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that the cross in the memorial could continue to stand, but the Obama administration refused to allow the land to be transferred as required by law, and refused to allow the cross to be re-erected as ordered by the Court.

    February 2011 – Although he filled posts in the State Department, for more than two years Obama did not fill the post of religious freedom ambassador, an official that works against religious persecution across the world; he filled it only after heavy pressure from the public and from Congress.

    April 2011 – For the first time in American history, Obama urges passage of a non-discrimination law that does not contain hiring protections for religious groups, forcing religious organizations to hire according to federal mandates without regard to the dictates of their own faith, thus eliminating conscience protection in hiring.
