Progressives in U.S. House and racial issues

I’ll not be arrogant nor bumptious enough thinking I could do any more than write a rant regarding my take on why the U.S. House is so dysfunctional.

In a word, it’s racism and using other words, it’s the racist agenda: you shall have nothing. You shall have no defining moments to garner respect nor grand-stand on any issue regarding how America is to be governed. You are and will be permanently relegated to the status of irrelevancy and, ha-ha-ha, you dumb Blacks(Sp) will continue voting for us, now put that in your pipe and smoke it! I think this resolve was adapted right after passage of the 1965 Civil Rights Bill.

In my opinion, it is the U.S. House that is maintaining the racial up-roars in our country. It is where it starts and spreads its tentacles throughout America and the world.

Further, this Rangel issue is what really caught my attention. If one were to look at the censuring of Rep. Charlie Rangel and I note the House was not voting on a bill, an amendment nor a call for closure on anything but rather voting for the dignity of a Black man, a Black man serving in the House for over forty years, one can only imagine how every bill coming before them is a Black and White issue approached with subliminal and nefarious postures to, first and foremost, keep Blacks in their place.

This is the group who, in all seriousness and with the power, want the President to fail. I shall not be moved on this one!

To be a Black Congressperson has to be a miserable job. I can but imagine the smoldering feelings when they have to get together to do anything and it’s a wonder no one has gone ‘postal’ on them. The ignorance and inaptness they have displayed during this Presidency alone is stifling!

I note Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid did not register a vote censuring Mr. Rangel, for whatever reason. I find that curious. Aren't the two of them the Presidents’ point persons? Are they not the highest and most visible icons of the Democratic Party and what it stands for?

I would love to see a comparison between members of the House educational and religious backgrounds as compared to those of Senate Republicans. Ill bet’cha the difference is remarkable!

Race and the Vote to Censure Charlie Rangel
By JAY COST
Excerpt:
Last night the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to censure Representative Charlie Rangel (D-NY), 333-79. Only two Republicans (Peter King of New York and Don Young of Alaska) voted against the censure resolution, but Democrats were more evenly divided, with 170 supporting the resolution and 77 opposed. Interestingly, the divide among Democrats appears to be related to race.

And
Once again, we see a pretty strong relationship. Districts where there are fewer African-Americans .... make up the bulk of the censure votes here, while districts with larger proportions of African-Americans make up the bulk of votes against censure.
