'Cohen said he became convinced that joining the caucus would be "a social faux pas" after seeing news reports that former Rep. William Lacy Clay Sr., D-Mo., a co-founder of the caucus, had circulated a memo telling members it was "critical" that the group remain "exclusively African- American."' His first clue wasn't Stacy Campfield's experience? At least he can go back to Memphis and say "I tried" but surely he expected this response. Posted by: Kay Brooks at January 23, 2007 9:17 AMHmmm, I've heard the same philosophy touted by the black caucus before... "Separate but equal". Bet they have their own bathrooms. Posted by: Rick Forman at January 23, 2007 5:50 PMThink of the response by liberals and the press if there was a Conservative White Male Congressional Caucus? Given conservative white males are not in the majority in the American population, shouldn't we qualify for our own special interest group?
