Would a Congressional White Caucus be racist? Would it be racist for members to say that "Only white people" were allowed in, and other races were not?

Is this just a round-about way of asking whether the CBC is a racist organization?

You'd have to ask MyTie.

Only white people allowed? How can it not be racist in any way?

Blacks in America are currently are the most racist people in the world. Where are the 80s black people at? I miss them dearly.

The irony of this statement.

I don't think it's fair to accuse the CBC of being racist themselves. But if no one cares that they have their thing going on and everyone assumes a white caucus would be full of huge giant racists, that could point to a double standard.

My apologies. I take it back and I am sorry.

Equality is quite the opposite of only white people allowed...

I think the point is that either all races should be allowed an exclusive caucus or none should.

Yes, it would definitely be racist. Allowing only one skin-color to do anything is racist by definition, and it should absolutely be avoided. Any scenario where only white people are allowed to do a certain thing is racist, and I honestly don't see how it
couldn't
be a racist action to allow only whites. Equality is quite the opposite of only white people allowed...
So "blacks only" is fine and "whites only" is racist? Okay, done with you.
I don't thínk that's what he meant.

The underlying point of this thread IS the double standard. I created this poll to foster a discussion. The discussion can go any way it wants, but I wanted to see the discussion none the less. The thing that sparked my interest was a wikipedia article I was reading on the "Congressional Black Caucus". Here is the part that really boiled my blood:
Hearn further reported that although the bylaws of the caucus do not make race a prerequisite for membership, former and current members of the caucus agreed that the group should remain "exclusively black." Rep. William Lacy Clay, Jr., D-MO., the son of Rep. William Lacy Clay Sr., D-MO., a co-founder of the caucus, is quoted as saying, "Mr. Cohen asked for admission, and he got his answer. He's white and the caucus is black. It's time to move on. We have racial policies to pursue and we are pursuing them, as Mr. Cohen has learned. It's an unwritten rule. It's understood." In response to the decision, Rep. Cohen stated, "It's their caucus and they do things their way. You don't force your way in." Clay issued an official statement from his office:
Quite simply, Rep. Cohen will have to accept what the rest of the country will have to accept – there has been an unofficial Congressional White Caucus for over 200 years, and now it's our turn to say who can join 'the club.' He does not, and cannot, meet the membership criteria, unless he can change his skin color. Primarily, we are concerned with the needs and concerns of the black population, and we will not allow white America to infringe on those objectives. If the roles were reversed, this wouldn't fly. It's that simple.
