Tancredo: Abolish Black, Hispanic Caucuses

"White House hopeful Tom Tancredo said Thursday the existence of the Congressional Black Caucus and other race-based groups of lawmakers amounts to segregation and should be abolished.

'It is utterly hypocritical for Congress to extol the virtues of a colorblind society while officially sanctioning caucuses that are based solely on race,' said the Colorado Republican, who is most widely known as a vocal critic of illegal immigration.

'If we are serious about achieving the goal of a colorblind society, Congress should lead by example and end these divisive, race-based caucuses,' said Tancredo, who is scheduled pitch his longshot presidential bid this weekend in New Hampshire." More.
