01/25/07 — A Reader Points Out That Many Immigrants Pay No Income Tax

From: A Rochester, NY Reader:

I wish to call your attention to an interesting article at www.politico.com by Josephine Hearn, dated January 24, 2007: "Black Caucus: Whites Not Allowed" .

"Representative Stephen I. Cohen, a white liberal Democrat representing a majority African-American district in Tennessee [VDARE.COM note: Tennessee’s Ninth District, which was deliberately drawn to be "majority African-American."], apparently thought that it would be a good idea to join the Congressional Black Caucus, since he ' … felt we had interests in common as far as helping people in poverty … '

"But Rep. Cohen found out that there are certain unwritten social 'rules' after Rep. William Lacy Clay, Sr. (D.-Mo.) circulated a memo saying that the caucus should remain 'exclusively African-American'. His son, Rep. William Lacy Clay, Jr. (D.-Mo.) later added: 'Mr. Cohen asked for admission, and he got his answer.' 'It’s an unwritten rule. It’s understood. It’s clear.' "

Yes, "it’s clear", all right. Apartheid is wrong, wrong, wrong … when whites do it in South Africa.
