The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Wednesday night injected race into the national debate on health care, saying any black lawmaker who votes against President Obama's sweeping overhaul isn't really black, the Hill newspaper reported.

"We even have blacks voting against the health care bill," Jackson reportedly said at a Congressional Black Caucus reception Wednesday night honoring the 25th anniversary of the civil rights leader's run for president.

"You can't vote against health care and call yourself a black man," the Hill reported him saying.

The remark was a clear shot at Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala., the only member of the CBC to vote against the House version of the health care legislation.

SMFH :

How pissed is he going to be when he finds out that there are white people without health care too?!?!?!
MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

So, what color should we call any CBC member that votes against the bill. There is no Congressional White Caucus, and I don't know of any other colored caucuses around...what to do, what to do?

There's an asian - pacific, and hispanic caucus as well.

And the white caucus is called the National Republican Congressional Committee.

I know, I may be crazy - but in an ideal world, wouldn't these guys be voting their conscience along with the majority of their electorate instead of listening to some gasbag pulling the race card?

I know, it's crazy talk - go about your business.

Very nice.

Oh, you meant literal colors.

I really thought you were talking in the 70 year old Southerner way... "Them colored boys have their own caucus."

Jesse Jackson should be sainted for all his positive contributions to American society.

I'm old and sometimes I forget things. So could you please list 2 or 3 just to refresh my failing memory. Thanks.

A little of both...but, yeah...it would be helpful if they all went to colors.

Black = Black
Red = American Indian
Yellow = Asian
Brown = Hispanic
White = White
Rainbow = Gay(s) (ahoy Barney Frank)
Blue = Jews

Or hell, just use food:

Fried Chicken = Black
Maize = American Indian
Fried Rice = Asian
Beans = Hispanic
Saltines = White
Sausage = Gay(s)
Matzo = Jews
