First, let me say that, as with all things I post in the forums? This is but my own humble opinion on things. It doesn't represent my fellow staff and certainly not this site, in any way. If others agree, great! I speak alone and for myself though. No one else. That is important to note, because to some people? We're already in a race war and it's well underway.
Don’t disrespect our president, black lawmakers tell Netanyahu
That is the title to the article, and it says a lot all by itself. Netanyahu may be many things, and many of those are bad to the view of a large % of folks around the world. So be it. We're not his minder or babysitter and the man is a world leader in his own right.
It's important to note though, while descrimination IS a part of Israeli life in some ways? Racism is damn sure NOT a part of it ..until American blacks MAKE it a part. You see, Israel has been quite busy over time, bringing Jews of all sorts to Israel. Including Jews as black as night from Africa and other locations. Israel also counts around a million Arabs...MUSLIM ARABS...as full citizens of the State of Israel. Some even serve in their Government. Oh..the little things the media doesn't mention, when hating on Israel is the agenda to be followed. (sigh)
Back to the racists we have among all sides here in America..and in this case, the blatant racism among the blacks forming the CBC.
Some black folk I absolutely term as racists, tend to suggest "racism" is a White-Only problem....and I point to examples just like the above to show how ignorant and naive that sort of a statement truly is.
Congress is, we'd think, made up of educated people. Yet, when Congress invites a world leader to speak (which Congress is 100% within its rights to do, with or without a Presidential "permission slip"), it is deemed a Black/White thing because it happens to be a HALF BLACK President being "slighted" by not being asked for his blessings in a Congressional Address.
No one is saying or has ever said it should be a White only audience among Congress. It is a Congressional Black Caucus choice to MAKE this a racial point, when it never had any tone of that before.

It's no insult to the President, until he LOOKED for a reason to BE insulted. I'm sorry this President has seen fit to burn every ally we've traditionally had in the Middle East to make kissy face with Tehran. That doesn't make him the "Nation's President". It makes him a rogue leader off on a personal crusade, and I hope the nation comes through his personal mission okay.
After all, the majority of the foundation to BUILD this situation where Iran stands as the only "ally" our nation has left there, outside shotgun marriages of mutual NEED, was conducted in total and absolute secrecy for an extended period..by a President who just KNEW he knew better than every other person in this nation of ours...elected or otherwise.
Now...the leader of Israel responds to an INVITATION extended by a member of the National Command Authority, in terms of personal authority to make that invitation, and it's suddenly a Black/White thing?
Racism is the scourge of our nation. It is the least logical and most hateful form of ignorance our citizens still suffer in. It is only made WORSE and the feelings made HARDER when leaders openly engage in racism, like this, and then try and actually paint it as 'protective' of their "leader".
I thought Obama once said he was everyone's President. Why is it...as a white man in America today....examples like the above leave me feeling like I am ABSOLUTELY NOT a part of what the President sees as HIS nation? (Oh..I'm white, conservative and live in a state that didn't vote for him... Hell.. 3 strikes. I'm on a list for a FEMA camp for sure!)
Some of the Blacks in Congress, as evidenced by this, are NO better or really different from David Duke himself. Racists are just scumbags. No matter the side the hate comes from or is directed to. Scumbaggery, to a person.

The audience for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress on March 3 is shaping up to be largely Republican — and almost completely white.
Many members of the Congressional Black Caucus say they’re planning to skip the speech, calling it a slight to President Barack Obama that they can’t and won’t support.

“To me, it is somewhat of an insult to the president of the United States,” said Rep. Greg Meeks (D-N.Y.), leaving the White House on Tuesday after a long meeting with Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, who also will miss the speech. “Barack Obama is my president. He’s the nation’s president, and it is clear, therefore, that I’m not going to be there, as a result of that, not as a result of the good people of Israel.”
